Ghostland Observatory Halloween Show at The Bomb Factory Dallas
When: October 31st 7PM
What: Tickets are flying fast for the annual Ghostland Observatory Halloween concert in Dallas. This year, it’s taking place at the popular concert venue The Bomb Factory and as of now, VIP tickets are sold out and GA are going quickly. Ghostland Observatory’s entire approach to music – sonically, aesthetically, conceptually – is essentially a melding of the two distinctly different personalities of its two members, Thomas Ross Turner and Aaron Behrens. Whereas Turner, the producer/drummer/keyboardist of the duo, finds solace in the minimal, bleak cable-patch squawks of Karlheinz Stockhausen and the analog-disco-thump of Giorgio Moroder, Behrens’ interests lie more along the lines of psychedelia, rock and various country and blues artists.
