The Afghan Whigs

On April 15, 2014, The Afghan Whigs performed "Matamoros" live at the KEXP studio in Seattle, showcasing their dynamic return to the music scene. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "Do to the Beast," which was their first studio release in over 16 years, coming out in April 2014. The album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was a testament to their enduring influence in alternative rock, re-establishing them after a long hiatus following their breakup in 2001. The Afghan Whigs, known for their blend of rock, soul, and R&B, made a notable comeback, driven by their original lineup and the energetic intensity that characterized their earlier works. The KEXP session not only highlighted their revived sound but also reinforced their reputation as a formidable live act in the contemporary music landscape.
