“Let´s not be a myspace band” Beau Tyler from We the Ghost talks about making your show unique and supporting fellow musicians
We the Ghost is ranked on ReverbNation.com’s indie chart as #1 Locally in Tulsa, #20 Nationwide and #26 Globally. They have performanced at SXSW in Austin, TX and co-headlined the Texas State Fair the night of the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma University and Texas. They also played in Dallas, Oklahoma City and Ft. Smith, AR. March of 2013 brought them the opportunity to open for Imagine Dragons at the University of Tulsa Reynolds Center in front of a sold out crowd of 8,000 screaming students and locals fans. Their crowning achievement came at the end of the year, though, as their new album Sinking Suspicion won 2013 ROCK ALBUM OF THE YEAR at the L.A. Music Awards at the historic Avalon Theater in Hollywood, CA. Previous awards for We The Ghost have included Best Indie Rock Band, Song of the Year, and Best Male Vocalist at the 2012 Absolute Best of Tulsa Awards, and they won Band of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Male Vocalist (Beau Tyler – 2nd consecutive year) at the 2013 Absolute Best of Tulsa Awards. “Sinking Suspicion,” is being played on radio stations all across the U.S.A and the music video for the song has since also been viewed over 60,000 times in only 2 months!
