Ghastly Ones
Hailing from Van Nuys, California these swingin' undertakers took their inspiration from the hopped up sounds of early sixties surf and hotrod outfits like The Lively Ones, Avengers VI, The Del-Aires, New Dimensions and the Fender IV and mixed it with their obsession with late night monster movies, Halloween records and Screaming Lord Sutch to patent their own brand of "spooky surf".
In 1997 The Ghastly Ones recorded their debut album "A-Haunting we will Go-Go", which was released world-wide by Geffen Records.

Taken from their Facebook page (not that it does them justice because they're a much loved band originally from Liverpool that were too lazy to take over the world!) - "Post punk quirk with a modicum of yelp. Their sentiment and melodies will walk with you always. Hometown: Made originally in Liverpool but they now prowl the world." Taken from band website - "The Liverpudlian garage punk behemoths it's okay to snog during your first date" (NME)
