GNARLS BARKLEY WINS TWO VMAs!
Gnarls Barkley, the chart-topping partnership of artists Danger Mouse
and Cee-Lo Green, has won big in MTV's 2008 Video Music Awards. The
video for "Run," a frenetic single from the acclaimed LP The Odd
Couple, is a winner for Best Choreography and Best Art Direction.
The video is designed by Kells Jesse, choreographed by Mike Rooney and
directed by the Google-proof duo Happy.
"Gnarls is an integrated media platform," said an unnamed spokesperson
for the band, "and we take our videos seriously as art. Whether you're
a musician or a choreographer, getting people to dance is a big deal.
We appreciate the acknowledgement."
Gnarls Barkley is known for its daring, innovative videos. Gnarls won
VMAs in 2006 ("Crazy," for Best Direction and Best Editing) and 2007
("Smiley Faces," for Best Editing). The video for "Gone Daddy Gone"
received a Grammy nomination.
Most recently, the band's video for "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" has
drawn controversy for its violent imagery.
