Holy Ghost Revival  Holy Ghost Revival was an American rock band formed in 2001 in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Self-described as "heavy metal/folk rock/pagan glam," the band had a rotating lineup of musicians. Before disbanding in 2008, the line-up included Conor Kiley (vocals, keyboard), Mikko Freeman (drums), Sebastian Sheldon (keyboard, guitar), Jakes Bayley (bass), and Johnny O'Donnell (guitar). They released a number of LPs and singles on labels such as 1965 Records. The band drew on film soundtracks and 1970s and 1980s rock, and according to "OC Weekly", "the Holy Ghost's vampy, swaggering power-chords-and-pianos set their glammy theatrics to operatic punk rock melodrama." Frontman Conor Kiley was described by Allmusic as "an unholy cross between Iggy Pop, Axl Rose, and Jim Morrison." The metal band Holy Ghost Revival was founded on Bainbridge Island, Washington state in 2001. The band started when most of the members were still in highschool. According to frontman Conor Kiley, who graduated Bainbridge High School in 2001, "We were just high school kids that played punk rock music, glam rock and other groovy sounds. We just got together and started doing it." The name Holy Ghost Revival was taken from a shop sign in Seattle called The Blade, and the band got a van and began booking their own shows. Self-described as "heavy metal folk rock/pagan glam," the band has had a shifting lineup. On Bainbridge Island, the band "served as mentors to the [local glam band] Gruff Mummies." Early on the band released several singles and offered free 7" vinyl records to fans. They released "City Drugs" in 2005 as a vinyl LP on Antarctic Records. Their debut album "Bleeding Light" was released in 2005 as a split release on the labels Jonny Cat and 17 Television, with Seattle musician Jherek Bischoff as a guest on strings. According to a positive review by CMJ, "As complex as "Bleeding" can get, the band is still basically a scroungy bunch that usually plays with scuzz-punk bands. The driving drums faithfully expose the blood and guts inside the goth body." Also in 2005, the band released the live album "Live" on Sycophanticide. The musicians featured on this album were Conor Kiley (vocals), Sterling MacKinnon (bass), Andy Crane (keyboard), TV Coahran (guitar), and Mikko Freeman (drums).
