GREG DULLI TO EMBARK ON FIRST EVER SOLO TOUR
‘An Evening With Greg Dulli’ 29-City Acoustic Tour Makes Stops In Five Countries

Seattle, WA – For the first time in his career, Greg Dulli will embark on a solo tour which will see him make stops in five different countries for a total of 29 shows. Beginning in New Orleans on October 8th, ‘An Evening With Greg Dulli’ will feature Greg along with long-time Twilight Singers guitarist Dave Rosser and multi-instrumentalist Rick Nelson (Polyphonic Spree) performing a stripped down set. Dulli will lead his band through a wide selection of songs encompassing his entire career. ‘An Evening With Greg Dulli’ will be a limited run tour with only fourteen US shows along with stops in Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Belgium. Dates and on sale information provided below.
These shows will also mark the debut of several brand new songs from the forthcoming Twilight Singers album scheduled for release on Sub Pop Records in early 2011. The new Twilight Singers album will be the first release from the group in five years. More details on the new album will be announced later this year.
Greg Dulli began his musical career as the frontman and guitarist for the pioneering band The Afghan Whigs in 1987. The band was praised by critics and fans alike, releasing six studio albums before disbanding in the late 90’s. Dulli went on to form The Twilight Singers, known for their indie, soul and electronic sound. The Twilight Singers have released four albums including the critically lauded Blackberry Belle & Powder Burns (One Little Indian) in 2003 & 2006 respectively. In 2008, Dulli collaborated with close friend Mark Lanegan to form The Gutter Twins. Their debut release, Saturnalia (Sub Pop), was chosen by SPIN as one of the top albums of 2008.

I know about this. I'll be taping Dublin and Belfast, and possibly Galway and Cork. I have that whole week off, and nothing on, and I'll get a guestlist for them all except Belfast, so I may as well. I'll go to Belfast with some friends from there, though. I may skip Galway though-it's quite a hike from Belfast to Galway in a day.

Pittsburgh was amazing. The venue was tiny, the upstairs floor of a bar. there was no backstage so greg, dave and rick walked though the crowd to get onstage...anyway, i was literally 5 feet from them. The show was just great...I loved how prominent the violin was. The Killer opened the show, St Gregory was second, King Only was played third in the set, and 66 and Uptown Again were both played. The section of The Lure => Bonnie Brae => Let Me Lie to You was transcendent, but then again so was Step into the Light => If I Were Going => Summer's Kiss. And, uh...so was Candy Cane Crawl => Teenage Wristband => Twilite Kid. Clearly, I was into the whole thing.
Just a great night...lots of funny banter too as usual. And uh..if anybody wants a link to the live cd that's being sold at this tour (its a recording of the first date in New Orleans), send me a pm.

I attended both Dublin and Belfast shows. Dublin was an hour and 40 minutes, and Belfast was 80 minutes. Whelan's was superior. Both shows were good though. I don't think I've ever been to a show where there was no amps on stage. All the instruments were just plugged straight into the desk, I think. Dulli broke a string in Dublin, and had to get the merch guy at the back of the room to change it, which involved passing the guitar back through the audience to the merch stand. Setlists were great.

Psycho, is this a statement of fact, or are you making fun of me for being a taper? I don't mind if you are. I've been taping gigs since 1998-I ain't fucking likely to stop now! I don't come here much anymore, but it's good to see you keeping the flame of new music alive, friend. x.

Amen. I try to tape all the gigs I can. Tapers rule. I don't have any good mics though. I just use the internal stereo mics on my R09. I can't afford battery boxes, thousand dollar mics, and all the other little things some people swear by!
