The Afghan Whigs

In August 1994, during their performance at the Reading Festival, The Afghan Whigs were solidifying their presence in the alternative rock scene with their album "Gentlemen," which had been released earlier that year. This album, notable for its darker themes and emotive lyrics, marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, showcasing their unique sound that blended elements of rock, soul, and R&B. The live recording of "My Curse" features Marcy Mays, highlighting the collaboration between The Afghan Whigs and the female vocalist, which adds depth to the performance. The Reading Festival was a significant event that helped propel the band's visibility in Europe, contributing to their growing fan base following the success of "Gentlemen." This period was instrumental for the Afghan Whigs as they transitioned from cult favorites to a more recognized act in the music industry.
