Here We Go Magic To Support Broken Social Scene

• 7th Jun 2010

Brooklyn’s Here We Go Magic celebrate the release of new album ‘Pigeons’ today (June 7th) with news of further UK shows, this time supporting Broken Social Scene. The up and coming psychedelic pop quintet are playing a run of dates with Broken Social Scene in the UK and Europe straight after their appearances at Glastonbury, plus shows have been added supporting Grizzly Bear in Australia. Full details of these are below, all international dates including a slot at Pitchfork Festival in July are on the Myspace page.

Here We Go Magic have several festival appearances line-up throughout summer, now including Hard Rock Calling, Electric Picnic, Latitude and Bestival.

The band’s first single from the new album, ‘Collector’, also lands on the same day as the release of ‘Pigeons’, both available from Secretly Canadian.

A five piece emerging from the environs of New York City sometime early 2009, the first material from Here We Go Magic arrived in the form of a unique collection of 4 track recordings created by lead singer Luke Temple. The band themselves had convened through a series of chance encounters, overheard conversations and supernatural occurrences. Whilst hailing from disparate musical backgrounds, they all found a common axis in the recordings then released as the self-titled ‘Here We Go Magic’ (Western Vinyl).

Since then, the band has ridden an unwavering wave of creative momentum which resulted recently with appearances at this year’s SXSW garnering armfuls of plaudits, reducing the US media to superlative –laden acclaim. Along the way they have developed a broad array of musical material and honed what has become explosive live sound all of their own.
