Back in my 20s (in the early 1990s), I was dating a woman who worked for an Oldies radio station. I accompanied her to a station event, at some kind of fair.
A reconstituted version of The Turtles, with a few of the original members and some other hired hands, were trotting out the classic hits of 25 years prior.
I was young, but I knew the music, via my parents.
The song "Happy Together" now crosses my mind any time a long-defunct band reunites.
Are their guys in their 20s, who now regard the early 90s alt-rock explosion here in 2012, the same way I regard the hits of the late 60s?
Is "Going To Town" an angry, alt-rock "Happy Together"?
The Afghan Whigs have reformed and are touring again. And they've even recorded some new music.
You can refresh your memory of the very awesome songs "Going To Town" and "Gentleman" plus hear the new track. And if you like it, you can get a free download at the Afghan Whigs website.
Hear "Going To Town" on Youtube.
Hear "Gentleman" on Youtube.
Hear "See And Don't See" on Youtube.
