Ryan Gosling’s Dead Man Bones launches casting call for talent
September 17th, 2009
Canada loves Ryan Gosling. So, we’re likely gonna love his new band Dead Man’s Bones when their album drops on October 6th.
Well, there’s another reason to love them. The band are looking for entertainers to join their circus. If you have a secret talent or talent you flaunt regularly, Gosling and bandmate Zach Shields want you to take part in their show. Here is what they’re looking for…
Are you a Sword Swallower? Tap Dancer? Magician? Impersonator? Holder of unique trick or talent?
Dead Man’s Bones, the duo consisting of Zach Shields and Ryan Gosling, also intend to clue locals into homegrown talent in their own cities by hosting talent shows at stops along their tour rather than traditional music opening acts.
As of today there is an open casting call for performers to participate. Each talent show is to consist of 5-8 slots, open to performers of all ages and any kind of talent. These are not to be a contest , but rather a good natured showcase for people to display their natural talents. Halloween-themed acts will be given preferential treatment. Sword swollers, tap dancers, magicians, impersonators, kid bands, and anyone with an talent of any kind to display is eagerly invited to perform.
Due to the extravagant nature of the Dead Man’s Bones stage show, there will be no opportunity for soundchecks, and no groups requiring full band equipment or consisting of more than four members will be considered.
