New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Plexi PR) Friday, April 1 - HOLY GHOST! Afterparty (DJ Set) & Drek Martinez
Holy Ghost! just embarked on a grand North American tour with Aussie pals Cut Copy, but they're returning to their hometown of NYC to grace LAVO with an intimate DJ set after their Terminal 5 show. Holy Ghost!'s debut hit single "
Hold On" came out in 2007, but Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser go way back to their elementary school years; and by high school, their hip hop outfit Automato was signed by Capitol Records. After a brief stint apart, the duo reformed as Holy Ghost! and, after releasing "Hold On," on DFA Records in 2007, promptly found themselves traveling the world as some of the most in-demand DJs, with remix requests from Moby, MGMT and Cut Copy. Holy Ghost!'s 2010 four-song EP, 'Static on the Wire,' featured appearances by Juan Maclean and Caroline Polachek of Chairlift, and showcased the depth of their love for dance music across genres, as well as their ability blend the old - from '70s and '80s funk-inflected R&B to glittery disco to synthy new wave - and the new. Holy Ghost!'s highly anticipated first full length comes out April 12th, and includes their already ubiquitous first single "Do It Again," as well as guest appearances from Luke Jenner from the Rapture, Chris Glover from Penguin Prison, and Michael McDonald. They recently released the album's second single "Wait & See" for free download
