Gnarls Barkley & other upcoming shows @ the Apple Store

Gnarls Barkley with the first iBook
Gnarls Barkley

Performances at Apple Store, SoHo include:
- Wyclef Jean, June 9th
- Gnarls Barkley, June 10th
- Mike Phillips, June 13th
- Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, June 18th
- Vaughn Anthony, June 20th
- Talib Kweli, June 25th
Most of those are in honor of Black Music Month. The Gnarls Barkley one is just because Gnarls Barkley only like to play weird or corporate shows. Their (second) MySpace show with Battles is this Sunday. They play the "SoCo Music Experience" in Denver on June 28th. They play the Roots Picnic (not corporate) this Saturday in Philly. They play other places too.

Wyclef is also playing Summerstage with Jill Scott.

Talib Kweli is also playing a benefit.

APPLE STORE IN SOHO TO GET AN ADVANCE PERFORMANCE OF THE UPCOMING PLANNED GNARLS BARKLEY STRIPPED DOWN SHOWS!

GNARLS TO PERFORM AT APPLE STORE SOHO TUESDAY JUNE 10, 2008 AT 7PM


According to Gnarlsbarkley.com, the band's official website, Gnarls Barkley has scheduled "The June Residency Series," a set of intimate shows in London and Paris, for June 12-18. The shows will feature a core lineup of artist/producer Danger Mouse, vocalist Cee-Lo, and multi-instrumentalist Josh Klinghoffer, playing rare minimalist versions of popular Gnarls songs. A few close associates of Gnarls may make surprise guest appearances. Attendance will be limited.

"Before we get into our summer festival schedule, we wanted to get closer to our biggest fans," said a spokesperson for Gnarls. "When Gnarls plays live, they usually go full-tilt, with costumes and sometimes even spaceships. These performances will expose all the nerves and heart behind that, and reveal the essence of the songs."
