It wouldn’t be a Ghost of Pop without a particular set of individuals involved, and that list certainly includes members of Goldrush and The Trillions. Members of both outfits have been involved in multiple musical incarnations throughout the history of this annual event–whether that was as part of Prabir and The Substitutes, The Druthers, The Awesome Few, My Old Ways, Rabbits, or The Rachel Nevadas, these were the people making it happen from the start.

There’s no better way to capture the spirit in which this event got its start in the first place than to invite these two groups.
With their single as part of Motion City Soundtrack’s Making Moves series, Goldrush have been making the rounds outside of Richmond’s city limits, bringing their brand of orchestral rock to new crowds and winning over new fans. It’s been quite the year for them. With Ghost Of Pop organizer Prabir Mehta at the helm, there is no telling what his band will be up to that night. They might wreck everything and try to burn their equipment along the way. They might cover Queen, or even play a full set of pop anthems from across the Atlantic. One thing is clear–Goldrush are not to be missed when they grace the stage tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, The Trillions are becoming everyone’s favorite band in Richmond. Among their musical peers, the likes of Kid is Qual’s Jon Sullivan and Glows in the Dark’s Scott Burton have both proclaimed an undying adoration for the group. When a band puts out a record like Tritones, it’s easy to see how they are making a strong case for their unique pop formula. From their strong chorus lines to their talent-laden instrumental freak-outs, The Trillions are a force to be reckoned with. Last year, the band made it look easy when they fit more songs into their twenty minute set than any other band on the bill. Who’s to say they won’t completely knock the socks off of everyone again this year? Find out for yourself at Gallery 5 tomorrow night!
