The Baby Magic - April 28th, 2016
from Radio One Chicago Hosted by Radio One Chicago
This week we had Mary Beth of The Baby Magic in the studio talking to Hex. We discussed the success and rise of women in music, ex's, and how to channel energy into music. Some artists grab your attention immediately, but fail to hold it very long. Others dig into your subconscious, until you can’t get that tune out of your head. When a rare band hits you right off the first note and stays in your head long after the record stopped spinning or the house lights come on, you know you’ve found some magic. And if you’re one of those artists that can conjure up that magic, you may as well put it in your name. There you have Chicago’s The Baby Magic. A trio of hyperactive yet hyper-articulate musicians bangin’ out the sexiest new-wave/no-wave jams you’ve ever heard, The Baby Magic enthralls the listener on their newest record “Rent a Place in Hell” as well as previous effort “Whoopsy Daisy.” Their songs conjure up the best moments of Beat Happening, Talking Heads, and newer groups like Death From Above 1979 without sounding redundant of anything that’s come before. Rather, they’re a harbinger for a new, enlightened, and – goddamnit – fun time. But if you want the full ‘Magic experience, find them in the sweatiest, sleaziest, skankiest bar you know and get set to release your inhibitions and find that part of you that your assistant principal warned you would end up on your permanent record. – Grant McKee, owner of Bucket of Blood
