Dead Ghosts Album: S/T (Buy) Label: Florida's Dying Dead Ghosts - When It Comes To You Tweet
This year, I was incredibly happy to be involved with throwing the Eruption of the Real party that happened on Friday, March 18th at the Cherrywood Coffee House. Our partners, Sweet Relief Musician's Fund and Secret Chief Management were the most awesome, helpful all around badasses with fantastic taste in music, and who know how [...]
"Ghost Hunter" is taken from Head On Electric 's Ghost Hunter 7", which is out now on Terror Trash Records. The Milwaukee band's debut LP will be released on Dusty Medical Record s later this summer.

Also, if your in the MKE area tonight (3/26) - check out Dead Ghosts ( click me ) , T rent Fox And The Tenants, and The Living Blackouts at Franks Power Plant - and bookmark [...]
Dead Ghosts poster by Ben Lyon We could make a clever quip about web sensation Rebecca Black's amusing teen jam "Friday," but Loud Loop Press doesn't care about that. We care about alerting you to the most kick-ass shows this weekend has to offer. Plus we totally couldn't think of any. I mean, it's Friday afternoon. We're half-way out the door already. Anyway, we've got the goods this week with some familiar and not-so-familiar faces. There's White Mystery at the Double Door; Streets on Fire at the Viaduct; Darling at the Hideout and much, [...]

Woah y'all, I know I just said I'd be at the East Side Drive In for MWTX, and then here comes Psychic Lunch Records x Play Pinball! Records at the Spiderhouse Ballroom (2906 Fruth St) to make me wanna ditch MWTX. Check out the lineup below. SICK! 12:30 PM: The Wrong Words (San Francisco, CA) [...]
Any stupidface blogger can throw out their Favourite Albums of the Year list (and most do). What do you do when some (not so stupidfaced) bloggers go out and pool 120 pretty awesome people about their favourite albums and then tally the results to produce their Top 10 albums of year? Mind explosion, that's what. Oh, I didn't mention they also included free mp32s from the musicians who participated? Double mind explosion. I'm not even sure how I missed it when it was posted to one of my favourite music blogs a couple months ago. I'm [...]
There's not much that I don't love about SXSW. I revel in the pre-festival stressing, the insanity, the planning, the $2.50 Lonestars, the Frost Bank Building, street dogs at 1am, falling down dead of exhaustion after a long day, and so on and so forth. It's the best week of my year and 2011 is [...]
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Dead Ghosts - How The West Was Fun Dead Ghosts - Off The Hook
Second round of 2010 Audiopleasures favorite albums, the order is irrelevante. Twin Shadow - Forget / 4AD Listen | Twin Shadow - Slow Twin Shadow is the moniker used by one George Lewis Jr., a Dominican-born, Florida-bred composer whose varied musical misadventures have already taken him around the globe and back. This reviewer first became aware of Lewis when he lived in Boston [...]
The Dead Ghosts http://www.myspace.com/thedead ghosts J'aurais une tendresse particulière pour le garage-rock lo-fi inspiré par les Kinks, et tout le rock et la pop sixties, tous les trucs en « poom poom-poom tchak ». C'est physique.
It's the end of the year. So, kind of a time for reflection on the year past, as well as a celebration of it's ending and the new year to come. I lost some important people from my life this year. Nothing so dramatic as deaths, but just… Movings apart. It served as a reminder of how rare those that unflinchingly support all the little crazy things that I do, those core that are still my close friends after all these years, and how treasured they are by me. So when I was approaching [...]
Rollo & Grady has gone through some changes this year. Some of them you can see and some of them you can't. Those you can see generally have to do with the look of our site: We've finally finished revising our header and because we moved offices back in September, the Sunset and Horn street signs are no longer relevant. We considered incorporating the Hollywood sign in our header, but decided it was too generic; besides, the gossip douche Perez Hilton uses it on his site. We went with a beautiful view [...]
I love doing year end roundup coverage and I'm still waiting to put up the bands to watch list, so I thought we'd highlight some of the great bands we discovered over the past year. Some of them made our 2011 bands to watch list, some of them didn't, some of them aren't even NEW [...]
I know all of my readers know the score: I'm from California (where it was 85 degrees yseterday) but currently in Brighton (where it's balls cold all year long). And it's the holidays, so I'm fleeing this cold arctic winter place for the milder climate, but I thought I'd pay tribute to England via a [...]
2010 has been a pretty fun year for music. Every year, I discover more music, better music, and sometimes it cracks me up to see how my music taste grows and differs as the years go by, but I think 2010 has been a great year for new bands and kickass albums. I've compiled my [...]
photo from sare bear's Flickr photostream Vancouver, BC's Dead Ghosts have a portfolio of obscure seven inch singles to their name, but it's almost like they don't want you to know about them, preferring to release records on obscure European and Iowan labels. They seem to favor flying under the radar. Hopefully all of that is about to change with the release of their first feature full length album. Packed full of foot-stompers, the Dead Ghosts self-titled debut on Florida's Dying is easy to like, especially for garage [...]
