Afghan Whigs debut new single & video, announce tour


Afghan Whigs premiered a sultry new song titled "Algiers" - the track serves as the first single from Do To The Beast, the band's first new album in 16 years.  Do To The Beast arrives April 15th and is available to pre-order through SubPop, iTunes, and Amazon (bonus: SubPop's store is offering the "Loser Edition" pressed on white vinyl while supplies last).

Watch Greg Dulli wreak havoc in the western themed video for "Algiers" below.  The video was filmed in Agua Dulce, just northeast of Santa Clarita, California.
