The Ghost of Saturday Nite

About Me

The Ghost of Saturday Nite is a three piece band based out of Raleigh, NC that plays a brand of music that is inspired by the likes of The Wipers, and Rocket From the Crypt, while mixing in their own style of frantic, loud, and energetic live performances. The style and real emotions that the Ghost displays in their live performances are traits that best describe what this band is about. The Ghost of Saturday Nite is all about writing songs with rhythmic and unique guitar riffs, driving bass lines, and a steady back beat combined with a real feel for music, which makes for a unique and entertaining live show. The Ghost of Saturday Nite embodies the true sense of the art form which we call music, that is, the Ghost is most concerned with writing damn good songs and putting on a memorable show rather than how many so-called “myspace” friends we have, or how much schmoozing we can do at the local pub. In essence, the Ghost of Saturday Nite is music in the truest sense, and not what music and the industry has become, which is a beauty contest of jackanapes with little to no talent and a Wal-Mart like marketing scheme to hatch a career as a musician. Well, the Ghost of Saturday Nite is no band that fits the modern definition of music, they are the epitome of the traditional sense of this hallowed art form and true believers that music is about talent and real feelings and emotions.
