New York, NY. (Atlantic Records) -
Gnarls Barkley has unveiled details of their upcoming limited edition re-release of the phenomenal debut album, ST. ELSEWHERE (Downtown/Atlantic). 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.
