TheHyperChondriac Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Edinburgh based country blues rock n roll band The Holy Ghosts are coming to Shetland in April. Support comes from local heros First Foot Soldiers. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k264/jacksandison/HolyGhosts-Legion-web.jpg Tickets now on sale! Some info about the band: The Holy Ghosts, formed in the summer of 2011 are a five piece band from Edinburgh playing Rock n' Roll with a splash of Country and a dash of the Blues. Drawing influences from The Band, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Iggy and the Stooges and Chuck Berry, they convey dirty 60s rock n roll with a modern twist often drawing comparisons with that of the Stones during their Exile on Main Street era. Members include Jack Sandison (The Stagger Rats), Jon Mackenzie (The Complete Stone Roses), Rory Penman, Jonny Rapeseed and Andy Barbour. Performing live remains the groups forte with the use of razor sharp guitars, honky tonk piano, spine tingling three part harmonies and charismatic stage presence make The Holy Ghosts the band to watch in 2012. The Edinburgh five piece have already been making an impact on the Scottish music scene with a sold out show at The Voodoo Rooms, also supporting Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays) at The Liquid Rooms and securing a monthly residency gig at Edinburgh's Fiddlers Elbow. The band have recently been in the studio recording the first half of their debut album which is to mastered by world famous producer 'Owen Morris' (Oasis, The View, The Verve, Ash). The first few singles will be available for download in the Spring. Some live footage can be heard here and songs from their forthcoming album can be heard on the facebook page. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkiQTIVZX4U&context=C3c22e71ADOEgsToPDskJUM_P6N6wkL9f_aL-DqRtm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
