BIO
The house was broken. Instead of fixing the house, they burnt the house down. Out of the ashes of the Whiskeyhounds a new foundation was laid and that foundation is a launching pad for the MAGPIES.
On any given night the MAGPIES are packing houses in and around Cleveland, Ohio lambasting the crowd with new compositions, fine-tuning them for the road. And the road has taken them through the fog-laden Ozarks to the bowels of New York City rendering crowds speachless.
With the flick of drummer Dave McKean's drum stick they can go from Waitsian (that's Tom Waits) to Appalachian-roots to Motown. Prolific songwriter Roger Hoover often confronts keyboardist Justin Gorski with new song ideas. Along with bassist Adam Simms the MAGPIES flock to a farmhouse somewhere in Middle-Ohio alone and unassumingly create some of the most haunting music since the BAND gathered in Woodstock some 40 years ago.
This band belongs to no one. They hail from Ohio, yes, but they are America's band.

raw and wonderful
author: Sonja LoweThe sound is more raw than their first CD. It makes you feel like you're sitting in ceiling-fanned roadhouse somewhere with a cold drink and cigarette in your hand and peanut shells on the floor - it's refreshing to hear a band that sounds like they could play live in any venue. And the bouns - it GREAT driving music!
