Vancouver’s Boompa Records, in conjunction with the North By Northeast Music and Film Festival and with CBC’s Galaxie Music Network, are proud to announce that Toronto-based The Ladies and Gentlemen is the winner for the 5th annual Galaxie Rising Stars Award for 2005.

Despite the moniker, The Ladies and Gentlemen is actually the new solo project from Thomas D’Arcy (formerly of much-loved, much-missed melodic rockers The Carnations) who wrote, performed, and produced his debut album, Small Sins, on his own.

A sumptuous blend of upbeat pop and…

The whole crew has been shipped off to Toronto for the North by North East music festival and they brought along a taste of the best their stable has to offer. If you happen to be in the area and are looking to dance your ass off then by all means come on out to see one of these shows. You might even get to meet the Boompa team just look for them in the audience. They will be the…

A little over a year ago, Thomas D’Arcy quit his band which was called The Carnations.

Nestled in his basement, the solo project that would eventually become The Ladies and Gentlemenslowly took shape. Considering he is neither a lady, nor gentleman really, nor plural, we lay wide awake at night stymied as to how he came up with the name.

Boompa brought down Leeroy Stagger, The Salteens, Run Chico Run and The Ladies and Gentlemen to showcase at this years festival.

Aaron Wherry of the National Post “saw the future of rock n’ roll. It is the Ladies and Gentlemen.”

The Province’s Stuart Derdeyn was at…

The latest project from former Carnations frontman Thom D’Arcy, The Ladies and Gentlemen (“Canada’s answer to Grandaddy” Popmatters.com) will be kicking it off at 10PM followed…
