Magic 8

About Me

Magic8 are Polly (vocals), Adie (guitar and production), Leon (guitar), Pete (drums) ,and Tom (bass)Since forming in London, weve played various gigs including: London Design Week, The Camden Barfly, The Rhythm Factory, The Luminaire, Water Rats, The Old Blue Last, the Brixton Windmill and also as support band for The Duke Spirit at the Astoria.Songs "Battleships" and "2 of One" were featured on XFM and Radio One, and new release "Give Up" is being distributed by Rough Trade and other music shops.We played in the Lee Jeans unsigned tour last summer and were also featured in the top 20 unsigned acts on www.ukmusicsearch.co.uk."Strident, a brisk new-wave like gait with intricate and filmy guitar work at the core of their verve. Pollys vocals have more than a touch of Debbie Harrys classic cool, indeed their pop music (skewed, but not obstinately so) is so handsomely self-assured, they dont need the shades and tacked on aloofness to tell their rock n roll story." Vanity Project - 2005Blending some of the best off kilter guitar riffs this side of the Pixies, a cool robotic rhythm section and the icy cool vocals of Polly, lying somewhere between Justine Frischmann, Alison Goldfrapp and Kim Deal. Magic 8 are a band to adore you should take them to your heart and cherish them" Mike UKmusicsearch - 2005
