Post Phunk Real Jams...This is a high energy tambourine and booty shakin’ act that you do not wanna miss. Magic Mouth melds together seamlessly the influences of Punk, Rock and Soul to deliver music that will have you moving, shaking, and dancing into oblivion. BIO: Born in the Rose City, Magic Mouth grew from the seeds of a mutual love of Nina Simone and a thirst for tequila. With feet firmly planted in the raw and dirty sounds of roots music, their thorny blend of punk, funk, and soul has catapulted them onto the front lines of Portland’s explosive music scene. Their blossoming success is rooted in the power of their live performance; a swirling storm of sweat and groove that creates a subversively “pentecostal” experience that is more ritual than concert breathing life into the sentiment that music is more about connection to the audience than the song itself. “… It’s like watching James Brown front a garage-punk band.” -San Francisco Bay Guard In 2012, they self-released a 5 song-EP, “Believer” and joined the Gossip in support of their North American tour. On the wings of this tour and with the praise and support of musicians like Corin Tucker, who heralded the band as her favorite new band of the year in Magnet Magazine and Pitchfork, Magic Mouth returned to Portland with new material written on the road, and many new and hungry fans. Jumping immediately into the studio with recording engineer Jeremy Sherrer (Dandy Warhols), producer’s Nathan Howdeshell and Hannah Blilie (Gossip), and mastering engineer Sarah Register (Lou Reed/Andrew W.K.) they produced and recorded 4 songs for their most anticipated release “Devil May Care,” EP which was released on Fast Weapons in September 2013. “...delivered an unforgettable and mind blowing performance and persuaded the audience to lose all inhibition.” -SSGMusic.com They have been featured in Magnet Magazine, Pitchfork, Huffington Post, Tom Tom Magazine, AfterEllen.com, and The San Francisco Bay Guardian, not to mention Ana Briseno’s feature in Vice Magazine for her fashion on the road. “...another showcase for earthshaking vocalist Chanticleer Trü to testify.” -Willamette Week “...[Magic Mouth] will have you clapping, smiling, and excited about music again!” -AfterEllen.com
