Leicester, U.K., band White Star Magic take their cues from the original Madchester bands such as <a href="spotify:artist:339DNkQkuhHKEcHw6oK8f0">Happy Mondays</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3wury2nd8idV4GecUg5xze">Primal Scream</a> as well as the swagger of <a href="spotify:artist:2DaxqgrOhkeH0fpeiQq2f4">Oasis</a> and the electronic-fused rock of <a href="spotify:artist:11wRdbnoYqRddKBrpHt4Ue">Kasabian</a>. Going by the names the Duke (vocals), Herman (guitar, synthesizer), CT (guitar, synthesizer), Micko (bass), and Conno (drums), the band began touring the U.K. in spring 2005, and soon received major-label interest. White Star Magic released a 10" entitled Jonny on Electric Circus in September 2005 and the single Casino 21 on Chromium Records the following November. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, Rovi
