Ghost Bees

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ghost Bees are a Canadian indie pop band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, consisting of twin sisters Sari and Romy Lightman. Although not an official member, instrumentalist Amber Phelps Bondaroff also works closely with and tours with the duo.

Born and raised in Toronto, the Lightman twins moved to Halifax to attend university and began performing there.[1]

The duo's debut album, Tasseomancy, was released on April 8, 2008. Its cover is a photograph of the duo's great-great grandmother Clara Chernos, a Russian Jewish tea-leaf reader who moved to Canada in the 19th century during the Russian pogroms.[2] The duo began a national tour to support the album on April 19, 2008 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island after a CD launch party in Halifax. The album's lead single, "Sinai", has been placed in rotation on CBC Radio 3.
