Ghostland Observatory?

Is anyone else into these guys? I say am posting in the section cuz they are a "big" local Tejas band.

I have seen them twice and really look fwd: to seeing them more. Just wondering if anyone else is into them?

The band is a Austen based band that plays electric funk in lew of Daft Punk.

I would describe them as Freddy Mercury meets techno for lack of a better description.

Your thoughts?

Eah its kinda counter culture a bit. Like I wish to take a bunch of drugs and go see them as i know it would expand the experience ten fold. alternative substances are just not my thing. They are playing at ACL this year anyone going?

WAHHHH!??

I didn't even know ghostland opened for them! NIN has been an all time favorite of mine, Trent just finished up the last shows too. I've seen them a few times, once in the pit, made it to front and center at the rail at a sold out show. Pure awesomeness. I almost flew to Hawaii just to see Ladytron open for them, I kind of wish I would have

That's awesome man! So far though


You can see me in this one, front and center, actually offset a tad bit to the right. Such a blast. Ugh now I want to spend money on some shows I miss it!

Yeah its really not for everyone that is for sure! They are truly one of those bands you have to see in person to really get into.
