Magik Markers opens
Spanning noisy improvisational rock, folky meditations, and more, Magik Markers make the most of their stream-of-consciousness approach. When they emerged from a Connecticut basement in the early 2000s, their prolific self-released recordings barely contained the freewheeling energy of Elisa Ambrogio's vocals and guitar and Pete Nolan's drumming. Though they tempered their attack somewhat on 2005's official debut album I Trust My Guitar, Etc., it wasn't until 2007's Boss that the band honed their music into clearly defined songs. Paradoxically, giving their work more structure allowed them to explore more sounds, and on albums such as 2013's Surrender to the Fantasy and 2020 (which was released that year), Magik Markers folded aching ballads, brash guitar pop, and droning experiments into their music with the same intuitive confidence of their earliest work.
The Magik Markers will be making a rare appearance here for their first "local" gig in Western Mass since before the pandemic times. The Markers couldn't be more stoked about opening for Dinosaur, whom they've always considered to be a part of their extended "family". They even recorded a record, Surrender to the Fantasy, just down the road in J's attic. Expect some tunes from this album along with the heavy vibes that only the Markers can bring to a room.
