Song Reviews
“Up There”
A soulful, out-of-body track that reaches into your heart and plucks a chord. Reminiscent of Ron Sexsmith, it is one of those songs you hear once and love for a lifetime.
“How Could I?”
This poignant, self-reflective ballad gives a bow to those who give up their lives for our freedom, and questions what we do with the honor. This song transports you to that place where only great music can take you.
- Blake Beltram (author of A Perfect Father)

FIESTA À LA ROCKS: Rocks’ Fiesta activities begin on Thursday with quintessential fiesta-style Mexican music led by…Santa Barbara’s modern rock masters Magistir, who describe themselves as a “persuasive, magical stirring of the soul,” lead that evening’s jam session, which is also featuring Ojai’s big-hair-rocking Shades of Day and some solo stuff from Goleta’s Kris Angelis. That night also includes Soul Biscuit, known for belting out classics by artists like the Jackson 5 and The Temptations in a garage-rock style. Dylan Schmidt, Change, and 7-FI are all booked for Saturday, so expect killer drums from Schmidt, ’80s party music covers by 7-FI, and beats and rhythms you’ve probably heard sampled by some of your favorite current pop artists in their original form by Change. — Hudson Hornick
K-LITE: Contemporary rock, though often corny and grossly sentimental, has its place in music history. Its authenticity, timelessness, and rhythmic edge make the tedium of the retail workday and forced elevator schmoozing quick and painless. Contemporary rock even has a niche in the film industry for enhancing any angst-ridden conflict with its flare for the dramatic. So when powerful contemporary rock meets the “ethers of soulful Santa Barbara,” by way of the band MAGiSTiR, the outcome is downright magical. MAGiSTiR, a collection of three part-time musicians, blends the sounds of Jeff Buckley and the Goo Goo Dolls with an endearing sincerity that makes you root for their continued success — whether or not you’re a fan of contemporary rock. They are joined by alternative, contemporary singer/songwriter Zach Madden. Pay homage to honest tunes with MAGiSTiR and Madden at their CD release party and Surfrider benefit on Thursday, January 31, at SOhO (1221 State St.).

Testimonials
Email from MAGiSTiR fan about the song “Up There”
...it was the first time I heard your band, and yes I thought you guys were wonderful! But you played me a song that really changed me.
I have never had a song change me, I never had a song haunt me in such a good way that I truly believe it helped save me. The words to that song hit me like a ton of bricks. At a time when I really didn’t want to live anymore. When the pain was too much for me to want to wake up each morning, when the emptiness that over took my heart was to the point where I spent each and every day feeling numb, I heard the words to that song and it changed me.
Love,
MAGiSTiR Fan
....Your music at Harvest was awesome and sounded fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed it and it sent our very positive vibrations on such an ashy weather day. "Imagine" by John Lennon is a most treasured song to me and your rendition was splendid!
Thanks again,
Yums
