![(][)ghostigitized(][) the utter sense of ghostigital](http://ghostigital.com/story/ghostigital_web5.gif)
We brought our message of cod and piece to the fair city of Chicago last night amid thunder and lazers. Got zapped up by the powers that be and had a swell time doing what we are doing.
Ghostigital returns to Iceland to play on Wednesday with Finnbogi Pétursson and to return to San Francisco and Vancouver to play with Björk.
[late add review]
Together again
"As longtime fans may know, Einar Örn Benediktsson was the loud, obnoxious, seemingly non-musical character who led the Sugarcubes with Bjork, often inserting himself at the most inopportune moments to shout off-key or deliver a blast of gratingly harsh trumpet noise. Missing in action (at least in America) for a decade and a half, he has resurfaced with his abrasiveness undiminished as part of a two-man band called Ghostigital with producer, guitarist and electronics wizard Curver. They opened Saturday's show.
As Curver delivered a punishingly loud electro-clash assault, Einar ranted and raved, prancing about the stage and sometimes bounding off it to stroll down the aisle, only steps behind a portion of the audience that ran for the shelter of the lobby to ride out the storm. Those of us who stayed were rewarded with a provocative performance in the great electronic-punk tradition of Suicide, making you think, laugh and surrender to the glorious noise and chaos, and reminding veteran Bjork-watchers of when she first started to fly her freak-flag high."
i saw your chicago show & it was absolutely amazing!!! i'll be totally honest, i've heard of ghostigital, but never heard any of your music. but, you blew me away last night with your performance. i have a huge passion for electronic music that is harsh & noise-y. i just wanted to personally thank you guys for the wonderful show, the brilliant music, & a perfect way to start the bjork show. much love! <3 ps. come back to chicago soon!!!!!!! <3

Posted by: danlynch at May 18, 2007 2:29 AMGreat to see you hitting more US cities. Hopefully one day Portland. I'm hoping to get to your show Wednesday in Vancouver, but I'm there Sunday/Monday for the Police and don't know if I can reassign all of my work. If so I will be stoked, Isafjordur was amazing. If not, I'll see you as soon as I can. Have fun!

Good luck tomorrow in San Francisco!!!
