Ghost Motor, LIVE! (Live Friday 027)

Ghost Motor is a local Portland duo that bills themselves as a mix of Industrial, Punk & Psychedellic rock music, and upon listening it’s hard to argue with them. Influences run from Sisters of Mercy, Ministry (nearly all eras of the band), and a touch of Legendary Pink Dots via Skinny Puppy. Live guitar & bass give you something to watch and groove on live, but the programming and sequencing is up there with the best, and creates an aural ambience that sounds like it should have come out in the late ’80’s. Fortunately for us, they choose to bring it to us in the here and now.
