Austin Sound

Magic Jewels serves as one of the flagship forces behind the Black Fontanelle collective, the DIY multi-media group working out of their compound in north Austin. The trio of irregular Joes unleash a wicked barrage of psychedelic noise and mind-bending destruction with a heavy-metal heart, furiously unkempt and with a biting sense of humor. The group recently dropped a six song EP (with at least 32 different versions of cover art to choose from!), and has a 12″ planned for later this year, as well as their debut full length. While it’s difficult to take the Jewels head on, their winding, oblique force of distortion hits from all sides and is, to say the least, an experience live. You can get be-Jeweled this Saturday at Red 7 as the trio rides with a stellar lineup of local garage groovers the Strange Boys and L.A.’s Mika Miko.
