FOLLOW UP TO OH MY GOD, CHARLIE DARWIN OUT FEBRUARY 22

On February 22, The Low
Anthem will release Smart Flesh, the self-produced follow up to their critically lauded

Providence garage, dubbed the “gator pit.” Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk) mixed the record in Omaha
with additional mixing by engineer Jesse Lauter (Elvis Perkins) in New York. The Low Anthem is four multi-
instrumentalists – Ben Knox Miller, Jeff Prystowsky, Jocie Adams, and newest member Mat

2011 SHOWS BEGIN IN CLEVELAND IN JANUARY

“Mr. Gillis aims to please. His music is a collage of hits, recent and old, that are instantly recognizable to just about everyone in the crowd. Each one – from Jay-Z to Styx to the Ramones to Missy Elliott to Nirvana – draws a cheer within a few notes. Mr. Gillis samples the songs’ obvious hooks. He isn’t a hipster showing off how deeply he’s dug into his collection; he’s a fellow fan, reactivating remembered pop pleasures.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times

With almost 300 shows under his belt, and hardly a full week off, since Feed The Animals was released in June 2008 and Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) has announced another 40-city tour, all set to take place in 2011 before March is even over!
