Twilight Singers and Gutter Twins guitarist Dave Rosser will join The Afghan Whigs on their summer tour dates. Rosser broke the news on his blog yesterday:

As it turns out, the best way to avoid the sweltering hurricane-laden summer in New Orleans is to go on tour with your best friends around the world playing face-melting rock and roll. So, be seeing some of you sooner than anticipated.

The band will perform as a six-piece with original members Greg Dulli (vocals, guitar), Rick McCollum (guitar) and John Curley (bass) joined by Cully Symington (drums), Rick Nelson (keys, strings) and Rosser (guitar).
