The Warlocks: Mimesis At Its Best?

Let's see. I posted two days ago, and now I am posting again. I will be mentioning The Warlocks because, even though I do not support bands that want to mimic slash pay tribute to an older classic rock band, or a band that they admire in particular, I believe that The Warlocks do a great job at maintaining the mimesis to a minimum in their new album: Heavy Deavy Skull Lover.


Heavy Deavy Skull Lover just came out on October 23, 2007, on Tee Pee Records, making it the sixth album in The Warlocks's repertoire.

The Warlocks are a Los Angeles, California based band, which might be a reason why I do not hate them for their mimicry; I am from Downtown, Los Angeles.

The band comes from the city where music keeps its residents alive, forming in 1999, and now maintaining the genre of "neo-psychedelia" under their sound. They are a group made up of seven members: one plays the tambourine/keys; two play drums; and four members currently on guitar, including the vocalist, and I have no idea if the bassist is included in the playing of guitar also.


The Warlocks are currently touring and will hit Los Angeles on November 17, 2007 at the Troubadour, for more information, go to: The Warlocks's Website.
