Ghosties at the Space on a Ukulele

Headed down to the Space Tuesday night for the first time in a while. They've remodelled since I was last there, taking out the wall opening the space up considerably. I'm told they just started doing happy hour during the week between 7-9 with drinks half off. They've also put in an elevated stage, though as you'll see not everyone uses it.



Devin Gallagher, AKA: Ghosties, played a solo set on a ukulele. He was just back from a trip to Vancouver BC for a musif festival and I guess they are weird about letting musicians in to the coutry with a lot of instruments without a work permit so a uke was just the thing. It was a cool, intimate show. Devin set up a chair in the middle of the room and played without amplification. Of course, the lighting wasn't great which had an impact on my video, but not the music. The above is an original Ghosties song. He also played and Elec Morin cover I captured:



Ghosties has a new album dropping on Jun 19th. It will be on the new High Scores and Records label Devin is launching. One of the original forces behind Boy Gorilla, the new label is focusing on vinyl releases and digital downloads. The new album is called "hone o oru".
