..With a touch of an evil torch song laced with the alter ego of post-punk, the Magick Daggers are creating a fierce sound unique to their locale of Portland, Oregon. Formed in 2006 by Jessy Montaigne, (the former ringleader of San Francisco’s influential Subtonix) and Maximillion Avila (of Get Hustle, Antioch Arrow and Holy Molar), they have already released their first EP on Manimal Vinyl, recorded by Joshua Hughes of Rabbits/Pleasure Forever, and are currently writing their first full length album due in the Spring of 2008. Their haunting resonance embodies a diabolical merge of 1920s Weimar Cabaret influences contrasted by horror film shrieks and ether static sung through a wall of reverb. Atmospheric eerie organs are attributed to the lovely Xtine Sorenson on keys, adorned by their Cello player Allegra M, Percussionist Kenna and Aaron Montaigne on backing drums. The live show is a disjointed rabbit hole, moving from chaotic and frenzied dance songs, to swirling sinister piano ballads. Also in past haunts and recordings the Daggers have been joined by Kim E. Namany of NYC on Theramin and the lovely Miss Kaetlin Kennedy of Garland Ray Project.
