https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hungry-Ghosts/346898852017235 Hungry Ghosts are a rock band based in Melbourne, Australia. They recorded their debut LP with Rowland S. Howard as producer.

In 1996 after only three performances, they came to the attention of Lindsay Gravina, who instantly fell in love with the group, inviting them on-the-spot to record an album at his Birdland Studio. With Rowland S. Howard in the producers seat, they set about to capture the sounds that would make up their first album. By 1999, they found themselves invited to NYC, by Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley, who helped create an even sparser album, Alone, Alone, which one reviewer described as, "....blessed with the ability to utter a million word
