The Band That Goes Bump In The Night - The Ghost Sound
July 31, 2008
Powerful, fresh, and unique. Those are the words I would use to describe local rock band, The Ghost Sound. Unlike a ghost, this band does not mysteriously go bump in the night, but rocks the night away for all that will listen and enjoy. The band is comprised of three band members: Travis - lead guitar, Dustin (a.k.a. Robot) - Percussion, and Geoff - Bass. Together they make up this band who are anxiously awaiting the day they cross the plains from garage band to superstar, becoming the next successful band to come from Land O Lakes, Florida.
It all started with Dustin and Travis, who founded The Ghost Sound almost 6 years ago. They say their chemistry is so strong that Justin can change up a rif somewhere and Dustin knows exactly what he’s doing and changes with him, without even saying anything. Not long after, they added Geoff on bass guitar, which completed the final piece of their band.
Travis says he always enjoyed playing the guitar, as well as Geoff. They have been playing since they were in middle school. Robot, the drummer, started because he didn’t have many friends living in New York, so his parents purchased him a drum kit, and he’s been playing ever since. With the amount of experience The Ghost Sound have playing their respective instruments it’s no surprise that they’ve written some intense tunes with hit potential.
Currently The Ghost Sound is purely an instrumental act with no vocalist. They don’t like to play covers if they don’t have to. The boys are looking for a lead singer who can enhance their bands already unique sound. They have parted ways with a few lead singers in the past, and said it would be nice to have a the position filled in the future; although for now they are happy just jamming instrumentally for their fans.
The Ghost Sound has yet to cut a record, but look for them to be one of the rising bands to emerge from the Tampa Bay area. With a sound like theirs, it would be no surprise to see their first album turn into an instant hit.
We had the immense pleasure to sit down and talk with “The Ghost Sound” and make a podcast of the interview, plus video a sample of them practicing for your enjoyment. If you haven’t seen or heard of them, this will be a great way to hear the band. Check it out and let them know what you think by going to their MySpace www.myspace.com/theghostsound
