Afghan Whigs with Usher SXSW 2013

IN ENGLISH

The night’s headliners, boozy Ohioan underground legends the Afghan Whigs, were a few songs into a tough and grizzled set when Greg Dulli started singing Usher’s “Climax” and, a few seconds later, Usher himself was onstage next to the man, singing. For the rest of the half-hour set, the Afghan Whigs served as Usher’s backing band, doing atmospheric and bluesy versions of his songs while Usher showed off a million-dollar falsetto, brought out Sinkane to perform Ahmed’s “Runnin,” and a rapturous, disbelieving crowd absolutely lost its mind. High-quality video of the entire set is already online, and you can (and should) watch it below.
