Greg Dulli's cover band
During the 1990s, my friend Greg Dulli was the singer for the Afghan Whigs. His current ensemble, the Twilight Singers, has released three exquisite albums including, most recently, an amazing all-covers record called She Loves You. Greg has always drawn inspiration from old soul and R&B and now he's put together a new band, Uptown Lights, just to play his favorite tunes.
"Formed primarily to throw house parties in their hometown while they work on their respective individual projects, Uptown Lights revisits the days of dressing uptown and throwing downtown. Armed with a setlist featuring the songs of their heroes, like O.V. Wright, Joe Tex, the Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding and many, many more, this show is not to be missed..."The first gig is February 19 in Los Angeles. No tour is planned yet, but they promise to post occasional live MP3s. Black out the windows, it's party time. Link (via Summer's Kiss)
