Holy Ghost! From: New York, United States Is there no end to the number of bands containing the word ghost? Hot on the heels of Manchester rapscallions Ghost Outfit and the Mercury Prize nominated Ghostpoet come electro dancemeisters Holy Ghost! The New York duo sound like they've been working the ouija board to summons the spirits of the first wave of British electro pop of the early 1980s. Their self titled debut, issued by DFA [...]
Depois de muita espera, a DFA anunciou o lançamento do disco de estréia do Holy Ghost! (que para nossa felicidade, "vazou" inteirinho na rede neste final de semana). O disco autointitulado conta com parcerias de Chris Glover do Penguin Prison , Juan McLean e Luke Jenner do The Rapture . O duo americano ficou conhecido com os ótimos remixes de músicas do Cut Copy , Phoenix , Moby e o melhor [...]

That "Magic 8-Ball" rolls into NYC on April 30th at Terminal 5 . Tickets aren't listed yet. All dates are below. Meanwhile catch A-Trak with Art [...]
"Sure, we wanna party after the show. You like lemon and honey?" Holy Ghost! frontman Alex Frankel was downing tea between every song last night at Mercury Lounge, clearly not feeling so well, and I don't think the band have played very many shows yet anyway. There were other problems too. More than one false start, and Guitarist Chris Maher broke like three strings during their short set, pretty amazing given the light, Nile Rogers style rhythm playing.So I'm not gonna be too hard on their performance. That said, but I [...]
It's about that time of the year again: COMICON WEEK! For the 8th year in a row, myself and the rest of the IHEARTCOMIX crew will be heading down to SAN DIEGO to partake in all the craziness that is COMICON. It's a week full of all things 'geeky', plus tons of cool parties, movie/tv stuff and wild costumes. It's sensory overload at it's finest and we're gonna be right in the thick of it! Just like last year, IHEARTCOMIX will be throwing a huge COMICON PARTY at VOYEUR on SAT JULY [...]

by Heather Hulsey 1. "Daniel" by Bat for Lashes I was so impressed with this album, Two Suns . I had the pleasure of seeing Bat For Lashes this summer at the 9:30 Club and they are fantastic live. Natasha Khan is a beautiful muse with an angelic voice, and frankly, I have a girl crush. 2. "Kiss Of Life" by Friendly Fires This single was included on the deluxe edition re-release of Friendly Fires' self-titled debut album, and I love [...]
Sad news in more ways than one - NYC duo Holy Ghost! have canceled their Australian tour due to the untimely death of close friend and former bandmate Jerry Fuchs. It sucks we won't get to see them live but it's completely understandable and we hope the boys are fit to tour Australia sometime soon. Which brings us to the most perfect music video segue in Pedestrian's short history. UPDATE: Alex and Nick from Holy Ghost! have released the following statement... Last week our dear [...]
I saw this video a while back and just about instantly liked the song, even though it's very disco-ey. Brooklyn's Holy Ghost! have as they have said, something that is retro, yet relevant. The hook is extremely catchy and will serve you well as a part of your party time, night time city driving soundtrack. Fun fact: the burly, bearded guy in the video is the same guy (who did the same thing) in New Order's "Confusion" video. You can get the track, along with several [...]
Uh oh, someone's been geekin' out over Holy Ghost(!). Info about HG!, Arthur Baker, New Order, Nancy Whang, and Madonna wannabes along with mp3s after the jump.>> Holy Ghost has had a couple of my favorite remixes over the past few years, the most recent being Phoenix's Listzomania (officially titled the "Holy Ghost Loves Paris Remixomania" remix, now who's gonna pass *that* up?). Go find it now. They gave Moby's I Like to Move In Here the same treatment back last year. [...]
un par de videos molones para pasar la tarde: a) Pepinazo de New Order con un video bien chanante. A partir del 02:50 eso es puro boogaloo. Me tiro el moco y digo que es por la influencia en la producción de Arthur Baker . b) Pedazo de homenaje de Holy Ghost! al video anterior. El tema le anda a la zaga. c) Para terminar, Calvin Harris, Sony y quince jamonas en bikini haciendo cosas del futuro. puro mainstream molante. (vía Andamos Armados )
My brain can only handle small bits of information this afternoon so it's roundup time: Is there a better blog around than the 'culturally relevant' Hipster Runoff ? No there is not. Carles talks about M.I.A's baby . Friday also means Day and Night - you can read all my updates here including a piece about Aslan's recent illegal download claims . Did it ever happen? Will they ever trust the internet again? Jim Carroll has asked me to participate in Banter alongside Unarocks [...]
- Frequenze video preview - Ci sono molteplici motivi, che non stiamo adesso a discutere, del perchè il mondo del videoclip sia cosi tanto poco avezzo alla formula del remake. Infatti, escludendo le versioni demenziali, a memoria non ne ricordo nessuno. Per questo fa un certo effetto scoprire che il nuovo video degli Holy Ghost! è la copia precisa e decisamente ben fatta di Confusion dei New Order . Un omaggio fedele al New York city style dei primi anni 80' con un Arthur Baker tirato a lucido nel suo ruolo originale (il [...]
O Holy Ghost! é a dupla formada por "Nick and Alex". Eles fazem parte do selo DFA Recods , que pertece ao LCD Soundsystem , e acabaram de lançar seu mais novo single, que já ta bombando mundo afora junto com esse maravilhoso vídeo ai. Holy Ghost! - I Will Come Back
Here's the New Video for the long overdue New Single by Holy Ghost! , 'I Will Come Back'. An homage to NYC Nightlife! Ahhh NYC Pizza how I miss thee... That's also the legendary producer Arthur Baker playing himself in the video in the studio shots who they met on a night out. Apparently they were gonna have someone play him in the video, but after telling him he insisted on playing himself. In addition here is a Classixx Remix [...]
