Magic Band

The Magic Band were a US rock band. Originally Captain Beefheart's backing band (together were Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band), they reformed in 2003 under the direction of Beefheart's long-term drummer John "Drumbo" French, with Gary Lucas and Denny Walley on guitar, Rockette Morton on bass, and Robert Williams on drums. For their first two shows, (the ATP festival in Camber Sands UK, and Shepherds Bush Empire London UK), French played drums for the instrumental half of the shows, then switched to vocals for the second half, when Robert Williams took over the drumming.

Off Ground Touch

Off Ground Touch are based in North and East London and boast the twin lead vocal attack of songwriters Thomas and Martin, abetted by multi-instrumentalist TJ Fairs.
All self-taught musicians from a very young age, they share a love of literate folk-influenced rock and roll and roots music, including 60s soul, outlaw country and Delta blues. Thomas has dabbled in classical and film composition and produced the Irrepressibles, Martin was raised on Beefheart, The Fall and Can, and is obsessed with the Herman Dune / Wave Pictures 'scene'.
