Formed in Long Beach, CA, in late 2004, I Am Ghost take their sartorial cues from the velvet, lace, and lotsa eyeliner end of the goth
continuum, and their musical ones from the more progressive end of the post-hardcore and emo scenes. Forming around the nucleus of singer
Steven Juliano and violinist and singer Kerith Marcantonio, I Am Ghost quickly added guitarists Gabriel Iraheta and Timoteo Rosales, bassist
and keyboardist Brian Thomas, and drummer Ryan Seaman to the lineup, creating a signature blend of punky aggression and ethereal

Formed in Long Beach, CA, in late 2004, I Am Ghost take their sartorial cues from the velvet, lace, and lotsa eyeliner end of the goth
continuum, and their musical ones from the more progressive end of the post-hardcore and emo scenes. Forming around the nucleus of singer
Steven Juliano and violinist and singer Kerith Marcantonio, I Am Ghost quickly added guitarists Gabriel Iraheta and Timoteo Rosales, bassist
and keyboardist Brian Thomas, and drummer Ryan Seaman to the lineup, creating a signature blend of punky aggression and ethereal
dreaminess. In time, Marcantonio and Thomas would tie the knot, legally becoming the happy couple of Kerith and Brian Telestai. A homemade
demo CD called We Are Always Searching was sold at shows and shopped to labels until the stalwart punk indie Epitaph signed I Am Ghost in
2005 and reissued a remastered edition of the album in a new sleeve. Somewhat incongruously, the band also played the Vans Warped Tour
that summer. I Am Ghost's second album, Lovers' Requiem, unashamedly described by the band as a rock opera, was released by Epitaph in
the fall of 2006. - written by AOL.COM
Kerith Telestai released an official statement on June 30, 2007 stating that she would be unable to continue touring and would be leaving the
band due to health reasons. I Am Ghost is not currently looking for a replacement. A few days after Kerith left the band, her husband, Brian
Telestai, announced that he too would be leaving the band after their tour with Aiden. He posted a controversial bulletin on MySpace regarding
his departure from the band, and the band has recently found a replacement bass player in Ron Ficarro. « hide |
