Coincidentally, I have the Agent Orange 7" where they give their own songs the surf treatment, and it isn't bad. I couldn't find anything else out about "The 13 Ghosts" on the internet or where to get any of their stuff. Anyone listened to them ? Are they any good ? Top

He's in several other bands and he and Gein (Gein and The Graverobbers) had a project going for a while. 13 Ghosts started out as a totally different band which John joined. When the last original member left, John changed the name. I've met John a couple of times and even booked him at one of the local clubs once. I really dig all the horror surf stuff and have a special attachment to the first 13 Ghosts LP of all the Misfits covers. Actually, I just went to the myspace page and apparently Gein is still playing drums for the Ghosts. — The Mystery Men? El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists SSS Agent #31 Top
