Artist Information

Biography

Part sailor and part cowboy, Buddy McNeil & the Magic Mirrors are offsprings of a passionate love affair between the past and the present. They are kindred spirits to a dynamic young Elvis, the early Stones, The Flying Burrito Brothers and contemporary rockers Heavy Trash. In full-fledged sailor garb, Alexis Roberge, Izi LaTerreur, Nicolas Beaudoin and Sebastien Paquin offer a high-energy rock ’n’ roll show jam packed with catchy tunes that'll make you want to let your hair down and dance along. After performances at the SXSW, M for Montreal, Canadian Music Week, Montreal Jazz festival, POP Montreal, Festival d’été de Québec, the Emerging Music Festival in Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Coup de Coeur Francophone, a nomination for the 2011 GAMIQ awards, as well as opening for international acts such as Holly Golightly, Les Breastfeeders, Murder by Death and the legendary Brian Setzer Orchestra, the band is ready to launch a brand new release. The playful pop of the 50s and the decadent sound of the 60s runs through their veins, and they're gonna give it all as night turns to day. The Magic Mirrors will enchant you and seduce you like a mistress you secretly desire.

After gaining due recognition with their 2008 independent nine-track debut album and their 2010 "Help me Mama!" EP paying homage to what music historians christened "The Day the Music Died", Buddy McNeil & the Magic Mirrors are back with a brand new LP: “Introducing Once Again” (A Billion Records). 13 timeless originals crafted with the same excitement that has always characterized their sound.
