Departed I Am Ghost couple form new band

Alternative Press - Ben Sailer on 12/10/07 @ 3:21 PM - altpress.com

Ex-members of I Am Ghost Brian and Kerith Telestai have formed a new project, named appropriately enough, Telestai. The new act has posted a new song, "The Rebirth," on their MySpace page, and is currently working on an EP to be released sometime in 2008. The couple left their previous outfit earlier this year (click here and here for those stories), citing differences in religious beliefs and poor physical health amongst the reasons for their departure.
