A small note about G&L: We will be playing FIRST, so try and make it out early!!!
We hope that all of you will come out and see the great show that has been put together and pay your last respects to a brilliant group of musicians as they take the stage for the final time together. Thanks for reading through this. All of the details are below:

Hello my dears,
It's been far too long in between these bulletins and I apologize. Lately, there has been so much in the lives of the Ghosts & Liars that has been shaken up, moved around and eventually thrown out that our collective heads have been a terrible mess. I'm hoping that our brief absence from the digital landscape has only made your affections for us grow just a little bit stronger. But let's move on...
So, there's a new song up on the MySpace page as of today. It's short. It's acoustic. It's live and unrehearsed. It's called Drawing Lines in Strange Places. We hope that you all enjoy it and it makes your desire for a real, finished version burn, burn, burn deep inside your hearts.
Also, we have our first show in a while tomorrow evening and it promises to be an event. The always brilliant Anathallo will be gracing Seattle with their presence and we are delighted to share the stage with them. The show is in Seattle and it's all-ages so everyone is encouraged and very much welcome to come. Here are the details and a beautiful poster:

Hello, hello, hello...
We are playing a killer all-ages show early this Thursday night at our beloved home away from home, Hell's Kitchen. Since the show is all-ages, it's starting early. So all of you that have school the next day can tell mom and dad that they don't need to worry as the show won't go that late. Also, for those of us that enjoy an adult beverage from time to time, the bar will be wide open provided you are carrying an awkward photo of yourself proving that you are above or at the age of twenty-one.
This show is a big deal for us because two of our dear, dear label buddies on SideCho Records will be playing as part of the tour they've been on for the past few weeks. These guys and gals will destroy you with their music and charm, so please come out and support us and our fellow SideCho artists and touring bands in general. Come out and show them why everyone should tour through Tacoma.
Here are the details:

Thank you to those of you that had the chance to make it to last night's show with Mr. David Bazan. It was a real treat.
I just wanted to remind you about tonight's show at the brand new Vera Project space in Seattle. You should for sure come celebrate the holiday tonight with us. We're opening the show, so please get there early! Here are the details:

Hello darlings,
It's dreary here in Tacoma today and for some unknown reason, my house is filled with a rather unpleasant odor that we have not uncovered the source of yet. I apologize if that was too much information, but it's been affecting how I look at everything all day.
In other (less alarming) news, Tacoma's own Weekly Volcano was kind enough to send out our new friend, Michael Stasiek, last week to interview myself and Rachel. Michael's sweet words about your friends here in the Ghosts & Liars Family can be found in this week's edition of the Volcano which was released today.
Just to clarify one thing mentioned in the article: Rachel does not actually believe that Molly Shannon is or ever was a member of Bright Eyes. Molly Shannon is a former cast member of NBC's late night sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live, who became popular for smelling her own armpit funk and dreaming of becoming a Superstar. Bright Eyes is the moniker of Omaha, Nebraska based singer/songwriter Conor Oberst who has risen to the forefront of the recent surge of indie/folk music with a constant stream of comparisons to artists such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young. As far as we know, they have no relation to one another in any way beyond happening to inhabit the city of New York on the exact same day, time and subway car. We apologize for any confusion...
This was all a long-winded attempt to make sure that you remember tomorrow's Ghosts & Liars show with David Bazan at Club SOTA in Tacoma. We hope to see a lot of you there. Please come say hello!
Here is a flyer with all the details and a link to a map:

| A Very Important Benefit Show (PLEASE READ!) |
[Feb. 8th, 2007|04:49 pm] |
| [ | music |
| | Kieran Hebdan & Steve Reid: "The Squid" | ] |
Hello dear friends of Ghosts & Liars,
As promised, I am back to remind you about the benefit show we are a part of this Saturday evening. We would love it if all of you could come out and show your support. Please keep read below to find out more about the benefit and for details on the show.
As many of you that live in the Tacoma area know, the Tacoma Actor's Guild (TAG), has played a vital role in establishing theatre arts in Washington for close to 30 years now. Unfortunately, as it seems to happen with most programs of an artistic nature, TAG is in danger of running out of the necessary money to keep functioning.
To help raise money, we will be taking part in a benefit show this Saturday evening that will feature local music and local improv comedy. We all realize that one benefit show is not going to save TAG in itself, but hopefully, with your help (along with the help of all of your friends that you tell to come, right?), we can put a sizable dent in their financial woes and in the process get more people interested in what TAG has to offer the community.
As an added bonus (hopefully), Ghosts & Liars will be performing this show acoustically. This is the first time we've done this, but we've been having fun working it out. We will also be the first group to perform, so please come early and stay late for all of the fun.
It would be a huge help to us and to TAG if any of you that are reading this will let as many people know about this benefit as possible. Please feel free to forward this bulletin to all of your friends on MySpace or post it in your blog or LiveJournal. Also, the flyer for the show will be included below, so feel free to post that wherever you can. Thank you!
And now, the technical details:

My friends,
Regardless of the fact that Ghosts & Liars just performed last weekend at Hell's Kitchen to a mad scattering of beautiful people like all of you, we were asked that very same evening to take part in a landmark event for our hometown of Tacoma, WA that will take place tomorrow night.
The Junkyard is Tacoma's newest all-ages venue brought to you by the same fine and dandy folks from The Hall in University Place. On Thursday, January 4th, they will present the first of many wonderful shows to come. There is nothing more emotionally satisfying than supporting local artists and local venues, especially that of the all-ages persuasion, so I urge you to come show your support, even if it means you have to break some sort of ridiculous curfew.
I now present you with all of the details. Please use them wisely and effectively.

Hey hey hey,
In the midst of all of your panicked, electricity-free holiday shopping, I sincerely hope that you will take a few hours out of your Saturday evening and spend some time with us. If nothing in this world has convinced you to attend tomorrow night's extravaganza, here are the top four reasons to attend this particular show.
Top 4 Reasons To Head To The Paradox on December 16, 2006
1) This will be Ghosts & Liars' first show within the Seattle city limits. (PSSSST: We go on at 7:15 PM)
2) The show will mark the last time the two sweethearts that are Make Believe Productions will host an event at the The Paradox.
3) Besides having the chance to watch us play, the show will feature four amazing local groups (Speaker Speaker, BOAT, Shorthand For Epic, Patience Please) that we are certainly more than honored to be sharing a stage with.
4) Look at this shit: $8.00, ALL-AGES, 7:00 PM
Want directions? You're in luck!
Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.
Love, love, love,
Chris and his merry band of Ghosts & Liars. |

Hey dears,
I woke up early this morning and have been looking longingly at the holiday ads in the Sunday newspaper at various things I won't be able to purchase for myself or for anyone and daydreaming of sword-swiping someone with a Wii controller...or something...
Myself and the rest of the Ghosts & Liars had a great time this past Friday at the urbanXchange show. I know we were all very nervous to be debuting that much new music and all of your sweet faces, wonderful applause and the fact that so many of you stuck around to chat with us made each one of us feel like warm PopTart filling inside. Thank you very much to those of you that braved a Friday night on Pacific Avenue in Tacoma to come see us. Also, a huge thank you to Sena Kim for working so hard to put the show together and for spreading the word.
If any of you were able to snap a series of photos of the show, we would be supremely grateful to have any of those in our possession. Please feel free to e-mail any photos and/or comments/questions to ask@ghostsandliars.com.
Again, thank you so much for everything. You make us smile.
Love,
Chris. |

Dear, dear friends,
So, how's the weather? Were you stuck at your house all day? Did you wake up early as hell to go to school or work only to find out that there was absolutely no point whatsoever? Yeah, me too...
However, the end of this week will hopefully warm your heart a little as the rest of the Ghosts & Liars crew and I will present our first ever show in our home base of Tacoma, Washington. While it feels kind of sudden and nerve-wracking, we are all pretty damn excited and hope to see a bunch of you there to help celebrate this with us.

Good Morning Early Risers,
I thought we might treat you to an early morning surprise (well, it's somewhat early here on the west coast) and drop one of our new demos into your lap.
Just imagine that you are waking up in your comfortable bed or on whatever couch you might have passed out on last night to myself and the rest of the Ghosts & Liars family bearing a tray filled with orange juice, cereal, pancakes, veggie sausage, toast and a new song to brighten your morning.
I'll post a little more information about this later on in the afternoon for everyone, but for now head on over to the Ghosts & Liars MySpace profile and enjoy! Make sure you tell all your friends to visit too. We would love to have them over!
Love,
Chris. |

Hello friends,
I have to tell you that waking up this morning to frost all over the yard in front of my house gave me a burst of happiness I am almost embarrassed to admit. There have been so many changes surrounding me recently that it felt good to see one that I'd been waiting for all year. But anyway...
Tomorrow morning, we will be hopping on a Halloween plane and making our way to New York City for the CMJ Music Marathon and the first Ghosts & Liars show ever. I'm sad that we won't be doing the first show anywhere even remotely close to home, but it's also incredibly exciting to know that in a little over 48 hours we will be performing in NYC.
For those of you that live close to New York, here are the details of our show as we would be honored to have you present:
WHAT: SideCho Records CMJ Showcase
WHEN: November 1, 2006 | Doors @ 7pm, Show @ 8pm
WHO: Peachcake, Blinded Black, Tokyo Rose, The Spores, Ghosts & Liars, 1090 Club.
WHERE: Arlene's Grocery [95 Stanton Street | New York, NY] [Yahoo! Map]
I don't believe that I'll be taking my laptop with me, so there probably won't be any updates on the MySpace for a few days. Also, if you write and I don't get back to you for a few days, forgive me. However, I will do my best to keep a journal each day and post it on here as soon as we get home.
I hope that everything is going great for all of you. Feel free to send messages whenever you can to say hello or ask any questions you might have. I love hearing from you so much. We will see all of you very soon.
Love,
Chris & the Ghosts & Liars. |

Hello friends,
Is anyone else out there as excited as I am at the prospect of wearing a stupid amount of scarves, sweaters and big coats for the next five months? I think I've been ready since May to get back to the cold weather and dreariness that I cherish and adore. I realize that the temperature doesn't drop in all places as drastically as it does here in Washington this time of year, so for those of you in warm weather climates, please forgive the ridiculous nature of my question.
But let's move on, because finally, we've got some big news:
.:ACT ONE:.
A Home for Ghosts & Liars!
This past week, it was made official that the wonderful people at SideCho Records, who released the last Some By Sea record, will also be releasing the first record from your friends here in Ghosts & Liars. Here is what SideCho had to say in their press release:
"SideCho Records is proud to announce their recent signing of Ghosts & Liars. Ghosts & Liars features Chris Du Bray and Rachel Bowman, both of who are already familiar with the label. SideCho Records was home to Chris and Rachel's former band, Some By Sea, and the new music will be a pleasant surprise for fans of the now-defunct band. Ghosts & Liars will be playing this year's SideCho Records CMJ Showcase that is to take place at Arlene's Grocery (95 Stanton St., NYC) on November 1. The debut album will follow in Spring 2007."
.:ACT TWO:.
Shows? Wait, Wait, Wait...Shows?
Yes! Some of you might have noticed that our first show will be taking place in New York City at this year's CMJ Music Marathon. It might seem weird to perform our first show three thousand miles away from home and welllllllll...we think it's a little weird and possibly frightening as well, but it should be a lot of fun. For those of you in New York, we hope that you will come out and see us along with all of the other great SideCho artists performing with us.
However, we will be coming back and doing our first local show at our home base in Tacoma, WA on December 1st, so whatever you have planned for that day, cancel it, reschedule it and come spend an evening with us.
We might have a couple more shows in the works before the end of 2006 and we will let you know as soon as all the details are set. As always, make sure to check back on the MySpace for all of the show updates.
.:ACT THREE:.
Sleazy Pictures...
This week, we uploaded a couple of new photos for you to enjoy. For some reason, both feature me on a bed, so I will allow you to interpret that however you would like to, but make sure you stop by and leave a fresh comment.
I'm fairly certain we've reached the conclusion of this performance of Ghosts & Liars news. I truly hope that you will come back and visit often. Have an excellent week.
Love,
Chris. |
