Magic Ship and LoveTel Motel on the brand new CDBaby site
Friday, 17 July 2009

We all love CDBaby. These are the guys who are making music from independent artists available on a global scale. They have a huge range of excellent music. It's all very searchable by style and band name and similar artists. The site has just had a reworking a rebranding and a re-launch. It looks great.

You can still buy our debut CD from there. You can download the entire album in MP3 format from there. Now they have added the ability to download individual MP3 tracks. Great!

If you haven't already. Get yourself over to www.cdbaby.com/cd/magicship and treat yourself to a copy of our album. You can download it. We'd be happy if you bought a real CD from them. We get less money, but you get the real deal. We spent a long time working on making a great product, so treat yourself and make the band happy.

Be sure to leave us a review too!

CustomSkins Rule OK
Friday, 10 July 2009

If you're looking for a custom printed drum skin you must go to customskins.co.uk. Their service is easy to use, the skins are of super high quality and for about £100 they make you and your drummer look fantastic

Dave has had his skin for about a year now and everytime the bass drum comes out of its case we know it's business time. Check it out in the gallery (http://www.magic-ship.com/photos.html) and at the Customskins official website:

We break for tea
Tuesday, 23 June 2009

There are times when playing in a band when things click. You're not doing anything different. You're not playing any different. and for a moment you feel like a band playing as one, playing the song, feeling the song. We had a little bit of that last night with a reprise of 'Black Holes don't Eat Everything'. We toughened up the chorus and took the song into arena territory. It really sounded and felt like a Magic Ship anthem. 3+ minutes of lighter waving energy. Excellent. The PA in the rehearsal room is dying. We have been using it for 18 months or so. We're pretty good at getting a sound out of it. Last night it sounded very bad. Let's hope that is fixed up pretty soon. Ad's amp is going home, crackling and buzzing, it's not well. It means a) he gets to get a new amp...woohoo! b) he has to buy a new amp...boooo!.

We actually had a break for tea last night. Shared out the recently printed flyers so we can all get to passing them round and putting them in the right places. Also filled out the agreement for the 6th September Brentford Festival.
