Here We Go Magic @ Bowery Ballroom (more by Jonny Leather)
Here We Go Magic

Rarely have a band name and a song title both been so appropriately chosen: In "Tunnelvision," Luke Temple's new project Here We Go Magic quickly establishes that nothing is as it seems. Anyone coming in cold, not knowing about Temple's involvement, would assume that the voice repeating the words "Tunnelvision / Strange decision" is a woman, for one thing.

At the same time, it's hard not to get lost in Here We Go Magic's guitars, which provide a steady pulse at the same time they drench the song in reverb and delay. By roughly the three-minute mark -- around the time Temple sings, "Anything is possible" -- "Tunnelvision" has become engrossing to the point of hypnosis. Which, given the band's name, makes a lot of sense. -[Here We Go Magic on NPR's Song of the Day]

Get the full story on Here We Go Magic and Luke Temple here. As you can see from the pic above, the band played a Bowery Ballroom show with Department of Eagles in January - they'll share a bill with Daniel Rossen again as the band tours with Grizzly Bear this May/June - opening two NYC shows at Town Hall (tix for both May 28 & May 29 won't be on sale for much longer).

Here We Go Magic, whose s/t debut is out now on iTunes and soon on Western Vinyl, is playing a SXSW show at Club 115 on Thursday, March 19, with other Austin appearances listed below.

Before meeting up with Grizzly Bear, Here We Go Magic will headline their own Brooklyn show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday, April 7th. Tickets are on sale now. All tour dates and the video for "Tunnelvision" below...

just saw these guys in maryland - live show is super different from the album (which is pretty solid) in a very good way! i'm really pumped to see them again.
