Stroking to LCD: This Ain’t No Picnic

September 7, 2022
Goldenvoice has been on a roll, especially with their Rose Bowl based festivals, hosting special gatherings on sacred grounds. These two to three day festivals they’ve been churning out have all featured incredible lineups and have allowed audiences to see numerous artists that could each play at the Greek, Shrine or Bowl all on one giant, dusty field inside a literal melting pot. From Pasadena Daydream with the Cure to Arroyo Seco with Neil Young, Goldenvoice is building up a powerful Pasadena legacy. This Ain’t No Picnic hosted artists that represented our modern rock and roll heroes like Sparks, Le Tigre, The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem, but also the cream of next crop of legends like Turnstile, Caroline Polachek, Yves Tumor, Magdalena Bay, Ethel Cain, King Woman, and Idles. Mark my words, these artists will be massive headliners in the decades to come and on that day, we’ll look back to lineups like This Ain’t No Picnic’s and be in awe of how so many huge artists were assembled on the same bill. related content: Arroyo Seco: The Nostalgic, The Timeless, and the Real Day 1 Getting to drive on the greens of a golf course to find my parking

Photo Recap: Ethel Cain at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever

Ethel Cain is the singer/cult mother of the Daughters of Cain, a southern-based cult inspired by all things American gothic and the darker tones of Judeo-Christian belief. Adorning her head like a crown of thorns are the tattooed Hebrew letters that anoint them as divine. Gender, regardless of debate, exists firmly in the realm of humanity, while Ethel Cain is deity and living mythos. Much like Ismael (a woman cast in a male role) in Ingmar Bergman’s great film, Fanny and Alexander, Ethel has the power to spread the echoes of their energy throughout the many layers of reality. Ethel Cain, through her voice and music, can cast spells and bound curses upon those she wishes simply by the enchanting sounds that escape her magick throat musculature. Her latest album, Preacher’s Daughter, has already skyrocketed her into new territories of collective consciousness. And like any good hive mother, the daughters and sons of Ethel Cain will feed her until she devours the world. Her show at the Masonic Lodge was one of two album release shows in high-demand and sold out beyond capacity. It was an initiation rite, filled with symbolism, love, and danger.
