Ghost Ghost - Hey Princess
Ghost Ghost were Brooklyn’s indie freak-folk/rock band that displayed a flair for literary references (their
album No Clothes On Ragged Island was entirely about the life of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay) and proudly
included a painter (Charlie Kemmerer) and video/projection artist (Tim Bartlett) as part of their gigging team.
The band was the brainchild of Kevin Peckham (bass, synths and vocals) and Karl Ward (guitar, drums,
looping and vocals) with Mark Christensen (lead guitar and looping) rounding out the team.
