Looking for something to do Halloween evening? Grab your best angel outfit and fly down to Howard’s Club H! The Holy Ghost has left their father and son at home and is ready to rock in Bowling Green with what lead vocalist Christopher Dean Heine calls, “Real rock and roll.”
The Holy Ghost, a Brooklyn-based band consisting of brothers Christopher Dean, the vocalist, and Kent Heine, the bassist, as well as Alec Ferrell, the guitarist, and drummer Angela Webster, will be the second out of three bands to play Howard’s on Halloween night.
“Right now we’re getting all of our stuff ready for tour, but we’re kinda playing around with the idea of doing something fun for Halloween. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if we do, we haven’t decided directly what it’s going to be,” Heine said.
This will be the second show that Holy Ghost will play on a three week long, twenty show fall leg of their 2004 tour, which will be geared to promoting their new twelve-track album which drops in February of 2005 and is still seeking a name.
“We’re really excited about the new record. We have a few ideas as to what we could name it, but we just aren’t really sure right now,” Christopher Dean Heine said.
The nameless new album, which will be the longest of the four records that The Holy Ghost has released, is the successor to a six track album named, “Well…Get Your Funeral Shoes,” which was deemed as a refreshing success among fans and rock critics alike.
With amazing vocal tracks that really set the tone for the album, the six-track tease exudes exploding energy and modern-indie guitar pop hooks that seem to be a combination for success. One would just hope that history will repeat itself for the new record as The Holy Ghost has something new and exciting to offer for those who yearn for the days when pure rock and roll ruled the world.
“When we moved here (New York) in 1999, we were playing rock and roll music, and people were telling us it that it wasn’t going to work because electronica was what was popular and we weren’t playing electronica. Then the whole ‘New Rock and Roll’ thing got popular because of bands like the Strokes and Hot Hot Heat.”
“We put a lot of soul in to our music and I really think that makes us stand out.”
The Holy Ghost has earned a rather hefty fan base as they have toured throughout America three times, putting on a show which fans label as, “A Must See.” Fan Scott Jacobson states, “The band truly feels as they play. The expressions on their faces as the music emanates from them convey that they put so much heart and soul into everything that they do. They’re just… awesome and they show is a better experience than just sitting at home and listening to a CD. I encourage everyone who appreciates a good rock band to go see the show.”
According to The Holy Ghost, they are expecting to take the stage by 10:30 p.m. and tickets will be either $5 or $7 dollars.
Howard’s Club H is located at 210 North Main Street, approximately three doors down from the Corner Grill.
