BIOGRAPHY (BRIEF):

Hello everyone and welcome to the The Ghosties - an Ayrshire based, 3 piece Indie/Synth/Pop/Rock masterpiece!

Formed in 2003, full-time since 2004, the band have played in excess of 400 gigs to date. Alongside their commitment to touring extensively throughout the UK, The Ghosties have recently embarked upon their first european tour, taking their music to Holland, Belgium, Germany and France in the summer of 2007.

During their time together, The Ghosties have released 3 EPs, a live DVD, and have recently recorded their first single, "Poets & Killers", which they hope to release soon. As well as playing live, The Ghosties have enjoyed a respectable amount of exposure via radio - locally, nationally and internationally.

ENJOY THE GHOSTIES' SLIDE SHOW, BELOW:

As a band, The Ghosties take great pride in receiving reviews and feedback on their live performances. Here are some examples of what people say:

“The band at once appears professional and well rehearsed. The rhythm and bass section is accurate and punchy, providing the perfect accompaniment to Davidson's tuneful hooks. What puzzles me most, perhaps, is why this band isn’t bigger already - they’ve got everything the Fratellis have and perform with a rivalled level of gusto, they love what they do and they do it superbly.” Review of our gig at The 13th Note, Glasgow 04/06/08, Vicki Cole - Independent....

"Exciting prospects", "Well crafted, and well honed songs that could open up doors for a band who are well known as a great live act." Rick Fulton - Daily Record....

"People couldn't help but dance through this engaging set", "It is very difficult to find fault with this band", "The night undoubtedly belonged to The Ghosties who I am sure we will be hearing a lot more of in the not too distant future." Review of our gig at the Glasgow Barfly 20/02/08, David E - The Mag....

"The vocals are strong and the lyrics thematic in imagery. One instrument plays off of the other like a ball of energy coagulating and expanding from its own friction." Review of our gig at Glasgow's King Tut's 22/03/08, Pinky Kansupada, Freelance, USA....

"The Ghosties are a diverse group and I think thats what makes them stand out as a band." Shane Chess - Shred Zone Magazine....

"This band are excellent live, they have a great sound and great songs, Keep it up lads." Sam - BBC Radio Cambridgeshire....

"We had the pleasure of inviting these guys all the way from Scotland as they are travelling all the way round the UK at the moment. These guys were easily my favourite band of the whole night. Their tunes were up beat and very catchy, especially 'The Marks' and 'Nights Of Pleasure'." Review from The Spencer (Coventry)....

"Indie pop rock call it what you will, if The Ghosties keep up the level of playability that they had in their set they should go far." X-posed Magazine....

..
..I belief in
artgeneering...

the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-

translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient way
of using language...

the way of light and color...

without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...

to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...

natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...

awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...

to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
times,

that keep us away from our natural mission...

to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of
freedom and peace...

we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,

to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and
our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)
