On July 1st, 2011, Bay Area chamber rock band Ghost and the City brought their A-game to a packed Independent to celebrate the release of their whiskey soaked new album, Sazerac. The album is actually available for full download for free right here. Sazerac feels like an avalanche took Leonard Cohen, Murder by Death, and Tom Waits and combined it into a confident and threatening act that sounds like no-other.
We were proud to witness their record release in all it’s glory, with special appearances of Picture Atlantic’s Nik Bartunek and Definite Articles’ Shawn Alpay.
