Ghost Ghost http://www.ghostghost.net/blog NYC indie rock group. We read a lot and we're curious about everything. Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:02:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Interviewed by The Deli http://www.ghostghost.net/blog/2011/interviewed-by-the-deli http://www.ghostghost.net/blog/2011/interviewed-by-the-deli#comments Thu, 20 Oct 2011 11:28:19 +0000 karl http://www.ghostghost.net/blog/?p=1380 We were interviewed by The Deli Magazine, and we appear in their latest paper issue as well. You can read the interview here, and download the digital version of the magazine here.  An excerpt:

Ghost Ghost’s most recent release, No Clothes on Ragged Island, is a concept album about the life of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, recorded in one day, the soothing guitar work and earnestly sweet vocals belie the ominous lyrics. Tragedy and heartbreak lurk around every corner, and, it seems to Ghost Ghost, the best thing to do is keep a shaking smile on their lips as they tread out into the unknown darkness.

This pressing is limited to 100 multicolored copies wrapped in signed, handmade sleeves. But what does this have to do with knee-high socks? We’re performing at The Deli Magazine showcase in NYC’s biggest music festival, the CMJ Music Marathon! We were born to run, and more importantly, born to wear neon headbands and running shorts. Facebook event here.

We dug deep into the Ghost Ghost archives to find this archival footage of the 1930s animated starlet… Here it is, Ms. Boop in “Bizarre Love Triangle.”

Read the feature on The Deli blog.

I know all this because I woke up omnipresent, again. It’s a great day for a rock show.

Tonight, Ghost Ghost performs at Goodbye Blue Monday, 1087 Broadway in Bushwick Brooklyn. The show is free, the drinks are cheap, and we’ll only be playing the hottest summer jams, which we will write on the way to the show. Facebook event here.

Also note: due to legal issues, we will no longer be providing any of the following at our shows: free helicopter rides on our 1922 Oehmichen helicopter (pictured), all day “fun passes” to the Alaska governor’s mansion (not pictured), or framed velvet portraits of Kim Jong Il (not pictured).

Read more about the festival in this New York Times feature. The show is free and huge. Facebook event here.

We promise that Joe Lieberman will be there, dressed as Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. Also, we may–I repeat, may–reenact a Civil War battle dressed in period-correct Star Wars costumes.

A little known fact about Karl’s pedalboard: it was the inspiration behind Dwight Yoakum’s song “Guitars, Cadillacs, Soldering Irons and Hillbilly Music.“
