Ghosts and Vodka (members of Capn' Jazz, owls,Joan of Arc) reunite

Contributed by thesandwiches. Posted by aubin on Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 5:00 PM (EST)

Ghosts and Vodka have resurfaced. The band was an instrumental project from guitarist Victor Villareal (ex-Cap'n Jazz), guitarist Sam Zurick (ex-Cap'n Jazz, Joan Of Arc and Make Believe), bassist Erik Bocek (ex-Tetsuo, ex-Joan Of Arc) and drummer Scott Shellhammer (ex-Tetsuo, American Heritage)

The band had this to say:

We just got done having our first practice in 8 years or something like that. Honestly I can't remember the last time we were all in the same place at the same time. At any rate... It happened. We will keep you posted.

The band split up in 2001 and released Addicts and Drunks posthumously in 2003.

Hi-ProGlow (March 5, 2009)

I asked my friend this question earlier...

what would you rather listen to:

A Joaquin Phoenix rap record, or a 3OH!3 record?

death is not an option.

allfornot (March 5, 2009)

I'm assuming stabbing yourself in the ears is off limits to?

Hi-ProGlow (March 5, 2009)

that is correct

allfornot (March 5, 2009)

I guess I'll take 3OH!3.

avodrocyelir (March 5, 2009)

joaquin for the kitsch factor.

cronophrog (March 5, 2009)

J Pho is real.
Don't step to dis.

crayZsaaron (March 5, 2009)

This is really weird...

Joaquin Phoenix on the Late Show

Is Joaquin stoned or is it a weird sort of joke? I am baffled.

Preston (March 5, 2009)

Oh, yeah. I was gonna check these guys out six years ago.

ffwoodycock (March 5, 2009)

this is the full statement:
"Hi.

We just got done having our first practice in 8 years or something like that. Honestly I can't remember the last time we were all in the same place at the same time. At any rate... It happened.

We will keep you posted... or not. One or the other."

so, they might not be getting together. shit.

miniblindbandit (March 5, 2009)

super ghouls n ghosts

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (March 5, 2009)

I can't get enough of the new Teenage Bottlerocket.
Any dwarves fans in the house?

Spooky (March 5, 2009)

Yeah, great band. How To Win Friends and Influence People is probably my second favorite album of theirs next to Thank Heaven/Sugar Fix

LinoleumMagazine (March 5, 2009)

"The Dwarves are young and good looking"

It's awesome. You will enjoy. I promise.

Spooky (March 5, 2009)

I've heard Everybody's Girl and I Will Deny from that one. I'll check it out.

ibitchslappedyourmama (March 5, 2009)

Of course, Dwarves are awesome.
I was a little let down with Fuck you up and get Live, but its still pretty good.

ConsumedByMusic (March 5, 2009)

their stuff is awesome

red_eye_inc (March 5, 2009)

Doesn't sound like they're getting back together to me

KillThePatriarch (March 5, 2009)

This would be sooo much better with vocals.

letthebeatdrop (March 5, 2009)

no, it fucking wouldn't.

TheMexican (March 5, 2009)

Crushes suck.

LinoleumMagazine (March 5, 2009)

Anyone out there wanna hook my broke ass up with some Frank Turner "Love Ire & Song"?

and yes I'm sure I'll go see him live sometime soon and I may even buy a record and a shirt.

spoon_of_grimbo (March 5, 2009)

i can't be arsed with uploading it myself (mediafire's fucked me around the last few times i've tried to upload anything), but google throws this up:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?izm2gizwiug

it's a kickass album, i gave it a spin t'other night.

LinoleumMagazine (March 6, 2009)

Awesome. Thanks a lot!

MyStereoHasMono (March 5, 2009)

FUCK YES!!!!!

Saften (March 5, 2009)

Wow, I remember these people as some of the first I heard about when I had Audiogalaxy. Although I don't recall them being "punk", more like elevator music. The best elevator music I've ever heard, but still.

kneel (March 6, 2009)

audiogalaxy was like, the greatest thing ever.

xote (March 5, 2009)

Would be pretty cool if they did get back together. Addicts and Drunks was a great record.

mightybombjack (March 5, 2009)

very cool news. i have to admit i liked erik's other group, an automotive, just a little bit more.

letthebeatdrop (March 5, 2009)

hands down the best fucking news ive heard in a long time.

i've never been more excited.... seriously, this is absolutely incredible!!!!

pdxtoph (March 6, 2009)

fuck this band rules

matt_b (March 6, 2009)

best news ever (next to an American Football one-off reunion show announcement....as far as Kinsella band news goes). I really hope they play a show or two. A new record would be pretty fucking incredible.
