A Look Back At Ghosthustler
 Denton, TX’s short lived Ghosthustler gave us a tasty blend of disco, post-punk, & synth-pop. Though they’ve parted ways, their monster bass licks and 80’s montage keytar lines will live on forever in the Wide World of Web. |

| Alan Palomo, the mastermind behind Ghosthustler, has since moved on & formed Vega, and has proven that anything he touches is neon-tastic gold. What I enjoyed most about Ghosthustler’s tunes (other than its 80s-esque dancy perfection) were the unbelievably sick bass lines of Gray Gideon. When performing live Gideon played keys, and for a short time Ghosthustler brought in Shane English to play bass. English has been in other local TX bands such as the noisy, experimental pop punk trio The Undoing Of David Wright, and in another three-piece, the incredibly fast-paced punk band White Telephone, who I was fortunate enough to see in 2004 at, of all places, a high school talent show. With Gideon’s bass lines and Palomo’s catchy, 80s-fresh melodies, Ghosthustler calls for one hell of a dance party. Check out the live footage of “Parking Lot Nights,” another one of my favorite Ghosthustler tunes. | |
