"With piranha teeths

I been dreaming of you

And the taste of your love so sweet

Honest its true."

Back in 2008 I caught the band The Gutter Twins live on a stage in Gothenburg. Until the show I had not spent a lot of time listening to The Gutter Twins but in my mind I was convinced that a band that consisted of Greg Dulli from The Afghan Whigs and Mark Lanegan Screaming Trees (among other bands) would be able to do a bad performance.

I was right; it was an amazing live performance. But even more amazing was the fact that Mark Lanegan hardly moved at all during the two and a half hour that The Gutter Twins spent on stage.

I am not sure if The Gutter Twins exists as a band anymore but I am glad to find out that Mark Lanegan has just released brand new material.

Mark Lanegan Band - The gravedigger's song is found on the record “Blues Funeral” released in 2012.
