About this Event
“Instead of meeting the devil at the crossroads, ENTRANCE must have met loved up space aliens who made him the International Son of Cosmic Blues.” - NME
Emerging from the pre-internet post-hardcore scene of the late 90’s, ENTRANCE (born Guy Blakeslee) began singing his lysergic blues and mystic troubadour folk in the underground venues of Baltimore and Chicago in 2001. The early 2000’s saw him touring extensively in the US, the UK and Europe, alongside like-minded artists such as Devendra Banhart, Cat Power, Will Oldham and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Inspired in equal measure by the eerie falsetto of Skip James and the acid edged poetry of ’66 Dylan (and frizzy haired disciples like Buckley, Bolan & Barrett), ENTRANCE was an integral voice at the vanguard of what became known as “freak folk,” or “the New Weird America.”
Early ENTRANCE albums “The Kingdom of Heaven Must Be Taken By Storm” and “Honey Moan” were made in collaboration with producer Chris Coady. Originally released by Tiger Style, both are now receiving an archival reboot from the Numero Group.
