Official Biography: 
After the release of their first single "Safe at One," the band was signed by now-defunct Luminal Records, who released their second single "Patroness." A split 12-inch EP release with Canadian "progressive deathrock" band A Spectre Is Haunting Europe would soon follow, this time issued by Atlanta label Stickfigure Records. Entertainment released their debut album Gender in 2008 through Stickfigure. It went on to receive extensive critical acclaim and was voted the 2008 deathrock album of the year by Deathrock.com. A remastered 180-gram vinyl version of Gender was then released the following year on New York label Duchess Archive. In 2011, Entertainment signed to influential Witch House label Disaro Records, and expect to release a new album in early 2012.
