The Old Ceremony on the Half Shell
The Old Ceremony is a pop-noir musical association from Chapel Hill, NC figureheaded by songwriter/raconteur Django Haskins (International Orange, Django & the Regulars). The Old Ceremony includes pianist James Wallace, bassist Matt Brandau (Sankofa, Remix Project), drummer Dan Hall (Countdown Quartet), vibes/organist Mark Simonsen (Jackie O. Pillbox), Violinists Gabriele Pelli and Daniel Hart, Jil Christensen on accordion, and cellist Josh Starmer. They are joined by a rotating cast of musical luminaries which have included Vamsi Tadepalli on sax, Will Caviness on trumpet, and Harmony Keeney on vocals.
Inspired by the Great American Songbook (and its finest interpreters such as Sinatra and Chet Baker), as well as the theatricality of Tom Waits, Serge Gainesbourg, Astor Piazzolla and Nick Cave, The Old Ceremony creates their own shoebox panorama of a world of paper palm trees, unsolved mysteries and unopened air mail. It is distinctly American and faintly exotic.
"Moody and very fine old-world pop." - Raleigh News Observer
"Whether he be the acoustic singer/songwriter, the focal point of cabaret pop-noir group The Old Ceremony, or the punchy power popper with International Orange, [Django Haskins] is a pop stylist, with a quick lyrical wit and a card shark''s finesse in delivering a hook." - Independent Weekly
