Bio.

Ghostboy began as the musical avatar of Sydney-based artist Jonathan Jaques. He recorded the 1st Ghostboy material back in 2004. This yeilded live incarnations from 2005-2007, during which JJ honed his writing & production skills. In 2008, he got together w/ Aussie rock producer Peter Blyton (Radiators, Lime Spiders, Michael Hutchence, Sick Puppies) & recorded a collection of demos that became productions in their own right, packaged later as The Dark Passenger LP. JJ cycled copies around Sydney, finally finding like-minded troublemakers in 2009. Ghostboy is now JJ + Ben Mammen (gtr), Luke Audsley (bass) & Alejandro Gonzalez (drums).

2010 has so far seen Ghostboy record their debut EP w/ Clayton Segelov (The Scare, Bridezilla) set for release in late July + begin gigging around Sydney. Their sound & songs are already drawing comparison to Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, NIN, Lou Reed & Machine Gun Fellatio.
