The Magic Gang by Taylor Lyttleton
The Magic Gang have released two studio albums.
The Magic Gang will go their separate ways after a farewell tour of the UK in the spring.
The band have arranged shows on May 21st at Glasgow’s St. Luke’s, New Century Hall in Manchester on the 22nd and finally London’s Electric Ballroom on the 23rd to say their goodbyes, while Jack Kaye has released a statement to coincide with the news:
“This band started in 2013 in a bedroom in Kris’ parents house. I remember it was a sweltering hot day and me, Kris and Paeris were arguing over band names. Kris wanted to start a band with around ten members, playing an array of percussive instruments and acoustic guitars. With this in mind, we settled on The Magic Gang and Paeris wrote it on the front of a kick drum to make it official.”
This band has always been a sum of its parts – four songwriters working in collaboration and doing our best to honour each other’s ideas. The most natural thing now is for everyone in the band to spend some time exploring their own creative pursuits.
“You’ll be hearing a lot more from all of us but for now, as The Magic Gang, we’d like to thank everyone who’s supported us over the years by playing a handful of extended shows. We’ll be playing a lot of songs we’ve not performed in years and covering everything from Bruises right up to now.”
