At the outset of this blog I mentioned dance music and the major renaissance it was enjoying. Today it is my distinct pleasure to introduce those unfamiliar to Ghostland Observatory, an electro-rock funk duo from Austin, TX. I’ll keep this week’s post short as I think some of these posts have been getting a little preachy cough gabe cough. Just kidding, but not really, or am I? No, no I’m not.
On to the music…
Below are 5 of my absolute favorite tracks from GO’s 3-album discography. Upon listening and breaking out into uncontrollable dance, you can check them out here.
These guys rock. And as you can tell by their YouTube videos (below), you apparently leave their concerts deaf AND blind, which is cool, stage presence is definitely something these guys have plenty of.
Enjoy the tunes for this most excellent Thursday, and next week we’ll explore the true meaning of ‘TALENT.’
Until then, adios.

Preachiness is the new black. Now more than ever.
ReplyDeleteIf you like the sounds of Ghostland Observatory but you are looking for a group that has master the art of the high leg kick... I recommend Gil Mantera's Party Dream, aka GMPD. This group deserves a full days post but until that day comes, check out the following links.
