BOBBLE TIKI:THIS BLINDING LIGHT AT THE NEW FRONTIER >>>
Bobble Tiki is a big magic buff. If there’s a top hat and a rabbit involved, chances are Bobble Tiki’s into it.
So, this week, when Bobble Tiki heard that This Blinding Light â€" who will be at The New Frontier Lounge tonight â€" were into magic too, well, Bobble Tiki figured it’d be a match made in heaven.
The only trouble is, upon further review, Bobble Tiki now realizes This Blinding Light is thinking a little deeper than hocus pocus and handkerchiefs when the band says it loves magic.
In fact, it’s magick they love, actually â€" and there’s quite a difference.
“To put it simply, we’re combining Magick and Music. I’m not talking about any Harry Potter shit here,†says This Blinding Light’s sparkplug, Lance Watkins â€" who people may recognize from Hypatia Lake, an equally boundary-busting band that Watkins also fronts. This Blinding Light was started as a side project between Watkins and Michael Sterling of Joy Wants Eternity. The current lineup also includes Shane Browning of Hypatia Lake on bass and Mary Genova of Waves and Mars Accelerator on drums.
“Michael and I are both Adepts in the Mystery School, and we wanted to use those tools we’ve gained in Esoteric Ritual to help us in our music. To the audience, it looks like performance art, but to anyone versed in Esoteric Teachings, it would appear as ritual,†says Watkins.
Even though it’s now clear there’ll be no rabbits and no hats when it comes to This Blinding Light, that’s not to say Bobble Tiki is disappointed. While the band may have a different definition and spelling of magic, they understand one thing close to Bobble Tiki’s heart: how to turn up to 11 and rock â€" albeit in slightly unorthodox fashion.
“You have to enjoy loud rock and roll or it’s just gonna not be your bag,†says Watkins.
