NEW YORK (Atlantic Records) - Energized by the success of their fiery set at London's O2 Wireless Festival this past weekend, recording marvels
Gnarls Barkley are pleased to announce a host of new U.S. tour dates.
The group's acclaimed debut album, ST. ELSEWHERE, broke into Billboard's Top 200 at No 8, selling over 337,000 copies in just over 6 weeks. The album remains No 1 in digital sales.
Gnarls Barkley is often represented by the groundbreaking and notorious sound architect Danger Mouse (Grammy-winning producer for Gorillaz, The Grey Album, et al) and psychologically complex vocalist Cee-Lo (founding member of the Atlanta hip hop crew Goodie Mob).
The intriguing duo will kick off their U.S. Summer tour with two night stands at The Fillmore in San Francisco on July 18th/19th and the Avalon in Los Angeles on July 23rd/24th. Both shows sold out in a matter of hours. In addition, they have added stops in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston and New York City. Gnarls Barkley is also set to perform live at two upcoming U.S. festivals - Chicago's Lollapalooza on August 5th, and the Austin City Limits Festival on September 15th.
Gnarls will also be performing at renowned international festivals including Japan's Fuji Rock and Switzerland's Montreux Jazz.
Gnarls Barkley will be back on the small screen August 14th with an appearance on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman where they are expected to gratify fans with another galvanizing performance of their hit single 'Crazy.'
