THE ENTRANCE BAND![]() Since first collaborating together on the 2006 album Prayer of Death, guitarist/vocalist Guy Blakeslee, bassist Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle / Zwan / The Pixies) and drummer Derek James have breathed continued life into the sound of The Entrance Band. What began as a solo effort for the Baltimore-bred Blakeslee now manifests itself as a fully aligned group effort, now native to California – three minds, alike yet unique, united in pursuit of shared sonic enchantment, amplified and energetic. That energy has translated into a catalog of recorded expression – including a self-titled album released on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label, the 2012 "Fine Flow" EP and the 2013 EP "Dans Le Tempete" – and an unassailable reputation for offering one of the most intuitively-interconnected live performances on the planet. These memorable melodies and their near-telekinetic musical kinship are found in full flower on their new LP, "Face the Sun" – certainly the band’s most compelling collection of songs to date. The first full-length in 4 years, it is an album built firmly upon notable personal struggles and transformations experienced by all three band members. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MOONWARD ![]() ![]() ![]() Back to Concerts |
