every once and a while, i feel like i stumble on something that's still hot from the oven. i think i've burnt my fingers here. ghost club has only been around for a few months, has yet to play any shows, but wow, some really promising stuff coming from idaho. you don't hear that very often. listen to the first 30 seconds of CONFORM! and you'll think this was coming from paris, where the streets are paved with glowing neon.
here are my first impressions: sometimes melodic like mylo, sometimes industrial like justice (and much of EB), sometimes all over the place like tots & hootch, sometimes similar in vocal effects to the presets.
i asked them some questions because there's nothing out there (yet).
slam: who are you?
GC: Ghost Club consists of Louie Bash and David Mikkelson. We saw each other at a coffee shop one day and we'd known each other in the past through mutual friends. I'd heard David had made music in the past but never asked him about it until then. We showed each other our stuff that we'd made just messing around and we were both really stoked and decided to try and put our ideas together. We both have been programming for awhile and David does vocals and I was super stoked on the way David sounded so we just went with it and it's working out better then either one of us thought. As far as what we both do in "Ghost Club" we both program, David does vocals and we're yet to play a show but when we do David will be doing live vocals. I'll be handling the "Dj" part of it I guess you could say and we'll both be playing live keys. We're just trying to incorporate as much as possible for a live show. We both think that's really important.
slam: I ask almost every artist this question: can you describe your sound? What music has influenced you?
GC: Definitely going for a harder sound. Trying to be as unique as possible at the same time. Really influenced by SebastiAn, Justice, Danger, datA and pretty much any artist that can make us jump. We're also just trying to bring a new sound to around were we live. There's not much variety in the music scene around here. Not many people have been introduced to Electronic based music around here let alone banging Electro music but we won't let that get in the way of what we're going for whatsoever. We just wanna be loud as fuck straight up.
slam: What are your plans for the future? Any EP or LP on the way? Any other projects you guys are involved in?
GC: Yeah we've definitely talked about it. Our main focus right now is just to keep making music and really try and mature in our sound. Of course it's on any artists mind to put out a E.P. or an L.P. but we definitely want to write a lot more music before any of that. We're not trying to rush anything by any means. We've had some solo projects in the past but nothing compared to what we're trying to do with Ghost Club. We'll always be putting new music up on our page so keep posted for sure!
