Li'l Stars & Magic Kids

The Oblivians reunion festivities also included a day show at Murphy's. KC and I made it just in time to catch Twinkle & Her Little Stars taking the stage. Unfortunately, I still hadn't quite figured out how to turn on the new tiny camera. Durn. I really wanted to blackmail Scott with footage of their ace Echo & The Bunnymen cover. Wonder if Twinkle told him that's what it was?

This footage compliments of Twinkle's sis, Braden. And if you haven't picked up that Perfect Fits/Twinkle split 7" on Contaminated yet, you better recognize. Hopefully Alicja still has one left for you.


I did manage to get some footage of the Magic Kids, which is the latest pop outlet for some of the Barbaras/Girls of the Gravitron kids. Goner 7" coming soon. "Superball" had been stuck in my head for a good part of the summer. So it was hard to refrain from dancing around like a Peanuts kid when they played it. There's a fantastic home demo version of it on the CDR collection the Gravitron guys were selling on tour. Maybe you can pester somebody through MySpace and get it. I dunno.

UPDATE: Magic Kids 7" out now
