The simple yet impactful stage show consists of two masked, cloaked figures with a glowing line of light across where the eyes would be. That and, naturally, Daft Punk and that band's anonymous yet unmistakable stage personae. Vangelis, Giorgio Moroder, John Carpenter and Jean Michel Jarre provided a bit of musical inspiration behind Magic Sword's sound. The group wrote songs that wouldn't be out of place in films like Buckaroo Banzai, Blade Runner, Wavelength, Time Bandits and The Keep.
The stars aligned and I met Shay Plummer and the rest of Magic Sword, and it felt right. It was the one constant in my life - '80s epic soundtrack music. Day seven it dawned on me that this is what I wanted to do. I didn't do it to go get clarity on my music I did it because a buddy of mine had had such great results with it. “It was ten days, and you meditate eight to ten hours a day. The group originated when The Keeper became a little lost as a musician - and perhaps in life in general - and sought an unorthodox method of regaining focus. “I went to Vipassana, a meditation retreat,” reveals The Keeper. The latter “weaves the web of the universe,” according to a bandmember known as The Keeper. This mysterious trio hails from Boise and two of the musicians perform incognito while a third member handles the projections in a way that is far from obvious. “I try to set up in a way that you can't see it, because I feel like it ruins the magic when you see hot dogs being made,” says that member, who's known as The Weaver. Perhaps the most unusual act of this past weekend's Underground Music Showcase was Magic Sword.
