Hey Friends!
The Entrance Band (myself, Paz Lenchantin and Derek James) have finally completed our LABOR of LOVE, our first Full Length Album as a full-fledged BAND. We have been working with our producer Nadav Eisenman (RTX) for two years on the project and are ECSTATIC to have finally created something for the world to hear. The record, simply called "The Entrance Band" will hopefully be out in late summer, and will be released by ECSTATIC PEACE! (Thurston from Sonic Youth's label) in partnership with Universal Motown. We are psyched to be starting to perform LIVE again and are gearing up for Summer and Fall Tours. We'd like to thank everyone that has aided and abetted our creative blossoming and we can't wait to take things even further in the coming seasons. Below are some upcoming live dates in California and we are scheming and plotting our way to other parts of the the USA and the Planet Earth as I write this. Hope everyone's Spring has Sprung and that we can all proceed joyfully into the coming paradigm shift! As a band we'll be doing everything we can to transmit our energy in alignment with the progressive, forward thinking movements of change that are bubbling just under the surface of our everyday realities. Hope to see you in your town sometime soon!
Love and Solidarity,
Guy Blakeslee (singer and guitar player in the Entrance Band)
