Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music On Tuesday, up-and-comers Magic Kids performed songs from their debut record, 'Memphis' at the Empty Bottle in Chicago. Named after their hometown, the sunny indie-pop album was almost the entire focus of the six-member group's short set. Before the show even began, towering frontman Bennett Foster asked the audience if anyone wanted to buy them a drink because the drink tickets they received from the bar weren't enough. [...]

Once upon a time, in Memphis Tennessee, there resided a gang of bubblegum pop weirdos who bounced about like Peter Pan's supporting cast and produced an irrationally catchy racket. Alas, two members of the crew known as The Barbaras became bona fide Lost Boys when they flew the coop in order to give rhythm to the late, great Jay Reatard. Nowadays, Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes can be found providing similar services to weed-fi wunderkid Wavves, whilst their childhood friends have regrouped as Magic Kids and finally spilled and arranged all of their lush, lovelorn brains [...]
L'été n'est plus, c'est un fait. Mais grâce à la pop solaire de ces jeunes premiers de la classe, c'est comme si on y était encore. La sortie de l'album des Magic Kids était un peu l'événement majeur de cette rentrée musicale pour les amateurs d'indie. Cela fait maintenant pas mal de temps que nous les avions découverts grâce à a leur titre le plus connu "Hey Boy" qui ne pouvait qu'être un bon présage quant à ce futur premier album. Les petits hits que sont "Hey Boy" et "Superball" étaient du pain béni [...]

I first came across the "Bed Intruder Song" on SwearImNotPaul.com. If you're not familiar with the song, here's a quick backstory: a man attempted to attack a woman in her home, the woman and her brother (Antoine Dodson) were interviewed by a local news station, The Gregory Brothers, who make Auto-Tune The News, got hold of the report and turned it into a song. The song took off (13,220,865 views on YouTube so far) and even made it to #3 on the iTunes R&B chart. And now Paramore's Hayley Williams, New Found Glory's Jordan Pundik and Relient K's Ethan Luck [...]

Somehow this track from Magic Kids entranced me this morning. It's so early 90s it makes my cavities hurt, but it sets a nice little bit of pop-joy for the weekend. Enjoy.

The throwback bliss of Magic Kids' recent " Summer " was just a hint of what to expect from their debut. Released this week, Memphis is packed to the brim with similarly joyful, pure-pop delights which, like the above "Superball", don't so much pay homage to their melodically-rich, orchestral-pop heroes (Brian Wilson, Herman's Hermits, Van Dyke Parks, etc) as soak that old-time sound in modern indie-pop songs. 11 songs in under a half hour, each packed with hooks, lush harmonies, and echoes of oldies radio that'll bring your summer to [...]
Yes, this does sound like Beach Boys. But what is wrong with that? Here are some other things you may notice about Magic Kids from watching 'Superball'. Sun drenched clothes? Check. Starwipe? Check. Looking wistfully into the camera? Check. 80s sheen? Check. The youngest keyboard player in the world? Check. [Read more]
New video for the Magic Kids track "Superball." It's from their forthcoming album, Memphis , which is out now on True Panther Sounds . MP3s: Magic Kids- Hey Boy Magic Kids- Summer Magic Kids- Superball -
True Panther posted the new video to Magic Kids track "Superball" this morning and it's the perfect fit for their sound, style, and image. It's essentially a bunch of a young, talented, and dorky kids from Memphis playing their 602s style pop music with video editing effects matching the same decade. Between tiled Brady Bunch-esque facial shots to transitioning between frames with heart-shaped fades, this is one fun/retro video. Tweet [...]
