Ghostboy With Golden Virtues

February 8th, 2010 — 2:18am

In the past few weeks, I’ve been shooting like crazy, trying to enhance my portfolio with some new images to help refine my style, that said recently I had the pleasure of shooting Ghostboy With Golden Virtues.

Ghostboy with Golden Virtues (GBGV) are avant-garde art rock brutes!

Flanked by multi instrumentalist chanteuses Skye Staniford & Hannah Jane, acclaimed spoken ‘weird’ artist & vocalist Ghostboy delivers his special blend of antagonism & sensuality with precise, almost sadistic delight. Dark horses Robbie Zawada, Paul Daly & Dan McNaulty (from We All Want To) round out the sound with electric guitars, bass, violin & drums; tap-dancing minx Loren Skyring sprinkles the voodoo dust on the edges.

GBGV 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. Infamous for their exploding live shows – drawing on elements of performance art rock & experimental cabaret – GBGV have graced stages to critics acclaim in recent years at Woodford Folk, Byron Bay Writers, Melbourne Fringe Festival Hub & Brisbane Cabaret festivals as well as around Brisbane @ venues such as the Zoo, The Hi-Fi, The Tivoli, & The Globe.

Their debut album ENTER features songs co-written by the unique pairing of spoken weird singer Ghostboy and singer/band leader Skye Staniford. ENTER includes the erotic duende of lead single “Wolfish” – which has received multiple airplay on rage and Triple J – as well as 2nd single Love Me .

You can find their music here

Their album ‘Enter’ has the official launch on the 27th of Feb at the Hi-Fi Bar in Brisbane. I suggest you come along, young and old, it’s an event not to miss!! Info here

A big thanks to The Troubadour for allowing us to use the venue.
I’ll let the photos do the talking!
