"An Evening With Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan" Returns

April 23, 2008 – After their series of sold out shows in Europe and on the West Coast of America this past January & February, Sub Pop veterans Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan will bring their special intimate performances to South America, Australia and Europe this July.

Dulli and Lanegan’s upcoming shows in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Australia will be their first performances together in those countries since the release of The Gutter Twins debut album Saturnalia.  Guitarist/singer Dave Rosser will once again perform with the duo for all of the upcoming shows. Rosser’s indispensible talent was a key ingredient to the success of all of the previous shows and the three artists share a rare camaraderie on stage together.
“It was very exciting playing our songs this way so we jumped at the chance to run it back,” commented Dulli. “It's an honor to be asked to reprise the show especially by the South Americans, as none of us have been there before. We added a couple extra songs for the West Coast run and I'm sure we'll play a few we didn't last time.”

“An Evening With Greg Dulli & Mark Lanegan” will reach three contents beginning on July 1st in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Other highlights along the way include performances at The Cactus Festival in Bruges and the Royal Festival Hall in London.  The tour will conclude with a performance at this year’s Splendour in the Grass festival in Australia.

The Gutter Twins enjoyed a massively successful 2008 with the release of Saturnalia, and their follow up EP Adorata for Sub Pop Records.  It’s been a welcome homecoming to Sub Pop for both artists as Saturnalia was named by SPIN Magazine has one of the best albums of 2008.

Mark Lanegan rose to fame as singer for the much-loved Seattle band Screaming Trees and Greg Dulli as the magnetic leader of the Afghan Whigs. Following the break up of both groups, Lanegan and Dulli went on to achieve significant notice on their own. Lanegan continued to release successful solo albums, as well as create vivid partnerships with the likes of Belle & Sebastian singer Isobel Campbell and Queens of the Stone Age. Dulli, meanwhile, innovatively fused indie, soul and electronic sounds in his post-Whigs ensemble the Twilight Singers, who released their first album, Twilight As Played By The Twilight Singers, in 2000.  The most recent Twilight effort was 2006’s Powder Burns.

Beyond their tour this coming July, Greg Dulli has already begun work on a new Twilight Singers album, which he expects to release in 2010.  Mark Lanegan has an upcoming project with Soulsavers and will begin work on his first solo album in five years.

Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan have added 4 West Coast shows to their stripped down "Evening With" tour. They will be the final shows of the
tour.

February 10 West Hollywood CA at the Troubadour
February 11 San Francisco CA at the Independent
February 13 Portland OR at Doug Fir
February 15 Seattle WA at the Showbox

Opening the shows will be Happy Chichester except for Seattle which will be Shawn Smith as well as Happy Chichester.
Smith and Chichester collaborated with Dulli on the Twilight Singers debut, Twilight As Played by The Twilight Singers.

Following the conclusion of these dates Dulli will begin work on a new Twilight Singers album, while Lanegan has
an upcoming project with Soulsavers and will begin work on his first solo album in five years. This does not, however
spell the end of the Gutter Twins. "I see no reason why this can't go on indefinitely", says Lanegan of the project.
Said Dulli; "It's been one of the highlights of my musical life and I look forward to doing it again someday soon."
 

Sub Pop veterans Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan will return to Europe beginning January 15th 2009 for sixteen special intimate performances. Dulli and Lanegan along with guitarist Dave Rosser will perform a 'Stripped Down In The Gutter' set. By sheer virtue of the intimacy of the show, it will be unique, as neither Dulli nor Lanegan have toured in this capacity before.

"Since our instrumentation for this tour is going to be radically different, the shows will include many songs neither of us have performed in quite sometime or ever," Dulli commented.

"An Evening With Greg Dulli & Mark Lanegan" will kick off on January 15th in Glasgow at the Oran Mor and will run through February 2nd in Athens, Greece at Gagarin 205. Tickets will go on sale this Friday (November 14th) for all sixteen shows.

The Gutter Twins have had a massively successful year with the release of their debut album Saturnalia, and their follow up EP Adorata for Sub Pop Records. It's been a welcome homecoming to Sub Pop for both artists.

Mark Lanegan rose to fame as singer for the much-loved Seattle band Screaming Trees and Greg Dulli as the magnetic leader of the Afghan Whigs. Following the break up of both groups, Lanegan and Dulli went on to achieve significant notice on their own. Lanegan continued to release successful solo albums, as well as create vivid partnerships with the likes of Belle & Sebastian singer Isobel Campbell and Queens of the Stone Age.

Saturnalia is sure to make many 'Best Of 2008′ lists.

Following the conclusion of this tour, Dulli will begin work on a new Twilight Singers album; while Mark Lanegan has an upcoming project with Soulsavers and will begin work on his first solo album in five years.

Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan will release a brand new eight-song Gutter Twins EP titled Adorata exclusively through iTunes tomorrow Tuesday September 2nd.



Recorded mostly during the original sessions for their debut album Saturnalia, Adorata finds The Gutter Twins drawing material from a wide range of artists and capturing the energy and excitement of their live performances. The eight track EP includes: "Belles," (Vetiver), " Down The Line" (Jose Gonzales), "Deep Hit Of Morning Sun," (Primal Scream), "Flow Like A River," (Eleven), "St. James Infirmary," (Traditional) "Duchess," (Scott Walker), and two previously unreleased original Gutter Twins songs "Spanish Doors," and "We Have Met Before."



A portion of the proceeds from the release of Adorata will go to the Natasha Shneider Memorial Fund (www.natashashneider.org). Shneider, a long-time friend of the band, was the lead singer for Eleven and a member of Queens of the Stone Age.



The Gutter Twins, who are currently in the midst of their 2nd European tour, recently announced the addition of five U.S. dates this fall which will include a performance at this year's Voodoo Music Festival.

Deep Hit Of Morning Sun is a cover of the Primal Scream song from the forthcoming iTunes release, Adorata. It will feature covers and outtakes recorded during the various Saturnalia sessions and will be released at an indeterminate moon phase sometime in the near future.

Due to scheduling conflicts, we regret to announce that The Gutter Twins will be postponing/cancelling some of their upcoming U.S. dates in July. The seven shows from July 24th (Baltimore) to August 1st (Detroit) will not be taking place at this time. The band sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.

A new set of U.S. dates, following their performance at this year's Voodoo Music Festival in New Orleans in late October will be announced shortly. The band hopes to make up as many of the dates as possible during that time.

The shows in Los Angeles (July 10th), Seattle (July 12th) and at Lollapalooza (Aug 2nd) will take place as scheduled.
