Biography

A soul-influenced alternative/indie rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, the Afghan Whigs were formed in 1986 by vocalist/guitarist [a=Greg Dulli], guitarist [a=Rick McCollum], bassist [a=John Curley] and drummer [a=Steve Earle (2)]. After releasing 6 LPs, a number of singles and EPs and a couple of drummers ([a=Paul Buchignani] and [a=Michael Horrigan]), the group disbanded in February of 2001, temporarily reforming (with Horrigan as drummer) in 2006 to record two new tracks for a best-of compilation. In December of 2011, the core group of Dulli, McCollum and Curley announced its reformation to play a number of 2012 concert and festival dates, augmented by touring members [a=Cully Symington], [a=David Rosser] and [a=Rick Nelson (3)].

LYRICS

Jean content
He wake up everyday
In a government yard
Deep down inside citi soleil
Roll some bones and catch a fire
Evil minds, they will conspire
The moon to lose its light
The stars sink into night
Across the town
A young girl plays guitar
"do you remember me?" she sings to a lover
She worships from afar
Roll some bones and catch a fire
Evil minds, they will expire

The moon to shine a light
Upon us all tonight

Ooh child, i'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies, and no cryin'
It's alright

"how you like me now?"
My friend, he say
"how you like the madness of citi soleil?"
Roll the bones and catch a fire
Join the triumph of the choir
Citi soleil, citi soleil
I love to say citi soleil
