Gnarls Barkley Is For The Children
Published by MTV News on Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 8:07 pm.

We started the third and final day of Lollapalooza with a toddler-friendly interview with Gnarls Barkley on the steps of the Kidzapalooza stage (in between sets from the Homemade Jamz Blues Band and the Jimmies, of course).

Cee-lo and Danger Mouse spoke about the mind-melting video for “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul,” and DM’s upcoming projects (sorta … “I’ve got stuff in the works, but nothing I wanna talk about,” he mumbled), but what they really wanted to discuss was the set by they had just witnessed by the aforementioned Homemade Jamz.

In fact, they were so impressed that they brought 9-year-old drummer Taya Perry — truly the finest mini kit-master in Tupelo, Mississippi — onto the stage to take part in the interview. Because, after all, Gnarls loves the kids.

“We’re here to show support and love to all of the many children that are here at the Lollapalooza festival,” Cee-lo smiled and interview’s end. “Good luck today, enjoy yourselves … You are the future. We love you.”

See, we told you.
