GNARLS BARKLEY RELEASES LIMITED EDITION HOLIDAY PACKAGE 3-D CD + DVD FEATURES EXCLUSIVE AUDIO + VIDEOS
Preparing Arena Tour With RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS And New Years Shows With The FLAMING LIPS
Gnarls Barkley has unveiled details of their upcoming limited edition re-release of the phenomenal debut album, ST. ELSEWHERE. Due in stores on Tuesday, November 7th, the special CD+DVD package compiles the platinum-certified, genre-defying collection in its entirety, along with an exciting assortment of exclusive extras and mind-blowing bonus features.
Bound in a deluxe o-card adorned with a 3-D lenticular rendition of the album art, the new ST. ELSEWHERE package will come with an all-new 92-page booklet (yes, you read that right...92 pages!), featuring greatly expanded artwork including a special flip book with images from the classic 'Crazy' video.
Inside, the ST. ELSEWHERE DVD collects four of Gnarls' astonishing music videos, including the companion clips for 'Crazy,' 'Smiley Faces,' and the current single, 'Gone Daddy Gone.' What's more, the DVD features the never-before-seen video for the album's roof-raising opening track, 'Go Go Gadget Gospel.'
The extras continue with a pair of live audio tracks from UK TV: an alternative version of 'Crazy' from Gnarls' April 16th appearance on Top of the Pops, and 'Gone Daddy Gone,' performed live on Later with Jools Holland this past May 19th.
Currently gracing the cover of Spin's November issue, Gnarls recently announced plans to celebrate the New Year by accompanying the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the next leg of their ongoing US tour. The dates - which will be officially announced sometime in the coming weeks - will begin in January and then traverse the country through mid-March.
But first, Gnarls - the combination of groundbreaking artist and notorious sound architect Danger Mouse (Grammy-winning producer of Gorillaz Demon Days, producer of the Grey Album) and the psychologically complex Grammy nominated vocalist Cee-Lo Green - are slated for a series of European live dates, touching down in France, Ireland, and the UK through early November. Upon their return to these shores, Gnarls will perform at Miami's Bicentennial Park as a highlight of the Bang! Music Festival on November 11th. On December 8th, they'll hit Sacramento's ARCO Arena for a set at KWOD's annual 'Twisted Xmas' extravaganza. They'll close out their extraordinary 2006 on December 30th at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium with an eagerly awaited co-headline show alongside the one-and-only Flaming Lips.
The 'Crazy' companion video recently took home a pair of prestigious MTV Video Music Awards, receiving the honors for "Best Direction in a Video" and "Best Editing in a Video." In addition, Gnarls and "Crazy" just picked up the "Left Field Woodie" trophy at the mtvU Woodie Awards 2006 ceremonies at New York's Roseland Ballroom. The event will be broadcast next Thursday 11/2 on mtvU and a highlights special will air on MTV on 11/4 at 10pm and on MTV2 on 11/5 at 11pm.
Gnarls' latest video, for their irresistible rethink of the Violent Femmes classic, "Gone Daddy Gone," has now begun receiving play across the music TV spectrum.
Gnarls Barkley certainly ranks among this year's most entertaining and visually inventive live acts, having performed sold-out headline dates and show-stealing festival appearances around the world. In addition, the duo has made unforgettable appearances on such high-profile TV shows as the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and the 2006 MTV Movie Awards (who can forget Chewbacca on drums?).
Not just a massive popular triumph, ST. ELSEWHERE has also drawn unanimous critical hosannas. Rolling Stone waxed effusive (and alliterative) about the "delightfully deranged duo" and their "forward-thinking funhouse funk," while Entertainment Weekly gave ST. ELSEWHERE an "A," going on to commend it as "an album that blends hefty soul shouting, swirly techno, and creepy-crawly hip-hop... perfection is achieved."
"One of the year's most intriguing new arrivals," raved the L.A. Times, calling it "the record Marvin Gaye might have made if he had come of age in an era of digital samplers," while L.A. Weekly hailed it as "2006's first sure-thing."
