In an interview with The Quietus, Greg Dulli talked about how the Afghan Whigs' reunion came about: Dulli is curating the 2012 festivals All Tomorrow's Parties/I'll Be Your Mirror and planned headliner Guided By Voices had a scheduling conflict, leading to Afghan Whigs' reorganizing and throwing themselves back in action. So far, the band has announced four live shows, but Dulli told The Quietus that there will likely be more:
"We’ll see. I’m imagining we’ll play more than four gigs. We’ll probably play 25-30 gigs, would be my guess. We’ve got five gigs now, and we’ll play at least another 20 gigs, I would imagine."
Oh, and as for new music? Forget about it:
"We never broke up the band for any reason other than we’d taken the band as far as we wanted to take it. We aren’t getting back together to make a new album. We’re doing this one time: see it now, or never see it again. That’s what’s going to happen here."
