Giveaway: The Warlocks At The Parish [Tonight]

The Warlocks truck in from LA tonight to bring their hypnotic, neo-psychedelic shoegaze to the Parish Room in support of their recent and arguably best album, The Mirror Explodes. Led by Bobby Hecksher, singer/guitarist and, for all intents and purposes, the only constant member of the band, The Warlocks are compatriots in life and sound of The Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Spacemen 3. For the decade they’ve been in existence, The Warlocks have mostly followed in the grand tradition of the heavy pop psychedelia and deep, droning grooves purveyed by The Velvet Underground and Jesus and Mary Chain; however, The Mirror Explodes is noticeably more menacing than their previous efforts, and finds the band branching out to include the influence of My Bloody Valentine and shoegaze in general. New York via Melbourne, Australia’s Morning After Girls and Brooklyn’s The Vandelles open the show, and we’ve got tickets for you: enter below for your chance at a pair of spots on the guest list.
