Warehouse Live presents The Twilight Singers. With Margot & the Nuclear So & So.

 From the ashes of the Afghan Whigs rose the Twilight Singers, helmed by legendary frontman and Whigs founder, Greg Dulli. Renowned for their untouchable live act, the band toured the world in 2003-4 and 2006-7, playing to packed houses.

“Whenever you?re here, you?re alive” are the first words sung on Dynamite Steps, the upcoming new album from Greg Dulli?s Twilight Singers collective. Dynamite Steps is the fifth Twilight Singers album, but the group?s first in five years: TS? previous release, the acclaimed confessional opus Powder Burns, came out in 2006. Dynamite Steps is clearly the next chapter, a whole new level of catharsis and progress, evocatively cramming all the highs and lows of the maverick singer-songwriter?s past half-decade into unexpected sonic trapdoors.

Indeed, Dynamite Steps explores the thin line between life and death, mortality and immortality, resignation and celebration—that mythical moment when your life flashes before your eyes, drawn out here over the course of eleven songs. The album?s forty three minutes prove an unflinching odyssey through the dark side, but one that?s ultimately redemptive in its scope and power.

“If you do unto others/You will die by your own hand…”
—Twilight Singers, “Never Seen No Devil”
