Magik Markers Live 2020
A double dose of good news this week from RSTB faves Magik Markers. As the band emberrks on a run of West Coast dates this summer, they’ve also unearthed a lost remnant of their past, digging up a live video that was shot in the run-up to their album 2020. Given the release of the record in that same fabled year, the band’s plans for touring were dashed, but they met at John’s house in Vermont for an outdoor session filmed on hi8 — distanced, but not diminished. The footage was originally edited by Elisa, but after a data loss and computer malfunction set the original cut loose in the ether, the band feared it was lost forever. After a phone upgrade, the raw files showed up and the band was able to recover the day’s session. It stands as the only proper show played to promote that record, still one of the band’s most endearing albums. Check out the video above and, if you’re in California, see the Markers out live at the dates below! .
