Raveup with Ghostland Observatory at Flamingo Cantina Friday

Fusing filthy-gorgeous streams of artful patter to staccato jets of vocal mayhem, Ghostland Observatory blows up with a non-stop dance party Friday at Austin’s gritty reggae cellar, Flamingo Cantina. GLO evokes the seventies underground art-beat of Georgio Moroder, Sparks, Metal Urbain while infusing it with the dirtier glitter of Bowie, Eno, Mud, and Prince. Bring your diamonds, fishnet stockings, and dancehall spirit: it’s going to be a decadent time. Dallas group The Veldt, Haunting Oboe Music, The Mercers, and DJ Erin join.

Ghostland Observatory releases their latest album, Paparrazi Lightning, January 21, 2006 on Trashy Moped.

Come down early and check out the Bad Rackets Happy Hour show with Deadly Companions at Beerland at 7pm. We'll be done before the doors open at Flamingo Cantina.

dear austinist,

we get it. you have a massive hard-on for GLO. after the first 900 writeups about them, we weren't so sure. but now we are. so just cool it now.
