Description
Mexican death-surf, digital psychobilly, dark goth disco, rock... The style of the Danish three piece act Hola Ghost has been categorized as all of the above plus more. And not without reason; appearing live with bandanas, bullet belts, sombrero and painted day of the death-masks, the trio fearlessly mix genres to create their own dark Scandinavian mariachi rock sound, inspired by surf music, Mexican folklore, dark disco, psychobilly, B-western movies and what else is out there worth listening to. The three "Copenhagen gringos" present a high energy performance on albums as well as live on stage.
'The Man They Couldn't Hang...' is Hola Ghost's second album originally released on vinyl by the band's own label Hola Pete Records in 2009 and reissued by Svart Records in 2019. Now finally back on the market, the album features 11 tracks with stories of revolution, blood thirsty vampires, howling wolves, hate and love for alligator girls and a whole bunch of other stories delivered with machine gun drumming and heavy rock'n'roll bass and guitar.
Hola Ghost was formed as a duo by Peter Sandorff (ex-Nekromantix and Mad Sin) with long time friend Jeppe B. Jessen, to work on the soundtrack for LA bound artist Gris Grimlys' debut movie 'Cannibal Flesh Riot.' They bought a haunted drum machine in a pawn shop in Los Angeles that the shop owner had won in a tequila-soaked poker game in Tijuana in Mexico. While working on the soundtrack the rhythms started to seem colored by the machines Mexican origin. The Mexican influence became trademarks for the bands two studio albums and live performances in Europe, in USA and South America. And after replacing the drum machine, the new drummer Kristian Sandorff is skillfully keeping up the tradition live as well as on the band' releases from 2014 onwards.
Edition on transparant RED vinyl.
