MAGNA: "I Have A Dream!"
2005-01-17 -- Morgan
Almost 42 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King had a vision, and in a passionate speech he shared his dream of a better America. Over the last weekend MAGNA came together, not only to place bids on child-slaves from Thailand and to lick rare toads for their hallucinogenic properties, but to forge a better America and share our vision with you.
In 2005, MAGNA wants to see your pretty faces. While it is impractical to strip and handcuff you all while we videotape the proceedings, we are instead planning shows at some new venues as well as some bigger ones. In addition to the traditional bar and club fare, we'll continue to ally ourselves with the underground art scene and will be involved with their events.
In 2005, MAGNA wants to leave you in the dust. Watching you cry from our rearview mirror never made us feel good (except that one time you said you wanted some space to think about things, but I mean come on, we didn't even live in the same town and we didn't talk for almost 10 days, so give me a break!), but the mighty road calls! Initial plans call for loops northward up the coast and easterly, so as the weather breaks sunny and warm, we invade...
In 2005, MAGNA wants to dominate you. You already have the EP and own a t-shirt? Well there's more on the way. When the band is not assassinating high ranking government officials in foreign lands, we're in the studio recording and mixing or writing new songs. Do you realize our jams alone yield 4.7 kilotunes? Of course not, because we take the appropriate safety measures so that you're not over-rocked. You will get a new, full length album from MAGNA this year and enjoy the spoils that come with promoting new material.
In 2005, MAGNA wants to surprise you. Is it really a surprise if we're telling you about these things now...well, only if you promise to forget we told you. Here's a small hint: impromptu gigs in public places, producing a music video or two, robbing the Federal Reserve, special one-of-a-kind theme shows, and kicking the shit out of Good Charlotte (boy will they be surprised).
The litany of emails, forum posts, and web updates will flow unrestricted to keep you entertained and informed, but we invite you to tender your suggestions and ideas. MAGNA exists for 17 distinct reasons, and one of them is for you, the fan (but don't ask me to reveal where it actually stands on the list). In the meantime, check out the event info above and join us at Cannibal Flower to celebrate the art stylings of Kristin Baker, MAGNA's very own bestest most favorite artist.
Much like 2004, this year will get turned out like a bitch by MAGNA. Do you hear that 2005, you trick-ass year! Recognize!
