Aside from what might be the most annoying camera work I've seen in a long time, that's a really nice interview. I absolutely love their spirit. —

Yeah, we went to go see them in Sacramento this last September and they where pretty cool guys. I didn't talk to Norm that much because we had to leave, plus there was some annoying PsychoBilly band playing. But they where pretty excited to here that we started our band because we liked their music so much. They are really talkative, you don't even have to keep up the conversation because they won't shut up(haha). Nice guys though. — |

Garrett is really busy with The Walking Dead, and Norm is kicking it with Boss Fink........but I really hope that at some point in the future we have another full length Ghastly Ones album. Probably my favorite band. —Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in. It's like the mob or something. You're not getting out." - Kelly Slater |

Yep, Garrett will be doing the next season of Walking Dead. I just finished up on Spiderman 2. No Ghastly music in the works at the moment. The movie stuff makes it impossible to have a full time band, but we needed a break nevertheless. I want to focus on BOSS FINK at the moment too, so I can take a break from drums and play some geetar. Staredge wrote: — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! |

Ghastly fans would enjoy the latest Venturesmania disc. Garrett plays lead on about a quarter of the album. Not spooky surf, but the songwriting is Mosrite-era Ventures/Eleki all the way. It's like they inverted some original Ventures tunes and came up with their own. "They" being Deke, Phantom Surfer Mel, Nokie and Dr. Lehos. Awesome Mosrite tones and great songs. — |

Couldn't agree with you more.The Venturesmania Disc is probably one of my favorite purchases of last year.It is truly like a lost Ventures album of the mid-60's.Garrett's work is amazing to say the least! With that said I have a sneaky suspition that Boss Fink is gonna blow my mind! —Reverb, It's A Way Of Life! Last edited: Mar 08, 2013 07:37:44 |

I was kind of disappointed in the Venturesmania disc to be honest. It just didn't grab me. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Woah! Originally appeared well before my getting hip to this joint. Thanks for the bump, Knuckles. Those Dischord references Garrett dropped made me dig this band even more, if that were possible. —Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Last edited: Mar 09, 2013 09:32:39 |
