The Black Ghosts on tour in support of July release

The Black Ghosts are bustin' thru the US and haunting a hood near you this July with a ghostly celebration of their self-titled debut release. Beware of these dark knights!

"The Black Ghosts are uncommon pop geniuses with a knack for catchy songs that avoid cliches." TBG Can rock the funky beats and sing. They have a knack for combining dance-punk indie-pop and electro-breaks, and somehow do it without sounding lame." -XLR8R

Those that made it out to their Vice "Tales of Colt 45" Tour were able to witness firsthand the bangin’ tracks off their forthcoming album brought to life and party all night to the incomparable dance-floor wrecking sets that take place only when The Black Ghosts are up on the decks. If you missed it, don’t worry, they are making their way back stateside (check the dates below!) amidst performing at some of this year’s hottest international festivals including Gatecrasher, Rock Ness and Glastonbury.

"While the set was anchored with tracks from their forthcoming eponymous full-length – replete with Simon Lord’s live vocals, mind you – Lord and partner Theo Keating dropped the best in the contemporary and future sounds of London’s disco circuit." – Big Shot

"Touché's UK-styled beats coupled with Simon Lord's fervent vocals reminded me of when I first started going out to see deejays. Everything sounded fresh and I would come home drenched in sweat with my feet aching, looking forward to doing it all again." – Brooklyn Vegan

The Black Ghosts’ have built for themselves a formidable reputation with the quiet confidence that befits the duo’s enigmatic style. With the cold, steely riffs and floor-smashing beats of the much admired Theo Keating AKA Touché, ably augmented by erstwhile Simian vocalist Simon Lord, The Black Ghosts’ have begun to reveal their unique, electro-noir spirit through a brace of limited addition white-labels and their strikingly original DJ sets, that see Simon unfettering his spine-chilling vocals and shadowy tales.

And now The Black Ghosts will tour the states in support of the release of their debut full-length "The Black Ghosts” on IAMSOUND July 8, 2008, which features the electro-pop groove and first single, 'Repetition' showcasing the vocal stylings of very special guest, Damon Albarn. Other gems include ghetto-gothic ‘Any Way You Chose To Give It’ and the lyrically dark, bassed-out 'Some Way Through This'. This album will surely make many year end top critics polls and be your favorite summer long player.

"This 4 song boner that pokes back to the 80's erotic pop era when West End Girls, some bigger than others, slithered into bathroom stalls like Karma Chameleons only to overdose on Candy and fall crashing down through a Heart of Glass" - Tripwire

"The Black Ghosts will get you moving without fail.... The result is dark, daring electro-synth songs with thoughtful lyrics taken from a cynical and strangely empowering perspective." - Spin.com, artist of the day
