Keep On Dancin'

ghostland_observatory.jpgGhostland Observatory is made up of two guys from Austin. Thomas Turner dances around the stage wearing a get-up that looks like American Indian meets '70's hippie while Aaron Behrens wears a Dracula cape and plays the drums. There are colorful laser lights everywhere, and that's just their stage show. The title of their latest album, Robotique Majestique is a good indication of what the soundtrack is like: electro pop of the future, a very groovy future.

They play the Metro tonight with DJ sets by Mister Wolf. 3730 N. Clark St. 773-549-0203. 18 & up. Tickets are $25, get them at the Metro's website. Show starts at 9pm.

"The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
