We'd been fans of Renminbi for a number of years. And in the last year or two, we worked with them on a a few shows. So we were quite interested when the two primary members of the band recently announced they were getting rid of their name and reorganizing as Magnetic Island , seemingly both a new project and a continuation of the duo's musical evolution. The new group will be playing their first show this Saturday, March 13th, at Fort Useless (presented by StereoactiveNYC); following are a few questions we asked, answered by [...]

Downloadable: A Dream (mp3) If you followed @renminbinyc , hearing this song should explain those [...]
