Twilight Singers - Teenage Wristband

Teenage Wristband



This is my favorite band of the past 5 or 6 years. If you aren't sure who The Twilight Singers are it is ok. It is never too late to enter the world of Greg Dulli. He was the singer for Afghan Whigs. Which is my all time favorite band ever! After Afghan Whigs disbanded in 2000 he created this band.

Dulli is a sleazy mastermind of the genre. He snakes in and out of songs like a shadow letting his smoking vocals and ever revolving cast of performers tell the stories you love to hear. His newest album "Powder Burns" is constantly being hailed as one of the best albums of 2006. Look it up if you don't believe me! Fans of Denis Leary's "Rescue Me" might recognize some of the songs because a couple of have been played at pivitol plot points in the show.

Lately the band has been joined by Mark Lanegan who you might remember from the late 80's and early 90's band Screaming Trees which he fronted. And later on he helped out with Queens of the Stone Age. With this video we have Dulli and the gang (including Steve Myers of Mighty Fine on backup) singing Teenage Wristband from their album Blackberry Belle.
