Biography

On September 6, 2011, The Horrible Crowes (a side project of The Gaslight Anthem, made up of Ian Perkins and TGA founder Brian Fallon) released their debut album Elsie to critical acclaim. The album was produced by Ted Hutt, whose other production credits include legendary records by The Gaslight Anthem, Flogging Molly, The Bouncing Souls, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Dropkick Murphys, Violent Femmes and countless others. Following the release, Elsie debuted at #6 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart, #7 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart, and #4 on Billboard’s Top Tastemaker Albums chart. The record ended up on a number of “Best of 2011” lists. The Horrible Crowes only played two official shows to support this release, including a show at the iconic Troubadour in Los Angeles on September 14, 2011, which was captured on the band’s Live at the Troubadour release on SideOneDummy. “I can’t believe it’s been 10 years that Elsie’s existed," says Brian Fallon. "I still go back to this record even now and after ten years and many other albums that I’ve been a part of, I feel it’s one of my favorite and most proud achievements. Thank you all for your support of this album!” The 10 Year Anniversary of the album is available now on Spotify as well as on limited-edition gold and silver vinyl.
