Greg Dulli has an interesting album coming out which he has posted about on the Twilight Singers myspace blog. Recorded in-between Dulli’s tour with the Twilight Singers and The Gutter Twins, he put on a benefit show for local music and arts center in Seatle, WA. You can read the details below, but in brief, since he was in-between groups he decided to improvise by assembling a diverse group of musicians to play his songs acoustically.

Live At Triple Door

October 14, 2008 – It was October of last year when Greg Dulli was asked to perform a benefit show for The Vera Project (a local music-arts center run by and for youth) in Seattle, WA. At the time, Dulli was in-between projects. His band, The Twilight Singers were on hiatus after a full year of touring, while his new project with Mark Lanegan, The Gutter Twins, wasn’t quite ready to be unveiled to the general public.
Rather than pass on the offer, he decided to improvise. Dulli assembled an eclectic collection of musicians including Petra Haden, Shawn Smith, Jeff Klein and Barb Antonio to reinterpret and recreate acoustically, some of his finest material over a two-night stand at the intimate Triple Door Theatre in downtown Seattle.

The highlights from these shows will now finally be released worldwide digitally as Live At Triple Door on October 28th on Dulli’s own Infernal Recordings label.

Performing a stripped down and subdued set, Dulli leads his band through a selection of Twilight Singers songs such as “King Only” and “Candy Cane Crawl,” a brand new (at the time) Gutter Twins song “Front Street” along with a mix of covers, including his first live version of Jose Gonzalez’s “Down The Line”. For a man that’s been known for his live performances, this release is shockingly the first ever full live album of Greg Dulli’s illustrious career.

Dulli’s current project, The Gutter Twins will be performing at this year’s Voodoo Music Festival in New Orleans on October 24th and the band be returning to the East Coast of the U.S. for four shows in early November (Philly, Brooklyn, D.C. and Boston).
