they should have focused the camera more on the piano man playing!.... after all that's what the song is called PIANO MAN! over all their music is really awesome though :)
I just got an email from AEG Live Access promoting bands, and this "group" was in their weekly email. It was the only one in the email. So thinking it looked interesting and having never heard of Ghostland Observatory before, I youtubed the name and found this. I'm now crying whilst writing this message, hoping that the horrible voice will stop singing before I have the chance to finish writing this review and close the window....
what a horrible...horrible musical experience this was...
I like the fact their totally garage just beat boxing piano lyrics and some funky retro weird beats in the simple notes it mock all that music stands for;;in other is so ugly is AWESOME I like it something new finally,..............

yeah, it aint that great...but "piano man" is an awful song! It has that same, struggling to be nostalgic, and dramatic kind of melody that that shitty fucking Don Mclean "american Pie" song has. You can't write a song like that unless your going to add a little bit of bitter sweet melancholy by implementing a minor chord or two. Im sorry, but the "DA, DE, DA part is not enough to save the song. A good Billy Joel song would be "still Rock & Roll
I think their music is great it really stands out from the rest. There were a few negative comments about the bands apearrance and dancing, i think all these things define who they are its like a finger print it seperates you from everyone else, who's going to remember you if you dance, dress and wear your hair just like that average band. But thats just my opinon.
I am beyond proud to second what you just said secret machines, i just saw the interview where hes wearing the veggie heaven shirt i was like wtf?!?! hahah go ATX MUSIC
I love the music, but his dance moves are a little odd. He's got a lot of energy, (more than I can say of the guy on the synth) and with some dance classes and around half as much hair, I could definitely see them as being a very hot group.

Thanks for the insightful question!!! I really do truly enjoy most delightfully smashing and listening to the tender sounds of I hope ghostfag music never ever existed. And I never understood why a brick would care about any painting when his job is to be part of a REAL structure!!! ZAPPA
pulajean,No I don't like it I just truly don't understand how ANYONE possibly could. Really..... I had the misfortune of seeing that Austin City Limits mess and just wondered when it would be over. I can appreciate "if you don't like it, then don't watch it," but I felt it was my duty to actually tell these 2 punks that they are the worst sounding and looking act I have ever seen in my life,
I hope so. I never thought I'd dig them when I saw them on Austin City Limits, but I never switched the channel. I DVR'd it and watched it about a dozen times since then.
I thought block party sucked but when these queers came on they made block party look like they where the best stare at your shoes group I had ever seen, oh yeah I forgot......FART RIP SCREAM
I enjoyed a their Austin, Tx live concert on PBS New Years Eve. I like their energy; like nothing I have ever heard or seen before. I do not care for mainstream anything and these guys are definitely not mainstream.
It was like watching a cat get run over by my little brothers ford pinto in non mainstream kiddie music school for parents of autistic musician children. HAHAHAHAHAHHEHEHE PPPPEEEEEEEE YOUUUU
Just a little too narcissistic for my tastes. And, all of his songs sound pretty much the same. Not bad i suppose if you like high pitched screaming.....
that's your opinion, but you can't call someone narcissistic just because he/she can get up their and give it. Is every band with a lead singer a narcissist then? Down this road, anyone who wants to perform must be a narcissist.
His singing is harsh, but that's a matter of taste.
