The Gutter Twins is a musical collaboration from Los Angeles between rock musicians Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan.
Dulli and Lanegan have regularly contributed to each other’s projects since 2000; of the duo’s origins, Dulli said “I think Mark told a journalist we were doing it, and then the journalist called me, and I didn’t know we were doing it.” On Christmas Day 2003, Dulli and Lanegan began work on the collaboration, titled Saturnalia.
In July 2007, the music website Pitchfork Media announced that the duo, “two of the alt-rock era’s greatest frontmen,” had signed to Seattle label Sub Pop. Soon thereafter, Sub Pop reported a 4 March, 2008 release date for Saturnalia. Dulli and Lanegan plan to tour in the United States and abroad to promote the album.
On September 2, 2008, The Gutter Twins released their eight-song EP Adorata exclusively through iTunes. The EP was mostly recorded during sessions for their first album, Saturnalia. Adorata features two previously unreleased originals (“Spanish Doors” and “We Have Met Before”) alongside covers of “Down the Line” (José González), “
Deep Hit of Morning Sun” (Primal Scream), “Duchess” (Scott Walker), “Belles” (Vetiver), “Flow Like a River” (Eleven), and “St. James Infirmary” (traditional). A portion of the proceeds from the release of Adorata will go to the Natasha Shneider Memorial Fund. Shneider, a long-time friend of the band, was the lead singer for Eleven and a member of Queens of the Stone Age.

I would totally go gay for a threesome with Greg and Mark. Hopefully there is more Gutter Twins in the future. For now I look forward to new Twilight Singers and a new Lanegan solo album.

Greg Dulli is one of my favorite songwriters and performers of all time. Not surprising at all that Lanegan continues to work with him.They make beautiful music together. I'm grateful I got to see The Whigs live, albeit I was quite young at the time. Mr Dulli is a brilliant man! That goes for mr Lanegan aswell.

Just listened to Saturnalia and Adorata after a very long break and they blew me away all over again. So good. Hope Greg and Mark will record another album together.

I won one of the double passes from LifeMusicMedia!! (I was going already, but I have two very grateful friends). Miss Drivel you're absolutely right, he does write great music. Guess I'm just not a fan of his voice. All good. Looking forward to tonight :]

They were great in Copenhagen, but maybe a bit too reserved for my taste. They came, played the set, and left. Greg said "thanks" a few times. But, after all it was a good show and everything worked so well together. Talented guys!

There's nothing ordinary about Dulli. I'll tell you why Lanegan keeps working with him - because they're best friends, because they sound great together and because they make amazing music together. Dulli may not be the best singer in the world but he's a great musician, brilliant songwriter and a great performer. And yes, lot's of people like his voice, including me. He's a fuckin genius. So is Lanegan by the way, love them both :)

I love Mark Lanegan. I love The Gutter Twins. But Greg Dulli's voice I find to be pretty ordinary. Don't understand why Lanegan keeps working with him ? What does everyone else think? Does anyone really like Dulli's voice?

Dates keep appearing and disappearing and appearing again. It's all so strange, I've got a feeling this tour will be either crap or genius. Being an optimist (when it comes to Dulli) I vote for the latter.
