Wow! I have known about this for a couple of weeks and was readily waiting for a formal “denouncement” from them:
For reasons both creative and life changing, I have decided to leave Ghosthustler and move on. Amidst these circumstances my bandmates have deemed it necessary to carry on without me; I wish them the best of luck. Expect great things to continue being released from the Ghosthustler name and from my new project in the near future.
See you soon, Alan Palomo
Dentron’s well hyped, retro-electro dance band, GHOSTHUSTLER have called it a day. Sort of, but its pretty much a done deal in my eyes. Lead singer Alan Palomo will develop himself into greatness, while the other two lads will attempt to go on as GHOSTHUSTLER? Yeah it sucks. Their final show was this past Thursday at the Palladium Ballroom for QUICK’s Next Big Thing Awards Show. The only ghost now will be of Alan. I have not witnessed this much warranted attention for a local band in years. What a genuine loss to the DFW music community.
So the Ghosthustler live set at Kettle Art on May 10th will now be a dj set by Alan Palomo.
POF will be having some shows this summer (and onward) at CLUB DADA. POF will still be using Pastime Tavern, Double-Wide and other various spaces for shows as well.
