band profile :
A long time ago ( about 1992 ) in a village far far away, a band called Magoo was formed. Influenced by bands such as Guided by Voices, Stereolab, Pavement, The Flaming Lips and a healthy dollop of radio Peel, the band took its first steps towards being able to play. This achieved they set about writing, recording and playing local gigs in and around norwich.
After
releasing three singles on Noisebox Records they were snapped up by those
canny scots Chemikal Underground, where they released two albums : The
Soateramic Sounds of Magoo and Vote The Pacifist Ticket Today.
During this time Magoo played all over Britain, did some European jaunts,
played CMJ festival in New York and at Glastonbury in Glastonbury. fun
fun fun...
After parting ways with the Chemikals the band started recording their third album Realist Week at their own Sickroom Studios, eventually releasing it on London label Global Warming to great reviews but little else.
2003 / 2004 saw Magoo recording their fourth LP. The All Electric Amusement Arcade and 8-track mini LP. Popsongs. Magoo live in norwich and surrounding areas and London and are still wowing audiences up and down the country.
