On September 22, 2012, The Afghan Whigs performed "My Curse" live at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in New York City, showcasing their return after a decade-long hiatus. Prior to this performance, the band released their sixth studio album, "Do to the Beast," in 2014, but the live recording captures a moment during their 2012 reunion when they were revitalizing interest in their music. This performance prominently features Marcy Mays, a notable collaboration since she had previously contributed to their work during the band's original run in the '90s. The Afghan Whigs are recognized for their intense live shows and unique blend of rock, soul, and alternative influences, and this performance foreshadowed their successful re-entry into the music scene, paving the way for a subsequent studio album that would reestablish their relevance in contemporary music.
