“This is like a really overpaid dress rehearsal.”

April 10, 2008

Rocking pressed Big Band tuxedos and an even bigger band (two keyboards, percussion, organs, guitar, various beat machines), Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo Green tuned up for Gnarls’ upcoming world tour during a loose show at Highline Ballroom. “This is like a really overpaid dress rehearsal,” said Green between spastic-soul version of "Going On," “Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)” and “Gone Daddy Gone.” “But we deserve the money,” chimed the frontman with a wink and a smile, reminding of the $37 entry fee. Santogold opened. Big things to come for the genre-hopping singer from Brooklyn.
