About Me

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor ! Magic Bronson is a six-piece funk machine, the likes of which Charleston has never experienced. Primarily an instrumental act, Magic Bronson combines the energetic rhythms of seventies funk and soul with the infectious bounce of a well-polished hip-hop act. With its jazz-inspired improvisations, and break-beat style dance grooves, the Magic Bronson sound achieves uniqueness and undeniable dance potential. Bassist Hopturn Two Tape and drummer Karl Anderson give the group its hard-thumping rhythm section, while guitarist Collin Madden lays down soulful riffs and blazing leads. Saxophonist The Tooth and trombonist The Elbow make up the jazzy yet aggressive horn section which drives the group through melodic hooks, commanding rhythmic stabs, and electrifying solos. The sixth and final member, turntableist Alex Rosen, is an asset to the band. With his sampling and scratching embellishments, as well as his mind-bending visual presentations, Alex allows Magic Bronson to go beyond peopleâ€™s expectations of bar-room entertainment. Originally from West Virginia, founding members The Tooth and Hopturn Two Tape brought their creative vision to Charleston in 2006. They soon met Karl and began to write and arrange as a trio. Karlâ€™s old friend and fellow New England transplant Collin was then invited to take over guitar duties. With some wind in their sails, the group picked up Jeremy when he also relocated from West Virginia. The lineup was completed when Alex, a Charleston native, joined in 2007. Magic Bronson succeeds in capturing the audience, but shatters preconceptions by delivering a fresh perspective on every genre they incorporate. With a firm grasp on the past, and a boundless sense of innovation, Magic Bronson continues to earn the respect of music aficionados, critics, and bar-room denizens.
