This really happened, earlier today, "in the middle of Ohio," according to @HereWeGoMagic : Iconic eccentric filmmaker John Waters hopped in the Here We Go Magic band van after sticking his thumb out on an interstate highway. Here's the tweetstream: Just picked up John Waters hitchhiking in the middle of Ohio.. No joke.Waters in the van. — Here We Go Magic (@herewegomagic) May 16, 2012 I wasn't kidding.

Here We Go Magic at Black Cat. Luke Temple is one of the best song writers (Taken with Instagram at Black Cat)
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars When Here We Go Magic first jumped onto the scene, it was clear that the work was mostly done by Luke Temple. But, through two albums it has become clear that the band's blossomed into more of a group effort. So with their third proper release, A Different Ship , would the title indicate a final change in the music itself? The answer to that question can go both ways, and therein lays the problem. "Hard [...]
ATG has previously expressed their deep love and affection for Luke Temple and his cohorts in Here We Go Magic . The group is back with a brand new song, "How Do I Know," just in time for Summer. The song has all the elements that we have come to expect from HWGM. There's a snail-paced crescendo as each new element and instrument adds texture and complexity. The volume increases at the same pace, making it feel as if you are surrounded by the subtle variations in harmonies. It's got a bright and fun guitar riff that really [...]
Stream: Here We Go Magic- "How Do I Know" Brooklyn-based group Here We Go Magic has released a new single from their upcoming LP, A Different Ship , which is set to be released on May 8th. "How Do I Know" has a fun, upbeat tempo that continues to build, creating a progressively fuller sound; once the bass line kicks in, it becomes a pretty nostalgic rock song. The lyrics capture the feeling that the instrumentation presents as singer Luke Temple asks the question of how does one know if they are in love with [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Greg Mitnick Here We Go Magic 's upcoming record A Different Ship is a slight change-up from the band's previous work of indie-rock collages. Though their new album has a similar off-the-cuff quality, it shines brightly as a tight and elegant package of ripe tunes. The Brooklyn band's new single "How Do I Know" is a perfect representation of [...]
Here We Go Magics' new video for Make Up Your Mind is naughty and fun.
The offhand, distracted brilliance of Here We Go Magic's "Make Up Your Mind" raises just one question; was Nigel Godrich the genius, or was Radiohead? Because this, Here We Go Magic's first revealed material with Mr Godrich, stinks of all those wonderful Radiohead-associated qualities; the disinterested, yet sharp, lyrics, the linear structure with subtle progressions and eccentric additions, the irony that a song that is essentially so simple just feels so different; the wonderful untrodden territory that nobody had thought to tred. Maybe. Probably not. But as Here We Go Magic's three guitars walk all over each other like a [...]
Luke Temple is no stranger to ATG. The evidence is clear : we like his style. Temple and his cohorts from Here Were Go Magic are back with a brand new song from their upcoming album, A Different Ship . Their class of psychedelic electro-folk is in full effect on "Make Up Your Mind." Temple sings has if he is struggling to contain himself, slowly releasing tension at the end of the chorus. It is one long crescendo that would be perfect for a daylong montage crammed into four minutes. MP3: Here [...]
Does Luke Temple ever sleep? It really doesn't seem that way. The guy is constantly recording, touring, and putting out new music as a solo musician and with his steady outfit Here We Go Magic . This new tune "Make Up Your Mind" features a pretty funky beat on top of the typical Temple/HWGM chanting verses. A new album from the band, A Different Ship , is due out May 8th on Secretly Canadian . Download: Here We Go Magic - Make Up Your Mind [MP3]
Zoals Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros met "Home" onverwachts een hit hebben dankzij de Ikea-reclame, zo zou Luke Temple een reclamehit moeten hebben met "How Could I Lie". De opgewektheid, de folky sound, het moet kunnen. Alléén zou die...

Welcome to FWBA's best-of 2011. This has been such a meaningful year in music to me that it's tough to represent in one post. I'm going to be honest, this took me quite a long time. I wanted to do this year justice because personally, it was a total dream: living in San Diego working with some of my favorite artists, going to SXSW and Lollapalooza, seeing Dave Bazan in stranger's living rooms, Feist play a hometown show, saw tune-yards electrified show at Soda Bar clocking in as one of my favorite performances, watching Zach Rogue and my boyfriend playing [...]
Wow 2011, where the hell did you go? I feel happy and saddened to say goodbye, but 2012 should be a blast because no one's going to care about anything, since we're all going to die anyway. Am I right? Bring it, apocalypse. I'd say this year was pretty impressive as far as successful album releases go for many already established acts. With that being said, one thing I noticed about some other "Top Albums of 20113 lists was that a lot of well-deserved underdogs were missing, their slots filled with some hyped-up groups that possibly just have [...]

What a year it has been. I was hesitant on compiling any "best of" lists, but decided to because it really was an exhilarating year for music. It seemed like anyone who was anyone dropped an album, mixtape, EP, LP or any other composition, and through the very... very bad shone some excellence which has me anticipating what the new year will bring. I've collected a randomized top 20 list of my favourite albums of 2011 and subsequent favourite album tracks (I thought a top 50 would've been a bit extra.) Everything I thought I liked was redefined by these albums [...]
Luke Temple - In The Open J'allais dire à propos de ce nouvel album de Luke Temple que son écriture en solo n'avait pas été influencée par l'aventure en groupe Here We Go Magic, avant de lire dans Magic que ce troisième album était prêt depuis un moment et que c'est le succès du groupe qui a reporté sa sortie, Temple se consacrant entièrement à la tournée d'Here We Go Magic. C'est donc du Luke Temple comme je l'aime sur Don't Act Like You Don't [...]
Frank Yang One of the shifts in the music industry over the last few years has been the evolution of bands as brands (google it, it's a phrase) with as much, or more, equity being place in an artist's name and identity as with their work. So it was interesting to hit up The Garrison on Friday night for a triple bill of acts who were quite consciously not trading under their more successful brands - there was one side project, one solo project and one complete re-brand. First up and most enticing to me [...]

Oh Wild Child, you're just as sweet as pie... and quite possibly one of 20112s breakthrough bands. There is no denying that Wild Child is a cut above the rest and all the while it seems to come so easily for them. Their debut [...]
