Fantastic Magic - Knock Out 15/5/08http://www.myspace.com/fantasticmagic
Over all the sound was pretty chill and well rounded from these neo hippie Manson family collective chanting revivalists. As far as what they were using the set up was minimal, with hardly any percussion at all. It seemed like most of the interesting sounds were coming from the miscellaneous hairy man in the back who manned up the harmonium, horn, finger cymbals and an Indian sounding giant drum. The two guitar players didn't really seems to be using pedals at all mostly amp effects and were both using crate combo amps, that surprisingly sounded good. The acoustic guitar player had some Ibanez guitar that he strummed what seemed to be the same couple of chords the entire show and threw in some warbled psych vox in here and there. The electric mandolin(unknown brand)/electric guitar(Epiphone Dot Electric?) player had a sweet sounding girl voice, used a slide on a track, some sorta talk box wah effect on another track. Of course he was using shit tons of reverb, which always sounds good and the mandolin brother took off his shoes mid point which mysteriously seemed to produce some mid set airborne hallucinogen. it was funny.
