Small Sins, formerly The Ladies and Gentlemen, is the Toronto-based indie rock act of Thomas D'Arcy.
The project's studio recordings are mainly created by D'Arcy with the aid of synthesizers, and then performed on stage by the full band.
[1][2] D'Arcy then put together a band for live appearances consisting of Kevin Hilliard, Todor Kobakov, Steve Krecklo (also of The Carnations), and Brent Follett.
[3][4] For legal reasons, D'Arcy had to change the project name; he chose Small Sins, and the album was promoted under that name.
[10] The group then disbanded, and D'Arcy began recording and performing as a solo artist.
