![]() ![]() But when our EP came out and kids went crazy, that was a huge affirmation that we were doing something right. KerithGhost: There have definitely been times when we’ve wondered if everyone would like us as much as the hype was letting on. But when that stress comes, we usually take a breather and try to refocus on the music. Has this put any stress on you or the band members to live up to the hype that has been placed on you guys?īrianGhost: There have definitely been times, especially during the writing and practicing processes, where we have felt the pressure of all of our fans and friends. ![]() Racket: I Am Ghost have been creating a buzz, even well before you ever played a show. Victor was the hardest one to find we auditioned drummers for months before we found him. In fact, I wouldn’t even be in the band if Brian hadn’t mentioned to Steve that he knew a female vocalist/violinist, so I’m grateful that Brian was looking out for me and knew how much I would love being in this band. We’ve kept in touch for 6 and half years, and were dating by the time Steve auditioned us. ![]() Brian and I already knew each other through past involvement in touring music and performing arts groups, even though he grew up in Colorado and I grew up in CA, near San Francisco. Gabe and Tim already knew each other because they’re in the same town and had played together already. Myspace is an incredibly efficient way to meet people. KerithGhost: It’s amazing that our band got together because of the internet. He found Gabe and Tim (guitarists) first, then Kerith and I auditioned after that, and about a week later they found Victor. We all submitted our musical resumes and influences to him over Myspace and he liked what he saw, so he had us come out to Long Beach and audition. Racket: How did you guys all meet? Were there any particular resources used to find people for this band?īrianGhost: Steve (lead vocals) recruited every member of the band over Myspace. This is the outcome of that conversation. ![]() Shortly before the show, I had a chance to interview Brian (bass/piano/backing Vox) and Kerith (violin/vocals) via the information superhighway. They sold the Chain Reaction out in less than two weeks, something that isn’t done too easily. You would never guess this was only their 3rd show EVER. I haven’t witnessed anything like this in a long time. A sold out Chain Reaction, hundreds of people swarming the parking lot all for one reason – I AM GHOST. Thousands of emails and requests for the demo, and numerous people promoting for this band has led to the biggest buzz So Cal has seen in a long, long time. A few months later a demo is recorded, and a buzz is created over a band that has yet to play even a single show. Taking some of the best musicians from different bands, vastly different cities in So Cal and from many different walks of life, Steve may have finally found what he has been searching for. Steve searched day and night for people who have similar musical influences and the same aspirations as him. Back in late 2004, Steve Juliano signed online for one single purpose… to create a band that would help him convey the feeling and emotions that he was unable to before. You may wonder what this may have to do with a band write-up, but I will soon show you. You can meet new people, listen to some cool music, and spend hours upon hours doing nothing. ![]()
