About Ghosts in the Machine

A (mostly) 1980s cover band - As our name suggests, Ghosts In The Machine (GITM) started off with a heavy focus on The Police. While our typical set list still contains lots of Police tunes, we also play U2, The Cure, A-Ha, Squeeze, Talking Heads, Blondie, Toto, Journey, Simple Minds and many other iconic 80s bands. We will veer off the 80s occasionally - backward to Led Zeppelin or Heart, or forward to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cranberries, The Killers or Dua Lipa. We pride ourselves in combining rock energy with vocal harmony finesse.
