The Ladies & Gentlemen Win NXNE/CBC Galaxie Rising Stars Award

The Ladies & Gentlemen were presented with the 5th Annual Galaxie Rising Stars Award for 2005 from the North By Northeast Music and Film Festival (NXNE), in conjunction with CBC's Galaxie Music Network.

The Ladies & Gentlemen is a new solo project from Thomas D'Arcy, formerly known as The Carnations. Thomas D'Arcy wrote, performed, and produced his debut album, Small Sins, which is a sumptuous blend of upbeat and introspective lyrical themes.

Now, The Ladies & Gentlemen are a full-fledged band and D'Arcy received a cheque for $3,000 on Friday June 10, 2005, after his performance during NXNE at The Rivoli in Toronto.

The Galaxie Rising Stars Award is a tradition for NXNE, which seeks to recognize emerging homegrown talent. The award is given to one Canadian artist or band at NXNE, who is thought to be the most likely to succeed amongst all domestic participants at the festival.

A jury of knowledgeable music industry personalities chose D'Arcy for the award from hundreds of performers.

Congratulations to The Ladies & Gentlemen.
