"The true tequila-guzzlin' sounds of Texxxas!" exclaims Razorcake Magazine, which sums up the music and attitude behind Texas-based Ghoultown. Their latest release LIVE FROM TEXAS! continues to hone their unique heavy western sound, which has brought attention from both fans and press alike since their inception in 1999. In addition to four CD releases, Ghoultown's dark western dirges and unmistakable presence have found their way into five movie soundtracks, a short film, numerous compilations, and even a video game. Formed in 1999… Ghoultown's dark western dirges and unmistakable presence have found their way into four CD releases, five movie soundtracks, a short film, a video game, numerous compilations, and even a comic book. Their first release, BOOTS OF HELL, introduced the band's Tex-Mex punk rock style, while garnering rabid reviews, a fanbase and independent radio airplay. The band's early buzz also landed them on several compilations; the most notable being Skully Records' ROCKIN' NECROPOLIS where they share the bill with some of the best independent psychobilly acts around the world. In early 2001… Ghoultown released their full-length debut, TALES FROM THE DEAD WEST. The album, produced by Kol Marshall (Mercyful Fate, Roller), captured the versatility of the Texan quintet from the powerful “Killer in Texas” to the haunting climax of “Running From the Sun.” “This album already has a place on my best of 2001 list,” quoted a Harder Beat reviewer who reflected the response as a whole. Not only were ears turned, but eyes as well as the release pushed the band into new live show territory. With highlight performances such as an Atlanta benefit, which featured Jerry Only of the legendary Misfits as an onstage guest, Ghoultown has played with a wide variety of bands such as Hank III, Rocket From the Crypt, The Independents, DRI, Bile, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Flametrick Subs, Dick Dale, Road Kings, Rock City Morgue, Blitzkid, Men of Porn, Captured By Robots, and The Misfits. By 2002… Ghoultown also invaded the film world when four of their tunes were chosen for the soundtrack of the horror-slasher, AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, starring Debbie Rochon (TROMEO & JULIET). As a testament to their memorable live show, the movie script was subsequently altered to include a Ghoultown performance cameo after the director witnessed the band live. In the spring of 2002, not only did the band release their follow-up GIVE 'EM MORE ROPE, but also signed a licensing deal with Netherlands-based Corazong Records to release the Ghoultown U.S. catalog in Europe and Canada. By late summer, the band hit the road for a 35 date U.S. tour which included performances all the way from NY's CBGBs to The Garage in L.A. The tour concluded with a performance at one of the world's largest annual entertainment media conventions, Dragon*Con in Atlanta, where the band has performed twice by popular demand. Hitting 2003… Ghoultown's signature tune “Killer In Texas” made yet another appearance in a short film called HEADCHEESE which was released on DVD with the movie FREAK. Appropriately, HEADCHEESE was filmed in the same location as TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE... house and all! Spending the first half of 2003 performing, the band toured the midwest and east coast, in addition to numerous Texas area shows. By the end of spring, Ghoultown completed work on songs for two more Jon Keeyes films, SLICE OF LIFE and HALLOW'S END, the later in which they will also made a cameo appearance. In 2004… Ghoultown released a double disc set, LIVE FROM TEXAS!, which showcased their powerful live show on both CD and DVD. "Ghoultown puts the grit back into rock 'n' roll with a blazing hellfire vengeance!" said Horror Garage in praise of the release, which has garnered extremely positive feedback and become the best selling release to date. Also in 2004, the band managed to creep into the video game market where several of their actual gig posters can be seen in the award-winning VAMPIRE MASQUERADE: BLOODLINES PC game. Currently… the band is supporting their new release BURY THEM DEEP on Zoviet Records.
