Although some of its components had been playing together for some
time, the band Son and The Holy Ghosts, was founded in 2008.
The original band members are Guillem 'Son' Mesquida, lead
vocalist and guitar, composer and the real founder of the band.
Josep Verdera, drums, percussion and vocals and Joan Grimalt,
guitar, pedal steel guitar and vocals. Later, Dani Pi, bass, and Xesc
Carbonell, guitar and twelve-string guitar, joined the band.
Due to the sudden death of his father, Guillem started composing
enough material to fill in his first album 'Lyrics and Songs'.
The album contains songs which are obscure and loaded with
emotions. These songs show a strong influence of 'American'
sound, from Folk music, Rock, Country to Indie music, specially
the Seattle sound.
It is on stage where the band shows its best and receives the best
critiques. As other bands from the past, Son and The Holy Ghosts
sound even better live than in record. The band travels through
Spain giving concerts and achieving excellent criticism.
In October 2011, in Urban Studios in Palma, they recorded an EP
with Rafa Rigo as their producer. This EP, Shadows and Monsters,
consists of six songs recorded live. It has new material, with a
brighter sound and a remarkable evolution of the band.
Their new songs have improved and have placed the band in
a higher level. They have moved away from the Seattle sound,
finding their own personality as a band. They look back with
respect to bands like The Byrds, The Band, Tom Petty or presentday
bands like Wilco or Ryan Adams, bands which could be said
to be their main influence nowadays, though they have created
their own distinctive sound.
