WARLOCKS - "Baby Blue" b/w "Diluaded" 45 Imagine this: It's 1966, and you're at the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, in the Electric Circus, upstairs from The Dom in the East Village. The cavernous room throbs with pulsing strobelights, while black and white scenes from Warhol's Chelsea Girl flicker on a freshly-painted rear wall. Onstage, the Velvet Underground are in the midst of a harrowing version of "Heroin." The scene changes. Now you're at Altamont Raceway, forty miles southeast of San Francisco. It's December 1969. Stagelights reflect off the shiny chrome of the Hell's Angels' choppers, like sunlight gleaming off a knife blade. The peacekeepers are wearing black leather, bloody skull rings. Their faces are smudged with Owsley's acid. Onstage, the Rolling Stones are staggering through "Sympathy For The Devil," a song future generations will claim invoked the Death of the Hippie with feral intensity and dread. This is what rock n' roll has always been about, something visceral, something dangerous. Palpable sensations generating orgone energy. Above all, these images conjure up music as an experience. This is what the WARLOCKS are all about. "Baby Blue" is off the Warlocks album on (Birdman) due September 2002. "Diluaded" is an outtake from last years "Rise and Fall" on (Bomp). This record is limited to 500 copies.
