Ghostfinger in The Village Voice

Ghostfinger

WOTT’s favorite mustache is featured in NYC’s Village Voice:

“Ghostfinger‘s Richie Kirkpatrick can’t decide whether he wants to be Mick making like Gram, Alice mugging like Iggy, or Dulli aping Prince. But that’s a plus where his avidly referential trio’s mélange of twang, pop-metal, and DMSR is concerned. As advertised by the title of their 2005 debut, These Colors Run, the ‘Finger refuse to settle on one tone over another—or in Kirkpatrick’s case, to settle down; the manic, mustachioed ringleader is all over the place and everywhere at once. “

Features Dropped From Universal

Posted Tue May 2, 2006

The Features

from thefeatures.com blog:

“This past week was one of the most difficult ever for us as a band. We had to make an incredibly hard decision that has a direct effect on our future. Earlier this week our record label offered us a chance to record a cover song for a large corporation to be used in a commercial. In addition to using the song in the commercial they wanted us to put it on our record and potentially use it as a single. We turned down the offer(knowing the probable consequences), and our record label dropped us. Needless to say, this came at a bad time since we were a week away from recording our next record. At the moment we are weighing all of our options and still plan on recording next month. We will release another record, we just are not sure with what record label. We promise to keep you up to date with new information and as always check back here for new show dates and content. “

All proceeds will go to the Southern Girls Rock and Roll Camp. There is still at least one slot open, so any interested bands should get in touch with me:

We’ll have some CDs with some old and new recordings that we never used, but if you don’t get one on that night you might not ever get one because the bandmembers are going to stop talking to one another.”

The Final “Unzipped Fly”

Bawston Sean
April 27th, 2006

“Every Thursday, DJ BAWSTON SEAN and LINWOOD KIRK host four hours of rampaging rock n roll, freak-out funk and sweet, sweet soul. dance floor destruction is guarunteed. The beer is cheap and guest DJs are always showing up with the In-sounds from WAY, WAY out, so you better be there-Square.”

But not for long…

From their myspace page:

“THE FINAL FLY!!!
There comes a time in every fly’s life when they’ve got to call it quits. Sadly, this is our time to pack it in. The last 2 1/2 years have been an amazing expierience for all of us. The denizens of Bucket City have been amazingly supportive of this whole endevour, and for that we say thanks. None of it would have happened if folks didn’t show up week after week, month after month.

JASON JONES, LINWOOD KIRK, and BAWSTON SEAN are gonna kick old school on the 27th. They’ll play nothing but the best new wave, punk and soul ever pressed to wax, one last time.

Remember, the beer is always cheap and there’s never a cover, so stop by…”
