The Magic Gang party on in homemade ‘She Won’t Ghost’ video

Months ago, during Brighton’s The Great Escape drunken revellers packed into a house owned by one of The Magic Gang to see the band play a disgustingly sweaty, sour, smelly show in a basement. It was one of the highlights of the festival, a validation that these boys - in severe need of a wash - were onto something.

Since nursing the post-gig hangovers of that tremendous event, the band have cobbled together footage of the night for their new ‘She Won’t Ghost’ video. It’s scrappy, harsh, not too easy on the eyes and all the video is shaky to the extreme - but that’s a neat reflection of the night itself.

Ali Black directs. Look out for a similarly rowdy if slightly more professional occasion this weekend - The Magic Gang play London’s The APH for a free entry gig on 12th July.
