Watch The Afghan Whigs’ new video for “The Lottery” from Do to the Beast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih_roddu1xI European Tour February 2nd-24th January 6th, 2015 - The Afghan Whigs have delivered a fun, self-directed, GoPro- filmed video for “The Lottery,” one of the standouts from the band’s latest Do to the Beast . Greg Dulli says of the visual, “Meet Ryan O'Hara, our monitor engineer and cougar magnet. He wakes up everyday with a smile on his face and something positive to share with you. Every night during the gig he performs a parallel show behind the board and it's phenomenal to watch. Occasionally, I'll forget to sing because I'm watching him turn into Bez from Happy Mondays. But that's rock and roll for you. It keeps you young.” The Afghan Whigs’ previously announced European tour begins February 2nd in Dublin, IE at The Academy and ends on February 24th in Tel Aviv, ISR at Barby.

It gives us the voice and vision of a solitary, brilliant man in a constant tug-of-war with evil, as he imagines it — and as it still runs, though quieter now, in his veins.” [First Listen] - NPR Music “The resulting new Afghan Whigs album, Do to the Beast , proves a piece with the band's classic material — yet with fresh, unpredictable shadings that indicate its contemporary genesis.” - Rolling Stone "The deep soulfulness that always set Afghan Whigs apart from the pack was no mirage, and on Do to the Beast , it has matured with grace and power." [Album of the Week, 4/5] – MOJO "..Scavenging the darker corners of pop history to create something personal, vital, and urgent." - Pitchfork "Do to the Beast locks into the rhythm and soul undercarriage that always set the Whigs apart from its alt-rock-era brethren, and then turns off the lights, turns up the guitars and revels in the unsavory."
