Most of us by now, are more than familiar with that song of 2007... the one that officially got the indie electro (disco) ball rolling in the USA and symbolized the unison between the indie pop of the past and the new wave of lo fi distorto dance of Naughties. It was the song that got Kanye West into a tizzy and the masses passionately hugging one and other on the dance floor across the globe and still to this day. Yes, Justice vs Simian's We Are Your Friends not only paved the way for "new rave" but was also symbolic of the collective creations (from original to remix) of some of the most influential key figures in this resurgence of rock/pop and electro today. Justice as we all know, are the new Parisian dance pioneers and Simian Mobile Disco are the UK equivalent, both have paved the way on dance floors with their unique and raw rhythms across the world, causing a ruckus for music lovers and critics alike. Simian on the other hand, was the original incarnation; a brit pop band from the 90's who actually wrote and recorded the orginal song "We Are Your Friends". Since splitting up the lads have reincarnated into many influential entities. James Ford (S.M.D) went on to produce albums for Klaxons and Arctic Monkeys (both Mercury Prize winning artists) and partnered up with Jas for Simian Mobile Disco. Simon Lord on the other hand, has teamed up with an equally talented force and is about to unleash a new kind of electro upon us here in the USA this Halloween. Lord, the voice of the aforementioned and modern "We Are Your Friends" has teamed up with Theo Keating (formerly of The Wiseguys) to create The Black Ghosts. This musical force not only as DJ's with VOX but as a full band as well and what they offer live and on their soon to be released EP, is a collection of high energy & haunting powered electro pop, tunes to sing your heart out to and stomp your feet in the process. Music, to me, has to have a certain atmosphere, whether it s about pain or happiness, says Theo. So if you feel your world could do with an undercurrent of intrigue - or your discotheque needs haunting - just call The Black Ghosts.
