Ghost Toast was formed in the autumn of 2008 in Debrecen, Hungary. It had 3 members at first (László Papp - drums, János Stefán - bass, Bence Rózsavölgyi - guitar). János Pusker (- keyboards, cello) joined later, in the spring of 2009. The name comes from one of those crazy ideas in the bath-tub, as most band names do, let's leave it at that. They endeavoured to write their own songs from the very beginning and find the (few) common focal points in the members' musical taste through which they can drive the individual ideas and concepts together. The music they make is a product of 4 individuals, all members sharing the creation process almost equally. The songs are of instrumental nature, few or no vocals at all, so they tend to differ from the common, usual ones. Their structures are intentionally messed up, partly for the reason that all songs were based on improvisations during rehearsals. Perhaps the end of the initial, path-seeking era - ranging from the very beginning until the end of 2010 - is the first LP, titled Toast in the Shell. The "songs" on this album (quotation marks are needed because you will not find any singing, per se) are of many moods and styles: e.g. they summon Morricone, Dirty Harry, they play metal, drum n' bass, hard, soft and even waltz, so they would tend to pass on the classification of their music. Our goal is first and foremost to entertain ourselves, which was achieved, and hopefully others will like it as well. About our future plans: we had already started writing new songs, which we would like to finish and record as soon as possible. We will try to come up with something fresh and new, there are plenty of ideas around. In 2013, after 2 long years, the new album finally emerged, titled There Is No En…, which, we sincerely hope, is showing the path and the long way which the band has taken since 2008. New sound, new themes, new tunes, new ideas.
