Following a deal with Anti-, an upcoming album and North American tour, Dead Man’s Bones are kicking their promotion machine into high gear. However, they’re not exactly going about it in typical fashion, at least not on the live front.
First, the project helmed by actors Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields announced that each of their tour stops would feature local children’s choirs and talent shows, and now the guys have revealed that they’re also doing a residency at a puppet theatre. Yep, a puppet theatre.
In September, Dead Man’s Bones will be doing three guaranteed-to-be-special shows at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater in L.A. According to the press release, “The residency will showcase a unique collaboration between the theater and the band. The band scored and directed these performances, and will be providing the soundtrack to an unusual and remarkable spectacle.”
The trio of dates at the theatre — on September 11, 18 and 25 — will feature the band and the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir, who also contributed to the Dead Man’s Bones album, as well as a lot of puppets, of course.
There is no word if Dead Man’s Bones have plans to set up a similar residency in Canada but they are playing several dates in the Great White North, including Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. (A full list of dates can be found here.)
As for that record, it’s due out October 6 via Anti-.

Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields are set to bring their band Dead Man’s Bones on its very first tour this October.
Pitchfork reports, “The actor/musician duo will bring the songs from their band’s self-title debut album to life with the help of a local choir in each of the twelve spots they’re hitting. Their album was recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir but they can’t bring all those kids on the road with them. Hence, a new group in every city.”
The opening act for the shows will be a talent show, organized by the band and featuring local talent in each city. Amazing! Check out the tour promo video below. It’s almost exactly like one of those videos you watch before you enter a haunted mansion at an amusement park!

Back in January, we introduced you to Dead Man’s Bones, the goth-folk collaboration between actors Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields. Since then, only two of their charming, creepy songs have been made public, via a pair of self-created videos: “Name in Stone” and “In the Room Where You Sleep”. Finally, this fall, everyone will get to hear more. On October 6, Anti- will release Dead Man’s Bones’ self-titled debut album. (It was previously titled Never Let a Lack of Talent Get You Down.)
In our interview with Gosling and Shields, the pair discussed the creation of the album, which was recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir, a group of Los Angeles-area kids ranging in age from five to 17. Gosling described the motivation behind the album’s aesthetic: “You know when you’re a kid and you get crayons and papers and just draw whatever you want and it’s just a bunch of messy lines, but to you it makes sense, and then they put it on the fridge? From that point on, you’re always trying to get back on the fridge, you start drawing things that look like something, like, the more it looks like a horse, the more chance you have of getting it on the fridge. We wanted to get back to that place before we were trying to make the fridge. We wanted to work with people who hadn’t been affected in that way yet.”
