Holy Ghost! have been putting in their time on the road, primarily opening for better known acts, to promote their excellent self-titled debut album. The duo of Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel create electro-pop that is infectious and fun and, unlike many other in the genre, feels fresh and playfully new. There's a definite '80s bent to their approach but there's an approachability to their presentation that feels ver of the "now." There's a tropical feel mixed with an urban feel in their music so I guess you could say it feels like your dancing on a beach with a kick-ass light show surrounded by beautiful people. What's not to like?

The band has finally graduated to headliner status and rolls through town tomorrow, November 5, to play at Double Door. Look for us, we'll be the ones dancing with all the pretty girls and boys.

MP3: Holy Ghost! "Wait And See"
