Always looking for a challenge, Ken gets Ringo with the racket, and Bryan melts down all the guitars and bass into his acoutic guitar.

Definitely being for the benefit of everyone from Mean Mr. Mustard to Her Majesty.

Please see our gigs page for the next Abbey shows.

Brevard Live Music Magazine honored ghostbeat with the 2005 E.A.R. Award! That stands for Excellence in Audio Recording, which means that the quality and quantity of music recorded and released is above and beyond the call of duty - that's our story anyway! You can decide for yourself from the samples on our albums page.

Special Thanks to Brevard Live Magazine, Chris Long and all our supporters! The Awards ceremony was Sunday night July 30 at the Henegar Center in Melbourne, Florida, and ghostbeat was humbled to be in the company of many great talents representing the area.

Also, like Ken wasn't gonna get laid that night anyway, in his speech he gave kudos to "band wives" everywhere for their undying support!

What a Racket!
Lately Ken has incorporated his "racket" into his full drum kit; make sure you don't miss this groundbreaking percusive achievement. Don't worry, his ashika and djembe aren't going away either.
Check our shows page to see when you can experience ghostbeat's latest flavors!

Bad Day. That's the name of the short film recently made by ghostbeat accessory-member Paul Marquis. It's completion is drawing near as Bryan and Paul work diligently on the soundtrack and accompanying song. Stay tuned here for a possible mp3 sampling of their adventures, and details on the availability of the film/DVD.

Wow! Ray Allaire's Feb. 5th show was sold out and went great! Check his site for details, or go straight to a review. There's a photo below and some more inserted in the slide show on the home page.
Some ghostbeat fans are perplexed when they hear that Bryan and Ken joined a country band, but once they see Ray's show and hear the music they know why. Don't wait next time - get your tickets before they sell out again! There are more shows coming so check back for more info.

New review. Brevard Live has graced ghostbeat once again with a CD review - this time for our piano compilation, ghostbeat five. Check it out!

01-02-05
Rev up the buzz rooms! Latest CD Got It features 5 previously unreleased precious rockers along with the 2001 release Not Gonna Get It.
These 5 tracks were begrudgingly left off of Water and have now received the digital remaster treatment, and are awaiting your approval. So theoretically, they sound better than the album they were left off of. Hmmm, what would Water sound like remastered?...

A Joyous and Spiffy New Year to all! Hang on everyone, another great year is just around the corner!
Sure, we all miss Ken and Bryan playing out, but they're keeping very busy preparing for the Feb 5 show with Ray Allaire. You can get show tickets online here. With dancers, video, motorcycles, a skit, and other theatrics, it's promising to be quite a show at Florida Institute of Technology's Gleason Auditorium in Melbourne, Florida. Ray is an extraordinary writer/performer, check out his versions of country / rock / pop from his site or some of the stations giving him exposure.

Ghostbeat Live at Murdock's
Tuesday July 13, 6-10pm
Come on out to Cocoa Village after work for our debut show at Murdock's. Old and new songs, covers and originals for several very happy hours. Ken will even have the new "Racket" Stomp-inspired wall of percussion. Hope to see you there!

05-18-04
Where's the ghostbeat?
We're not really hiding. Bryan is in deep rehearsal with the Ray Allaire Band with the upcoming release of Ray's new album. Ken can be seen playing with a variety of bands in the Melbourne area, spreading his incredible percussive finesse throughout the county. Sessions are underway for ghostbeat's upcoming album, "old friend surprise." And they still pop in for an occasional cameo spot at several local venues, testing out some of their new material. Not to mention their rhythms of the ages events for the community. Weel that's a good start on the list.
If you really miss them, you can book them for your own party! They miss you too.
Look for more live shows soon.

Happy New Year all you Roman calendar fans!
Maybe it seems you haven't been running into ghostbeat out there as much, but we've been about in many endeavours. We've been enjoying playing live at many private and corporate gatherings, contact us - we'd love to meet you and play for you!
Ken is introducing lots of new material with his "racket," (pictured left) a conglomeration of percussive noise making items hung in a fashion inspired by Stomp's wall of percussion.

Bryan and Ken have been laying tracks down for Ray Allaire's debut album. Bryan is now officially Ray's bass player/backup singer, and Ken his unplugged percussionist extraordinaire when needed. There are some pictures below, and one from a K92FM (Orlando) on air performance

Randall Addington, Bryan, and Ray live on K92FM.

right here. Ray is incredibly talented and going places in the music biz - check out more details from his website, or this cool rockumentary.

Also sessions are underway now for a new ghostbeat album, old friend surprise. it will be the first album ever for just bryan and ken together, and the first new material for ghostbeat since october 2001's not gonna get it.

Come on out to Cocoa Beach Oceanfront Holiday Inn and spend New Year's Eve with us - and Buck 32! We start at 7:30pm with lots of ghostbeat goodies. We may even break out our unplugged K.C. & the Sunshine Band medley for the occasion. And don't miss Ken's new "Stomp" wall of percussion!
Of course it's your last chance to see us this year, and your first chance to see us next year - so you'll be getting 2 things done at once!

We had a great time playing outside on some of Florida's first fall-like days this year. The Farmer's Market and Langford Park shows were fun - be on the lookout for more of those to come! Thanks to Michael Barry for including us at those events.

Thanks for coming out to the recent Crickets show on July 18, once again with Ray Allaire, John Whalen, and ghostbeat. Ray played unplugged this time and Ken sat in on djembe and percussion! Those show pictures are to the left with Ray, Ken, Bryan, John, and Randall Addington (also from the Ray Allaire Band).

05-19-03
Thanks Everyone
Nearly $6000 was raised for massive brain stem stroke victim Frank Todd Gurnick! Crickets was packed and plentiful, as well as some outstanding and astounding sets by Ray Allaire and John Whalen, and ghostbeat. Check out Ray's stuff - it's so powerful catchy that Bryan is playing bass and singing backup with him.


07-23-02
Show Down
Our show with the Temenos Ensemble went great - even if you missed us you should still go check out the interactive theatre there at Joe's NYC Bar with other cool bands. It's a play in a bar about people in a bar with a band, we played the band in the bar, and in the play. It's the same play but different every time, and you can make the difference. Go figure it out!
