Gobble Gobble Glork!
2004-11-23 -- Morgan
Thanksgiving is a festive time of year. The leaves have turned a stunning variety of colors and the air is beginning to bear a slight nip. Even here in California we pull out our one sweater for the season, but not turtlenecks -- those are for fishermen and folks who wear those stupid vests (seriously, what's the point?). Soon, the bloating will begin, and before we know it we'll be singing Christmas carols. Well, not me -- I'm Jewish. But before we make the switch to elastic-waisted pants for the next month, we should remember why we come together in joyous celebration.
Even the youngest of children enjoy the story of the Pilgrims, who were run of of England for being too freakyand decided to cross the ocean in hopes of finding Daytona Beach. They ended up slightly off course but settled in a quaint little area where they could intimidate the peaceful native inhabitants and provoke them into a frenzy of bloodlust when they decided to steal their land over the next 200 years. The red man (before he hooked up with Method Man) was glad to share his food and show the prissy Pilgrims how to live without cable TV and dry cleaning in exchange for a multitude of infectious diseases and the right to open casinos. Everybody was happy, and more importantly, thankful that the French had not yet made their way through Canada to try and bust up their party.
And that is the true tale of Thanksgiving, and also why chili dogs taste so good!
MAGNA wishes you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. Now buy a ticket to our gig at the Viper Room Dec. 4th and show some thanks of your own. Jerk.

Look up. No, not above you, here on the screen. Okay, scroll if you have to. Yes, that's one of the many fancy flyers for the biggest damn musical event to happen since Simon Cowell's cameo in Scary Movie 3. MAGNA has decided to lay the smack down on all the bitches who think they know how to rock, and what better place to introduce to the back of our hand than the fabled Sunset Strip in Hollywood. If you suffer from incredibly short attention spans or just like reading, the invasion begins Saturday December 4th at The Viper Room and war will be declared at 11pm. You must be 21 to witness the apocalypse that will drive a musical stake into the heart of crappy music, and tickets will available shortly through this site or Sean Healy Presents -- avoid the $12 door price; save two bucks with our ticket pre-sale and use that dough for more drinks or parking and guarantee your place at this soon to be legendary event. Support MAGNA and be able to tell your grandchildren you were at ground zero when the world of rock and roll was perverted in the name of all that kicks righteous musical ass!
PS. - These guys suck. Totally.

Last week was a crazy time for the United States. Tensions ran high across the land and emotions were steeply built waiting for that fateful day to arrive. Finally, the nation faced it's greatest challenge and the voices of the people were heard -- cheering and applauding MAGNA! Thanks go to Carl for letting us grace his stage and to all of you registered family, friends, and fans who demonstrated your inalienable right to get rocked! You can expect full coverage in the forums on which songs were played in your precinct, as well as ample media documentation which will be posted soon. Also, we apologize to you alcoholics who may have been disenfranchised and your thirst not counted -- while their liquor license was in place there was still an issue with being "rated" (must be some government jargon).
Well, what's done is done and now we all have to live with the choices that were made...to see MAGNA. As always, we encourage you to participate in the American rock n' roll process, and if you were not involved this time around, know that your ability get rocked is protected by law and that you'll be able to exercise your power to do so again in December...
