JP Shilo of hungry ghosts opening for Because of Ghosts this Sat at the EAST BRUNSWICK!
The hungry ghosts are one of the greatest bands i have ever heard. I just got my hands on a copy of the alone alone album today. It's far more fucking incredible than i remembered. The J.p Shilo album makes me say "awesome" too. His launch at manchester lane was one of the best gigs i have seen in years. It's going to be a hard one to beat.
I have Alone,Alone and the S/T.. both fucking amazing.. will upload on Monday for you.
Does anyone know what Jezza (Jason) from Hungry Ghosts is doing these days? Last I heard he was in Adelaide.
i have the debut ep courtesy of filterfeed. i also have a self titled album. they were a great band.

J.P. Shilo, formerly known as John Brooks, is best known for his work with the instrumental group Hungry Ghosts. Hungry Ghosts imploded in 2000 and, reconnecting with his interest in Tibetan Buddhism, J.P. Shilo spent three years at a Buddhist residential centre during which time he continued to record his ideas onto a 4-track. These songs came to the attention of Steve Shelley from Sonic Youth who offered to release them on his label Smells Like Records as J.P. Shilo’s first solo release, ‘As Happy As Sad is Blue’. In recent years, J.P. Shilo has lent his multi-instrumental talents to legendary Australian band The Black Eyed Susans. While many will look for easy comparisons, this is heart-stopping music without a clear genre. Fragile in its minimalist beauty, yet able to suddenly burst open with stabbing intensity.
These songs came to the attention of Steve Shelley from Sonic Youth.. ummm, I think the attention was already well and truly there prior to this..
Self-titled CD available here.
And this thread reminds me, I must get Alone, Alone
Its a great album riche. Was listening to it again recently. Smells Like still have it in stock from memory.
Wow, didn't realise it was still available. Yeah, it is an amazing album, this is a second copy I'm selling - couldn't part with it altogether! (and I don't use iTunes / iPod etc)
Cd available here.
Ok I'm on the lookout for their first self titled debut. Anyone willing to donate this online somehow, sendspace or something?
i might be able to help you out there DR
sorry dreamland, didn't get a chance to do this over the holidays.
Thats ok, from what I've heard about this disc it is worth the wait
i've got a handmade version of that first ep but a while back i saw a digipack version on ebay. was this re-issued somewhere along the line?
i have the s/t handmade ep and a digipak, which is also s/t, which i thought was of album length. mostly black cover from memory. it's been years since i looked at this stuff, can't recall specifics. sorry.
Hungry Ghosts ''Peak''.

amazing clip/music
Love that song.
the song that totally slays me is ''trying to lift a rock with a bottle on your head'', a total
heart-wrencher. as angry anderson almost said once it can't be beaten.
