On Sunday I was back at the Bunkhouse to celebrate the spooky season with a live show from Ghosted, the UK's number 1 tribute to Ghost, with support from Painted As Monsters and General Waste. So here’s my short review of the show.
Pop-punk band General Waste kicked off the show in spectacular fashion. They only played a short set of about 5-6 songs, including a cover of All American Rejects classic track Dirty Little Secret. They put on a fantastic performance and they sounded great. I think the bass could have done with being a bit louder but other than that the sound was spot on.
I was quite impressed with their high energy performance, especially from the vocalist and the guitarist who were both really getting into it and having some fun on stage. Their original material sounds like a mix of Paramore and My Chemical Romance. A very nice combo!
Next up, we had Painted As Monsters who brought the heavy! Fantastic three-piece alt/prog band who sound like a blend of Muse and Breaking Benjamin. The whole band sounded great and gave a solid performance but I was very impressed with their drummer, the guy was an absolute machine on the kit and I was completely in awe watching him play.

I really loved the vocal harmonies from the guitarist and bassist too. They treated us with a performance of their newest single which I believe is being released this Saturday. Definitely worth a listen to when it’s out!
Finally we had the headliners of the night, Ghosted. You can say all you want about Ghost, but you can’t deny that they do put on a really fun show, and Ghosted, being the number 1 tribute in the UK, do exactly the same, albeit on a much smaller scale, but the energy and the dedication is on par with the real deal. There were some technical issues at the start of their set but the band quickly overcame them and delivered a brilliant performance!
They played all of my favourites, such as Rats, Year Zero, From The Pinnacle To The Pit and more. There was some great banter between songs from the frontman, aka “Papa”, which gave me a good laugh, and about halfway through the set there was a little guitar duel between the 2 guitarists which went back and forth before the bassist came in right at the end to put them both to shame and win the contest. They played for almost an hour and half in total and I enjoyed every second of it.
So it was a very fun night, everyone in the crowd looked like they were having a great time, lot’s of singing and dancing and smiles all around. I enjoyed myself, the bands did amazing and I look forward to seeing all of them play again!
