An Evening In With The Jackal! - The Crimson Ghosts Interview

Hi, who are we speaking to and how are you on this fine day?

You are speaking to the Jackal. I am fine so far but pretty hungry…I will hunt for prey later…

Your role in The Crimson Ghosts?

I am guitarist and doing the backup vocals. Besides that I produced all our outputs in my own “Casket garden” studio and did the layout of both our albums

Who completes the band?

The Reverend beats the hell out of the drums, Vlad sings the lead vocals and Monstro plays bass

How has the year been for TCG?

It was pretty successful! we released our 2nd album, signed an endorsement contract with northern California based custom guitar company MONSON GUITARS (http://www.monsonguitars.com/) and got our own custom Picks from PYRAMID, played a lot of really cool shows, met new people…yeah…we hope that 2007 will be at least as good for us as 2006!

Any New Years Resolutions?

Yeah, being more undead than in the old year!

What does the coming year hold for the band?

From January 1st on we work with the well known booking agency M.A.D. which hopefully will result in serious touring. Besides that we already wrote material for our coming album. Who knows what else will happen…

This has always bugged me, did you start as a misfits surf tribute or is there another crimson ghosts?

We started as a misfits cover band in deed, but we are not the US surf tribute band. They just use the same name as we do…so far you are the first person who asked us about that other band, hahaha

I can´t name just one! That’s like you should tell someone which of your children you like most….but what are your personal highlights of THE CRIMSON GHOSTS?

Do you like to resign to the backstage or get among the fans?
