The Entrance Band Kicks Off June Residency Spectacularly @ The Satellite in LA [Concert Review]

I admit it; I’m of the legion of never-satisfieds decrying the death of guitar rock, moaning everlong about how rock’s lost the spectacle of sheer human ability, of human fingers making inhuman noises through superhuman practice and ingenuity.

Geek Horoscope: June 2013

June is here. That means beach wear, summer flings, and blockbuster movies. Not to mention Burn Notice will be back for its final season on USA!
