Dead Man’s Bones, the duo comprised of actors Zach Shields and that Ryan Gosling have announced that they’ll be taking their monster mash bedroom pop to the road. Much of their self-titled debut full-length (out via Anti- on October 6th) features the vocal assistance of the Silverlake Conservatory Childrens Choir, a role on the road that will be filled by local childrens’ choirs in every city. Plus, what’s more, opening act duties will be eschewed every night in order to make room for a talent show. So not only do you get to see that hunky dude from the Notebook rock out a bit, you get kids singing creepy things and a talent show. There’s no downside. At all.
