Love Is My Velocity

Love Is My Velocity is proud to introduce Ghostdrums as we launch a limited edition USB release at Bar 459 at the Rosemount Hotel on Friday April 23 from 8pm.

As an eight year old learning to play the drums, Pete Guazzelli came up with an inventive way to make sure his family didn’t disown him. By draping a big white sheet (complete with eyeholes) over the top of his kit, he muffled the noise and created Ghostdrums.

After a fruitful period drumming in local bands like Fall Electric, The Kids and Gata Negra, Pete has revisited the Ghostdrums set up by building a unique machine from parts lying around the house. Combining a gold-sparkle ’60s Premiers drum kit with pedals, synths, loopers and the junk-percussion that’s been clogging up the spare room, Ghostdrums is this long-time Perth-based musician’s new solo project.

Keeping things spooky, Ghostdrums has joined forces with Melbourne artist Ghost Patrol to produce an interactive 4-track USB release that contains a bonus video for title track ‘Morning Sun’.

Ghostdrums’ experimental electronica combines intricate production with a lo-fi acoustic sound that’s as innocent and whimsical as his performance set-up.

See Ghostdrums with special guests, Rabbit Island vs Lil Leonie Lionheart and Chris Cobilis at Bar 459 at the Rosemount Hotel (Cnr Angove and Fitzgerald Streets, North Perth). Doors open at 8pm and capacity is limited,  so come early to grab one of the limited edition USBs released by Love Is My Velocity.

Ghostdrums’ self titled EP is also available digitally on itunes, emusic and the nokia music store from April 16. For a preview of the EP, check out his myspace.
