Psychedelic sweethearts ENTRANCE recently played the Troubadour last Thursday, January 15th.

For those of you who have not heard or seen them, this Los Angeles based power trio deliver a seemingly otherworldly channeling of the blues through their uniquely fashioned rainbow-prismatic monocle.

Think of Jimi Hendrix transcendentally meditating on the 1920’s mysticism of Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “Low Down Hoo Doo blues,” and you have something close to Entrance’s unearthly sound.
