This Wednesday, the night before Thanksgiving, Holy Ghost! take the stage at the 9:30 Club so that you can start off your holiday weekend dancing, and we’ve got your tix.
I consider the Brooklyn electropop duo’s self-titled debut full length, released last April via DFA, one of the best of the year. “Do It Again” was released digitally in anticipation of the album last winter, and “Wait and See” and “Hold My Breath” were subsequently released on 12″ with accompanying videos.
You might also know them from last year’s excellent remix of LCD Soundsystem’s “Drunk Girls,” and last Friday, they dropped the non-album track and Ministry cover “I Wanted to Tell Her” featuring labelmates the Juan MacLean and Nancy Whang.
Try to listen to these without dancing. I dare you.
Holy Ghost! | I Wanted to Tell Her
Holy Ghost! | Do It Again
LCD Soundsystem | Drunk Girls (Holy Ghost! Remix)
I like to imagine DFA HQ in NYC as this mythical place where bossman James Murphy lurks the halls as as grizzly-faced Don Johnson bear, commanding his minions to make the disco. How fantastic would it be to work for him? I know I would wake up one morning sporting a DFA lightning bolt tattoo somewhere unseemly. [Cue “Drunk Girls (Holy Ghost! Remix)”.]
For a chance to win a pair of tickets, tell us who would be your dream boss.
As far as bosses go, my boss is pretty damn cool, but I would love to be the Liz Lemon to Jack Donaghy for just one day.
The winner will be chosen at noon on Tuesday, November 22nd. Happy Friday!
