COMMENT FROM THE BAND

Joel Gion, The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Our opening act for the entire UK leg of the tour is The Magic Mod, a mod magician who is traveling with us on the bus. A master at card tricks and illusion, his addition to the stage not only gives the evening’s proceedings an Ed Sullivan Show variety program-type vibe, but him taking on a crowd that is only here for music is something to see in itself. The bravery to contend with the rowdy ‘punters’ and win them over single-sleight-of-handedly takes nerve, but when you’re good and you know who you are its just another night.

Why not? I'd rather watch someone like yourself breaking normal conventions than some dull as dishwater rehash of every indie band from the past 4 decades playing songs no one will remember the minute they leave the stage. Carry on doing what you're doing. It's great!

@TaylorMod is a headliner in their own right (or soon will be). Something a bit different but what would you expect from BJM! @soundcarriers are fabulous too if magic ain't your thing.

Of course. I am an unashamed fan of the skill of a good magician, not dissimilar to that a good musician. Magic Mod is up there with the best and doing it alway in style.

Absolutely love them, I try so hard to work out how you do it but at the end of the day I don’t have a clue.

Top draw. Watch every Monday. Never fails to disappoint. Can’t wait to catch you live (hopefully at a gig) one day.

Watched The Magic Mod support BJM after watching loads of Magic Mod Mondays and he defiantly didn’t disappoint stylish funny and Modgic. Pretty sure The Magic Mod will be headlining his own tour very soon. To be someone must be a wonderful thing, a famous footballer, a rock singer, or a magician?

I’m sat there, then BANG, the main man, Mr Modgic himself, is on stage. Cool as fuck and taking the piss from the off. I like his presence straight away. He’s confident but not annoying. Knows how to work the crowd, and is a master of his trade. The tricks are tricky and magic is magical. The crowd are on it and in it. It’s all over too quickly. Get back on stage Mr Modgic! This IS the Modern World x
