Anatomy of a Ghost was an American emo band from Portland, Oregon, some of whose members originally hailed from Alaska.

History

Anatomy of a Ghost formed early in 2002 and gained popularity through live performances and through internet promotional channels. In 2003 they toured the United States with Saosin and Boys Night Out. [1] Their debut (and only) record, Evanesce, was released in October 2003 on Fearless Records. Despite a warm critical reception, [2] [3] [4] the group broke up in May 2004. [1] [5] The group reunited briefly in 2005 to put together a new album, but the project never materialized. In the meantime, John Gourley and Zach Carothers began playing in the group Portugal. The Man, [6] and Dewey Halpaus had started a group called The Burning Room. Prior to forming Anatomy of a Ghost, Dewey Halpaus, and brothers Nick and Joe Simon were in a band called Nice Guy Eddie.
