REVIEWS OF FAJA BLUES:
"Suddenly, you’re reminded of the way that the Velvet Underground (or perhaps more accurately, post-Velvets indie pioneers like Yo La Tengo and The Feelies) could take a simple, ostensibly uncomplicated idea and make something oddly insistent and urgent out of it...In the end, Cassavetes’ most impressive accomplishment of all might be the fact that they get a vibe across with a minimum of discernible “attitude.” That alone is an achievement worthy of high praise in today’s indie-rock universe." ---- Limewire Music Blog
"...one of the better ones to drop during that time was Cassavetes‘ newest,Faja Blues. Robert Horlick has this raw, emotional, almost magical quality to his music that seems unquantifiable yet potent." ---------- Davey Minor, Ohmpark.com

Atlanta's indie band Ghost Party formed in 2009 when Patrick Boggs (drums, loops), Henry Watts (bass) and Jonathan Whiteside (wurlitzer, synthesizers) began writing electronic dance music as an instrumental trio. After recording a handful of demos, the band's producer Bruce Butkovich (The Futura Bold, Brain Box) introduced them to Marium Khalid (vocals) whose vocal style was the perfect contrast to their music. Realizing they'd found the "right combination", the foursome started writing new songs together and Ghost Party was born.
Conjuring the spirit of classic 1980's electronic bands, Ghost Party crafts their own style of dark, percussive dance floor grooves weaved with sensual and playful vocals sung in English, Urdu, Hindi and French.

The Bears of Blue River are friends with day jobs who began gathering in the evenings to make silly noises in a dilapidated old apartment with wooden floors. Soon they found themselves playing folk diddies dressed up with some Bop about them. Their roots define them as Hoosiers but currently they are split between Chicago, Indianapolis, and Erie, Pennsylvania.
They are simple folks but with one request....
