Dead Man's Bones Looking For Circus Freaks

Are you a circus freak? If so, Ryan Gosling's Dead Man's Bones want you.

Gosling and his bandmate Zach Shields are looking for performers with "any kind of talent" (that apparently includes sword swallowing, tap dancing, impersonation or magic) to appear with them at shows on their upcoming fall tour.

"Hallowe'en-themed acts" will apparently be given "preferential treatment," according to a press release. Groups with more than four members or who have any kind of band equipment will not be considered.

Basically, they're trying to do a Dresden Dolls tour circa 2006.

If you think you or your act would be appropriate, send a video link to deadmansbones@anti.com or send DVD or VHS submissions to the following address:
