Ifihadahifi and Pegataur also perform. 9:30pm, $6.

The Ghost were a post-hardcore band that started in Berkeley in 2001 and developed a strong cult following before moving to Chicago, where they put out two albums on Some Records, a Chitown label co-owned by Walter Schreifels of Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand/Rival Schools. Although The Ghost broke up in 2005, they’re reuniting this Friday at Thee Parkside to celebrate the vinyl rerelease of their Steve Albini-produced debut, This is a Hospital, on Solidarity Recordings.
