The Old Ceremony stands at the crossroads of the Beatles and the Bad Seeds. Literate, melodic, and insiduously catchy tunes played by a lush, orchestral pop band, with the jagged edges left in.

Discography
The Old Ceremony - (Self-Titled) LP (alyosha records, 2005)
The Old Ceremony - Our One Mistake LP (sonaBLAST records, 2006)
Led by Django Haskins (of International Orange, which was formed with Ben Folds Five bassist Robert Sledge), the band draws on some of the brightest talents of the Chapel Hill, NC area, and through extensive touring, TOC has built up a strong and loyal following throughout the east coast and beyond. They regularly pack Joe's Pub in NYC, IOTA in DC, and the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill, among other high-profile venues. They were selected as one of the "Eight Great Acts of the Triangle" by the Raleigh News Observer in Jan 2007, and their album Our One Mistake, was included in Paste Magazine's Top 100 Albums of 2006.
Our One Mistake, the new (second) record from The Old Ceremony, released on NYC indie label Sonablast Records in Oct 2006, is not your standard indie rock fare. You will hear no aimless one-chord hammering or ironic, self-referential sloganeering. Our One Mistake is the type is the type of record your curmudgeonly grandfather would love. With shades of Sinatra, Waits, Costello, Ben Folds, and Serge Gainsbourg, this is music for the after-daylight hours; songs to accompany late- night reveling and weary scotch-soaked epiphanies.
