LA / LBC / OC
Long Beach’s Magic Lantern have finally gone and released a new sonic document after what seemed like an eternity of waiting. Eagerly anticipated by those who have been biding their time waiting for the band to get on with their uber limited cassette only and CD-R releases (their Self-Titled CD-R was limited to 30), “High Beams”, the band’s latest opus [...]

Tucked behind a giant food distribution warehouse and down the block from some newer lofts is the 6th Street Warehouse, a long narrow warehouse space that reeks of stale beer and puke, and last night, weed and clove smoke. We arrived around 11pm last night after first making stop at Boardner’s for Let’s Independent to catch The Switch’s performance, to walk in on who I think was Tod Adrian Wisenbaker, though I’m not quite sure.
We thought we had timed it just right to be there ready to catch Entrance without too much hanging around and waiting, but alas, we didn’t. But all was not lost as Golden Animals were pretty badass, there’s isn’t much online about this Brooklyn based band, except for their inclusion on the upcoming Madonna freak folk tribute, Through The Wilderness; A Tribute to Madonna coming out this September.
Finally around 12:30am, Entrance took the ramp and transported us back to 1969, as they riped through revved up extended versions of their newest jams on Prayer Of Death. The on stage atmosphere was a bit tense as the crowd grew impatient prior to the band’s performance as they were dogged with last minute microphone difficulties, but as the set drew on, things loosened up, and the slightly thinned crowd rocked on.
Hopefully Entrance will play LA again soon, and hopefully someday on the same bill as Earthless. Now that would make kick ass show. Someone put that in a park and you’ve got yourself the start of nice little festival I would actually attend.
