This is a must for anybody who liked The Screaming Trees and Afghan Whigs - both being bands that were active in but never acheived the recognition they deserved in the Grunge movement of the early nineties. Greg Dulli (The Whigs) and Mark Lanegan (The Trees) teamed up to release an album called Saturnalia which I feel rivals their earlier work. This is a video I with forethought of intention nicked from another Youtube devotee (sorry Drivel1). If this is the first time you have come across these two then I would recommend that you listen to the Afghan Whigs album 'Gentlemen' and the Screaming Trees album 'Sweet Oblivion'. Both albums follow the grunge treadmill of angst and anger (is that a tautology?) but I personally think that they have greater gravitas than their more popular counterparts. Also check out Deus Ibi Est by Lanegan and Isobel Campbell. Incidentally, the cellist on this track is the South African Simone Vitucci who was also a performer with the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra... just thought you should know.

  • Ditto and agreed godbluff - we haveto look accross the pond... damn our culture and society. british music is dead.

  • Probably a bit harsher than I intended. But nonetheless, there is a lack of artistic get up and go in the UK. We keep on harking back to old glories, but where are the new Lydons, Strummers, Hammills, Morrisseys, Curtis' and so on?

    Mind you there is always iLiKETRAiNS...

  • Thanks for adding this. Just wonderful.

  • Thanks for the comment QueenConsternation (and Progorama and vedder12 as well). Once again, it seeems, us Brits must look across the Atlantic for inspired music.

    I must say that Mr Dulli looks pretty much the same as he did 15 years ago - but Mr Lanegan? Almost unrecognisable, until the deep timbre of his voice rolls into the song, that is.

  • Much appreciated, thanks for the referrals. I only recently got into The Gutter Twins and stoked to check out the other bands listed.

  • Holy cow....this sounds like a rock version of modern cRap.

  • mark looks kinda like will farrel

  • i agree with both, i feel i'm definatly losing faith with the british music scene at the moment. It seems anyone who has a bad perm, went to art college and knows 4 guitar chords can get signed at the moment.

  • Absolutly Amazing

  • It's such a great song!
