About Me

Magic Eight Ball's music is conjured from the musical sorcery of Baz Francis, Robbie J. Holland and Mike Corbyn Jnr. The band's songs vary greatly in lyrical and musical theme, each drawing from a deep pool of influence borrowing from rock n' roll, soul, pop and satire, providing them each with a common theme of euphoric sound and cathartic howling. As the band busily promote their EP, single and DVD, they shall no doubt be careering through a town near you very soon, and consider youselves warned as their live performances are always an excuse to put on a show that only leaves the good kind of taste in your mouth.
