Minty Boi Presents: Omnihell Live in Los Angeles

Minty Boi presents Omnihell live at El Cid in Silver Lake: a Los Angeles appearance by the solo project of musician Julian Ash. The listing bills Omnihell alone and describes the project’s influences as running from post-punk to alt pop. It is an all-ages night at El Cid, a venue with entertainment roots reaching back to 1925 and a Spanish dining and flamenco tradition that remains part of its programme.
Ash, who was formerly known as Harsh Symmetry, makes Omnihell from Los Angeles. Bandcamp characterizes the project through “analog synths and post-punk grooves,” calling it a “moody new project.” Another Bandcamp assessment hears “Terrific, pulsing, goth-y synth music driven by tough beats and moody vocal melodies,” a useful guide to the music’s rhythmic drive and dark-toned melodies. The available material does not identify any collaborators or a particular live lineup, but it places Omnihell’s sound at the meeting point of Ash’s post-punk foundation, synth textures and alt-pop influence.
El Cid pairs live entertainment with a long-running Spanish dining and flamenco tradition: the venue’s own history traces its entertainment roots to 1925, while its restaurant dates its present Spanish identity to 1962. The historic interior is described as a Spanish tavern, with dark wood beams, brick and tile, and winding staircases; patios offer a place to eat before the show. A full restaurant serves tapas and entrees, including paella and gambas, and the bar serves drinks. The events calendar lists concerts and parties, while flamenco remains a defining part of the programme. Check the listing for your show’s ticket and seating details, since the available information does not establish a single format for every event. El Cid’s current site gives its address as 4212 W Sunset Blvd in Silver Lake.
