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:

The DF is very much under appreciated. These are the gentlemen that put the “dirty” in Dirty South. Big fan of the entire DF especially Outkast and Cee Lo Green. I will be in attendance. The Monster in the Closet.

This crew gave Atlanta it’s swag that soon took over the world of hip hop and blazed roads for future Atlanta artists. They all are true MC’s and I wish Goodie MOB would get back together and do another album because the game is hurting for some real music. I just heard another song featuring Andre 3-stacks from my cuz Fonzworth Bentley called Everybody and it’s quite a surprise for the rest of the world. Cuz can spit. I guess Aunt Lucy did teach him something. DF Generation #1 are trail blazers that are truly underrated. Go back to the first album “Soul Food” and listen to Goodie Bags and listen to how they all rip it!
