Magic Wands Release The xx Remix of "Warrior" as a Free Download

DOWNLOAD: Magic Wands - "Warrior" (The xx Remix)

Nashville-to-Los Angeles dream pop duo Magic Wands have released a new song "Warrior" and have made The xx remix of the song available as a free download.

This is the first new song since Magic Wands released the "Magic Love and Dreams" EP just under a year ago. "Magic Love and Dreams" was recorded with John Hill (Santogold, Lykke Li, Nas) - using the same drum machine as Prince’s Purple Rain - and is available through iTunes, Bright Antenna and Young and Lost Club.

“Magic Wands will instantly force you to start tapping your feet and possibly hand clap along with these four bouncy tracks that rely on a combination of drum machines, distorted guitars and catchy melodies”- THE FIRE NOTE

The band hasn't announced any tour dates after SXSW but, as they spent a good bit of time out on the road last year touring with bands like The Kills and The Horrors, one would assume that a coast-to-coast tour will follow later this year.

John McEnroe Joins Patty Smyth On Stage at BB Kings, NYC 6-13-09

Work comes too early on a Monday morning so I'll finish going through my pictures from Patty Smyth's show last night at BB King's tomorrow. I did want to post this one picture tonight though...

Former tennis pro John McEnroe took the stage with Patty Smyth and Scandal for the first encore and sang a very credible version of Joey Ramone's cover of "What a Wonderful Word".
