FADER PREMIERE

If you ride the subway in New York, you'll be familiar with the weird and wonderful stuff that occasionally pops up to disturb the monotony of the morning rush—one year I saw a woman take a snake out of a box and feed it an indeterminable snack. While I'm still waiting for something to top that, a bunch of commuters were treated to front row seats of a performance by NYC dance crew W.A.F.F.L.E.—who you may recall also recently popped up in a FaltyDL clip—in the new video for reunited rockers The Afghan Whigs. Flipping moves to the math-rocky "Matamoros" from the band's first new album in 16 years, Do to the Beast, the crew turn the subway into their stage and underscore just how dance-y a song it is.
