Dead Man's Bones is a two-piece musical venture from actors Zach Shields and Ryan Gosling (swoon). The idea for the band started years ago when the two actors were living in the same house together&mdash;with Gosling dating Rachel McAdams and Shields dating her sister Kayleen. After first deciding to put together a sort of haunted musical production, the young men changed course, opting to form a band with a theatrical flair. As you'll see in the video above, these songs take on a whole new life (and level of creepiness) when sung by a children's choir dressed up in Halloween outfits. Gosling promises that when the band goes on tour there will be a new children's choir at each stop along the way.</p> <p> <script type="text/javascript">writeFlash({"src":"/swfs/audio-player.swf?url=http://media.splicetoday.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Music/Dead Man\'s Bones/dead-mans-bones-papers-ships-live-version-ryangoslingonlinecom.mp3","width":"420","height":"30"});</script> </p> <p class="photo-credit">"Paper Ships (live)"</p> <p>On a personal note: I was talking with friends over a year ago about the idea to make a compilation album of old acoustic soul and doo-wop songs about ghosts and ghouls and to then try to pitch it to Stones Throw Records as a legitimate artifact. Well it looks like Ryan Gosling beat me to it.</p> <p> <script type="text/javascript">writeFlash({"src":"/swfs/audio-player.swf?url=http://media.splicetoday.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Music/Dead Man\'s Bones/dead-mans-bones-for-weddings-and-funerals-ryangoslingonlinecom.mp3","width":"420","height":"30"});</script> </p> <p class="photo-credit">"For Weddings and Funerals"</p> Gabriel Baker Zach Shields, Ryan Gosling, hollywood indie rock, dead man's bones, movie films tar trivia the-feed 1 2009-02-17T13:38:17-05:00 <p>Two-piece act Dead Man's Bones brings some Hollywood into the indie rock mix.</p> 1 3753 just-add-flair 2009-02-17T13:41:28-05:00 true false false false false 2009-02-17T13:41:28-05:00 371 0
