***Questions for the band***
#1 What's with the band name?
I used to read The Phantom comic books as a child and Ghost Who Walks was the nickname the jungle people fondly called the Phantom. Its also a play on words we are all just ghosts walking after all, right?
#2 Who’s in the band and what instruments do they play?
Ghost Who Walks is:
Josh Dominikovich- Drums, Vocals.
Henry Smithers- Bass Guitar, Bass Synth.
Hunter Paranihi- Guitar, Keys.
Sam Fowles- Guitar, Vocals.
#3 What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences? Funky, Electric Voodoo, Blues. We are very Much influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gary Clark Jr and Fat Freddys drop to name a few
#4 How long have you all known each other? How did you meet?
Josh and Henry used to flat together, though I first met Henry at the Tuesday night Moon Jam on stage running through a rendition of the ‘Killing Floor Blues’. While I Met Josh at a mates gig where he was the drummer after watching him play I immediately asked him if he wanted to get something together and so we did. We’ve been playing together for over a year now. Last but not least we were joined by Hunter whom I’m studying music with at Massey who turned out to be the missing piece to complete the full Live sound we have been searching for.
#5 Do you have any upcoming shows?
We have just announced a 12 stop North Island Tour with some more festivals and dates to be confirmed for early next year. The boys are very excited to take our Live show on the road.
