Band History:
The roots of figure like ghost go back to pre-teen years and primary school days in the sun (and rain) yes that's rite, David and Luke jammed at David's house when they were about nine! And started their first ever band in 1999 called crash with guitarist john bishop. David and Luke would always talk about the fame to come. Childish thoughts of touring the world…Crash played one gig at a talent contest and won by playing a song you may even recognise now, Crash. But as the days of play time were coming to a end (and john bishop locking himself in toilets) they realised they would have to split, David and Luke going to different schools and all….
So time passed and the times of such bands like chilblain and various other bands came, and went, I suppose we took these times as experience.
I could say fate brought us back together or luck whichever it was a good thing. In what must have been May 2004 Luke and David met up again at a school reunion thingy, Luke mentioned that they should jam sometime and that they did, Luke got his brother to play guitar( he had been in some of Luke's bands before) And so I think the band was formed, in the first practice they played crash and a new song Dates For Diaries, it sounded good so it was decided upon. So In the summer 2004 countless hours were spent getting songs together for cancelled gigs(just our luck)
Embassy stoned as they were known then played their first gig at Luke's friends house in what must have been July and it was rather good. Luke's friend Sam offered to record them (Sam also linking from the past as gave Luke some lessons and inspiration when he was 9) so they, Luke, Joe and Dave recorded a CD in July with songs like Minature, Crash, A Dream and others. After that the band played in strange places such as a national trust car park with a DIY PA.
Embassy Stoned played another gig in August at Fred's which was filmed so on and so forth, Until a gig that never happened were various problems such as a fall out between Dave and Luke came, I suppose it wasn't really a fall out they just never talked for a while, Luke assuming Dave wasn't in the band anymore.
Embassy Stoned went through a so called dark patch of various members and change over a 6 month period which surprisingly nothing really happened.
Luke got a new friend Den to join the band as second guitarist and it was going well so for like 3 months they never really had a singer(no offence to anyone)
In the middle of a short break out of know were, just thought, Luke rung Dave and they chatted like old women for like a hour and they agreed that Dave should still be in (after telling everyone that he had died in a car crash in various places) so it was to be the band as it is and always will be, I hope, stll getting stronger, tighter and better, oh and I forgot we changed our name from embassy stoned(or embassy stone as Dave called it) to figure like ghost.
Peace
