Check out a podcast review of Magnapop's 'Hot Boxing' on the Dig Me Out Podcast at digmeoutpodcast. com, a weekly podcast dedicated to reviewing lost and forgotten albums of the 90s.
They played: The White Dot Masquerade The Little 5 Points Pub The Point The Earl The Star Bar 529 The 40 Watt Club (Athens) The Caledonia Lounge (Athens) ......and many more. They are still playing together and have begun booking tour dates for Europe for summer 2009.
It certainly smacks of the Bob Mould high treble "Sugar" production treatment.
Not that I am complaining, just that I've always wanted a richer lower end in his recordings, particuarly considering his work with rather melodic bassists (Greg Norton, this includes you).
I saw them in Red Bank, NJ at some tiny bar in the summer of 96. It was a very small crowd but they played their hearts out like it was a stadium full venue. Awesome show. I hope they release more music soon as I know they were working on a new album at the start of this year.
I was in the front row when they opened for Sugar in Austin back in '94. Man, they had energy. I'll never forget how much blood was speckled on Ruthie Morris's guitar by the end of the show.
I <3 Linda Hopper! Magnapop was one of those cool bands that kinda flew just below the radar... anyway thanks for posting this one! This was the first song I heard from them a long time back on David Letterman.
the beginning sounded like placebo to me

Remains the best concert I've ever been to.

I used to be able to play the rhythm guitar part to this song. It sounded like he was sliding the chord, so that's how I played it. Love this song.

So what clubs, extant and now gone, did these kids play when active in the musical wasteland of 90's Atlanta?

hmmm...true...bob always tended towards the high end, even in the husker du days...but surely "black sheets" suits your taste for the bottom end...
hippietrucker67 2 years ago
I think Bob probably helped write this song., they toured alot together during this time

definitely more engaging musically than the majority of "alternative" era music.
