Biography

Magick is the ferociously individualistic vision of
founding members Robert Hanna (singer) and Angga
Tarmizi (guitarist), two life long friends who first
started playing music together in high school in the
mid-90s.

After gigging extensively in their native Austin, Texas, the hand of fate separated the band for a time, but the plans were laid early on for a reunion.

The members knew instinctively the day would come when they would reunite and proceed with fulfilling the band’s destiny. After a four-year separation, a new and improved Magick, now in their early 20s, regrouped and relocated to Boston, now focused on nothing else but bringing that dream to life.

Having been active performers in Austin and abroad, the members of Magick cover a wide range of musical backgrounds extending from hard rock to jazz-fusion to eclectic electronic experimentation. This is reflected in the diverse songwriting styles of the band, which include all these elements but are still packaged in a melodic pop rock setting.

Inspired by the legends of the past (Hendrix, Zeppelin, Sabbath), Magick is currently influenced by modern groups such as U2, Econoline Crush, and Incubus.

With a new EP and rhythm section, Magick now plays frequently in the Greater Boston area, with eyes set on future expansion. The band sees every live performance as an opportunity to give the audience not only an unbelievable show, but also a chance to share unforgettable moments that can only be described in the human conscious as ‘magick’.
