Magic People "To the Moon" (18.7 MB) The Middle East (Upstairs) Cambridge, MA July 19, 2007

My two weeks in the Boston area were apparently the sparsest weeks of the year for live music. When all was said and done, I only got a chance to go to one show -- Matt and Kim, with a couple of local bands opening. The second one was Magic People, who I found myself liking quite a bit. Their sound reminds me a bit of the late 90's Boston emo scene, but mixed with Detroit acts like SSM. I believe this song is called "To the Moon," and I assume it's from their forthcoming new record, but this is speculation; all I know for sure is that it's not on last year's record, which I bought after their set.
