(PR) Great Northern's sweeping, cinematic pop will perfectly complement the dark, visceral rock of the acclaimed duo The Gutter Twins on a month-long tour that will criss-cross the U.S. and Canada this winter. The pairing will kick off March 1 at Bimbo's in San Francisco and is the first tour for The Gutter Twins, a collaboration between Greg Dulli (The Afghan Whigs, The Twilight Singers,) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age), who Pitchfork described as "two of alt-rock's greatest front-men." The jaunt is timed with the Los Angeles-based quartet's release of SLEEPY EEPEE, a five-track collection of unreleased songs recorded prior to their debut full-length, TRADING TWILIGHT FOR DAYLIGHT. The EP, filled with Rachel Stolte and Solon Bixler's signature intertwining male/female harmonies, will be made available digitally February 19, followed by a physical release March 18 on Eenie Meenie (Division Day, Scissors for Lefty).
Meanwhile, Great Northern's song "Home" is making its way to the screen. The lead radio track off the band's acclaimed LP will be featured in a Nissan commercial, debuting during Super Bowl XLII, February 3 as well as in the upcoming casino-heist film "21," starring Kevin Spacey and Lawrence Fishburne, hitting theaters March 28.
