Ryan Gosling's Dead Man's Bones Announce North American Tour, Play Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver

BY Josiah HughesPublished Aug 24, 2009

As we already knew, Dead Man's Bones, the insanely interesting recording project of actors Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields, signed with Anti- earlier this summer for the release of their debut album. Now, we know that the band's self-titled debut will be out this October, and we've got the full tracklisting.

But that's not all. The band have also announced a string of North American tour dates this fall, with Canadian stops in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. To make things even cooler, the five-piece will be performing with a local children's choir in each city.

Dead Man's Bones' debut album will be out on October 6 via Anti-. As the label explains, the record is "a striking collection of doo-wop songs about werewolves, haunting melodies telling tales of zombies with broken hearts, and children singing the joys and pains of being alive or being dead."

A track from the album called "My Body's a Zombie for You" was recently featured in our Click Hear column and can be streamed here.
