Every so often a band plays a venue much smaller than the capacity of their usual tour circuit, and this is exactly the case for the scheduled show at the Aggie Theater for Ghostland Observatory. The electronic two-peice most recently opened for Sound Tribe Sector 9 at Red Rocks this past September; the date almost managed to sell out the 9,500 seat capacity of the venue. Back in June they played the Westward Music Festival in Denver and likewise packed the 1,200 person Ogden Theater in last November. Least to say the 500 person capacity Aggie Theater is an unusually small venue for a Ghostland Tour.
The act hails from the musical Mecca of Austin Texas and has released three albums since their inception into the music scene in 2004. A new album is due out sometime in the next six months. Their music is categorized as Electro-Rock or Electro-Dance with soul and funk influences. Aaron Behrens sings the vocal lines as well as playing guitar, while Thomas Ross mixes beats, plays drums and creatively uses synthesizers to add multiple layers to their music. Their lives shows are known for onstage dancing and an impressive lazer show.
Ghostland Observatory has played a wide variety of festivals world wide and undergone several national tours. They are however new to Fort Collins and the show should easily sell out so purchasing tickets in advance is highly recomended.
