"The Blank Tapes songs felt like melodic escapism layered with harmonies – songs about plants, Santa Cruz hideaways, small faraway towns. Together they have good energy and stage presence which traverse into the audience. Both the performances on and off the stage were impressive." -THE DELI MAGAZINE SF (voted Band of the Month!)

AM Magic
Over the years San Francisco's AM Magic has generated an organic, imaginative, and sturdy style of melodic indie pop--a sound that bears the hazy brightness of hard-fought confidence. With songwriting duties split between Karma Tsocheff and Mike Alexis, images of distant boats, red-eye flights, Barcelona, and uncertainty crop up within their intertwined guitars and Doug Saenz's muted trumpet and jazz-inspired drumming.

Mad Denizen
We deranged oblivious passengers aboard a ship without a pilot, and seemingly ignorant of our own direction, have crisscrossed the seas and canals with our comic and pathetic cargo of souls. Some of us found pleasure and even a cure in the changing surroundings, in the isolation of being cast off, while others withdrew further, became worse, and died alone and away from their families.

Some of us found pleasure and even a cure in the changing surroundings, in the isolation of being cast off, while others withdrew further, became worse, and died alone and away from their families. We have developed a delightful, yet horrible way of dealing with our mad denizens. The cities and villages which had thus rid themselves of their crazed and crazy, can now take pleasure in watching the exciting sideshow when a ship full of us lunatics docks at their harbors.
