Ghostboy with
Golden Virtues (GBGV) are a Queensland-based avant-garde art rock brutes, nominated
for Best Cabaret Ensemble for the Green Room Awards 2010. Delighting audience
with their mix of Cabaret and indie performance, GBGV released their debut album
'Enter' earlier this year and are set to launch the second single 'Love Me' which
includes the Faith No More-esque 'My Cerulean Heart Breaker Remix.' To celebrate
the release of the single and brand spanking new music video (see link below),
the twisted seven-piece collective are coming to Sydney for the first time to
show us what all the fuss is about.
Flanked by multi instrumentalist
chanteuses Skye Staniford & Hannah Jane, spoken artist & vocalist Ghostboy
delivers his special blend of antagonism & sensuality with precise, almost
sadistic delight. GBGV's pants-off-punk-kabaret-músik is not for the faint
hearted. These underground creatures seduce audiences direct into a world of Berlin-style
rock 'n' roll debauchery. Comparisons have been made to Nick Cave, The Tiger Lillies
and Alice Cooper.
Infamous for their exploding live shows -
drawing on elements of performance art rock & experimental cabaret. GBGV have
(dis)graced stages to critics acclaim in recent years at Woodford Folk, Byron
Bay Writers, Melbourne Fringe Festival Hub and Brisbane Cabaret festivals as well
as Brisbane venues. They have previously supported the likes of Chris Bailey (The
Saints), Mojo Juju and Juke Baritone. 2010 will see the band perform at Byron
Bay Writers Festival (Buddha Bar), Sydney Fringe Festival, The Judith Wright Centre
(Brisbane) as well as being a featured artist of the Boho Ball, a national touring
circuit.
