Chris sings, plays guitar and some keys. Rich plays bass and some keys. Both write lyrics. Troy Woody plays drums part-time for us. We could use a full-time drummer and a second guitarist/backing vocalist/keyboard player.
Influences
Many: The Smiths, The Police, Beatles, Talking Heads, Joy Division, Pixies, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Stereolab, Throwing Muses, PJ Harvey... the list goes on. We're children of the 80s, and there's a definite post-punk/new wave vibe in some of our material.
Sounds Like
We hear "you sound like Bowie" an awful lot. It's not intentional.
Ghost Hoodie is a Seattle band with its origins in an informal songwriting collective formed in September 2006. Since then, the two founders, Rich Huston and Chris Winters, have written or collaborated on several dozen songs.
GhostHoodies. Just checking in to hear what's up... I think it's the vox harmony on 'Effortless' that are so Bowiesque. Nice. And killer guitar on Aground. Keep on truckin'. Mitch_averymitchellband
