Gnarls Barkley Coming Home In August
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We just got word that Atlanta’s own Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse — also known as the Grammy-winning dance-pop-soul duo that goes by Gnarls Barkley (above) — are playing their first hometown show since the release of their current CD, “The Odd Couple,” Aug. 11 at the Variety Playhouse.
The added bonus is that opening for the electric twosome is burgeoning Atlanta talent — and current Urb magazine cover model — Janelle Monae (above).
As close Atlanta Music Scene followers may know, Monae is an Antwan “Big Boi” Patton (of OutKast) discovery; and Boi and Cee-Lo are longtime members of our esteemed Dungeon Family (which among others includes Organized Noize, the other members of Cee-Lo’s Goodie Mob, Witchdoctor, Big Rube).
So this show has all of the making of a big Dungeon Family moment.
What do you think of Gnarls Barkley’s latest album? When is the last time you’ve seen members of OutKast, Goodie Mob and others all on one stage? Who in the Dungeon Family (some of whom are above, in 2001) do you think is underappreciated?
(Oh — and in case you don’t remember some of DF’s more notable members, reminisce with the Dungeon Family video for “Trans DF Express” BELOW:

Rarely has a “Recession” been this anticipated.
But with Atlanta rapper-entrepreneur Young Jeezy currently on his first Vibe cover, and another appearance on XXL heading to stands as this is typed, interest is only building in his September release, “The Recession.”
And now that its first single, “Put On,” featuring Kanye West, has rocketed to the Top 10 of Billboard’s rap and R&B/hip-hop charts, Young Jeezy has finally released a video this week.
Watch it BELOW, and give us your take.
And while we’re thinking Jeezy, see excerpts from his appearance at Hot-107.9’s most recent Birthday Bash, with Usher and West HERE.
