The Fireside Lounge was run more on the Las Vegas model, if without the
gambling. There was dinner and drinks to go with the dancing, sometimes a
floor show, or topless dancers late at night. The object for a band was
to keep people dancing so that they would buy drinks.(1)
8/65 The Warlocks
According to Dennis McNally and Blair Jackson in The Illustrated Trip, The Warlocks
played one or a few gigs at The Fireside Lounge in August of 1965. It
was probably a sort of "audition" gig.(1)
