THE MAGIC TOUCH

About Me

THE MAGIC TOUCH started as a side project of famous German SKA/REGGAE bands YELLOW UMBRELLA (DRESDEN) and THE SOLITOS (BERLIN)! After just a few rehearsals MAGIC ALEX, MAGIC SVEN, MAGIC JÃœRGEN and THE MAGIC TOUCH established themselves as a unique live act playing a selection of finest rocksteady and soulful early reggae grooves with an edge: rough and tough! Playing without a brass section musically takes it back to the roots of rocksteady when the soul-inspired vocalists came to the forefront while the riddim started to lean back, driven by two guitars and a bubbling hammond organ and clavinet. After playing support for the AGGROLITES in November 2007, things took a new turn as THE MAGIC TOUCH extended and welcomed former singer of COURT JESTERS CREW (CJC) DON ROCKSHAH aka MAGIC ROGER as a second frontman and MAGIC JO (THE SHEPHERDS) to bring in some bouncy bubbling organ grooves. So right now THE MAGIC TOUCH are kind of an all-star ska band taking it easy on the beat... Rehearsals are sheduled and songs written, so watch out to hear more from the MAGIC TOUCH throughout 2009. Any support welcome.one love
