The Entrance Band, Jacco Gardner, & Grandparents
Much has changed since the Tee Pee Records release of 2006’s heavy, stoned stomper Prayer Of Death disc of Entrance. Frontman Guy Blakeslee has upped the flowing mane quotient, for one, inducting drummer Derek W. James and A Perfect Circle/Zwan bassist Paz Lenchantin into the group. The renamed The Entrance Band calls Los Angeles its home, and released its LP sorta-debut, The Entrance Band, via Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace.
Jacco Gardner is a neo-psych/baroque pop multi instrumentalist from The Netherlands. He creates a unique sound by combining the sounds of harpsichord, strings, flutes and other classical instruments with raw psychedelic effects.
Grandparents is what happens when Brian Wilson, Anton Newcombe, and Kevin Shields take off their clothes and have sex in a cacophony of sound. Rolling along a tape track of bends, twisting tones, and sweet-sweet harmonies drenching the listener in the warm syrupy tones of their minds. Formed in 2009 when an old group of friends met new ones in dorms across Portland, Oregon. Their love of sonic experimentation and manipulation has resulted in pure psychedelic swoons that reflect the love of their namesake.
