MAJIC DUST

Majic Dust is the irrepressible lovechild of the murmurs, screams, noise and harmony of the music that shaped guitarist and vocalist Rob Hampton's early years. Along with drummer Jonathan Carman and bassist JR Spencer, the band was born in a sweat lodge garage on Johns Island, South Carolina that held the ghosts of many past rock n roll ensembles. Those revenants can be felt in every second of the upcoming Majic Dust self-titled album. The album opener, "Secrets", immediately sweeps into propulsive drums and a hypnotic bassline, then moves into a dimension that liquefies rock tropes into a bubble of fuzzy psychedelia. Visions of witches and existential dread compliment the expansive reverberations of the first single

"Disappear" while the lamentations of "Midnight" open new doors of perception. The defiant clarion calls of "Hands Up" and "Abandon All Hope" along with the closing slow burner "Rodan Vs. Crain" harken back to Hampton's musical upbringing and serve as next level detours in the kaleidoscopic trip. The influences that emerge sometimes surprise even Hampton, "I am always amazed how people say we remind them of so many different bands that I never would have guessed, but that I could afterwards see have influenced me."

Regardless of influences, Majic Dust has a direct line to the past and a clear path forward.

ROTOGLOW

Rotoglow is a loud, melodic rock ‘n’ roll band formed in 2000 in Fairfax, Virginia by Conrado Bokoles, Dave Cannon, Andrew Hellier, and John Kenney. 

They toured relentlessly from 2000 - 2006, headlining clubs up and down the East Coast.  Highlights include dates on the 2001 Warped Tour, supporting OutKast on the “Stankonia” tour, and Baltimore’s WHFStival at RFK Stadium.  Direct support shows include:  Everclear, Cracker, Lit, and Sponge.

Their first EP “Rotoglow” was released in 2000 to critical acclaim, and landed them a place at the forefront of Washington DC rock bands. 

Their first full length album “Life Like A Lightswitch,” was released in 2003, and contains tracks produced by David Ivory (The Roots, Halestorm, Eryka Badu, Patti LaBelle). 

Currently back in the studio after a long hiatus, these veteran rockers have reemerged with their signature searing guitars, thunderous drums and bass, and soaring vocals. 

Their new EP “We Are Today” is a compelling journey through today’s world, as uplifting as it is authentic, and as powerful as one would expect from this legendary foursome.
