June 16, 2006From Elisa: "The bets are in that the month long US Pillage Tour won't last more than a week and a half, and we're hoping to beat the spread. With stridently pro-gay rights roughneck trio Lambsbread, the online-slots-addicted Markers plan a swath of rust and airplane glue fueled invection to pay back their gambling debts, with 'vitamin shots' from their own Dr. Feelgood, Steve Gunn of GHQ. Tastemaker David 'D' Arby' Keenan had this to say of the 'Bread: 'amphetamine-hyped Mainliner gobbling speed-balls of beaming white light' and one kid this one time was like, '...whoa, I didn't know they were playing no fun.' But play they did, lathering the beer-gummed masses into an intense, stomping ecstasis and speeding up Schumann Resonance with just one show. The Magik Markers: well, we think some douchebag on a message board said it best when he posted, '"I Trust my Boobs and Vagina to sell Records, etc."' Amen Brother! So put on your leather shorts, fasten up your Antares Auto-Tune Pitch Correcting Plug-In, wheel yourself down to your local BPOE and catch Pillage Fever. Catch it!"

Man, Elisa's new record is great. Not sure what I was expecting, but kind of hits on everything I would hope she would get up to on a solo record. Catchy as hell but some really cool moves to dig into as well.

― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Thursday, 23 October 2014 13:54 (nine years ago) link
Hah yeah Elisa is the greatest. I mean, watching her play guitar live is one of my favorite show experiences in the world, as she is an alchemist and magician and I have no idea how she does it but it is astounding every time. So cool to see the songwriting side manifest itself so well too though.

I like it better than the last couple MM albums for sure, need to spend more time with it.
Funny, when I reviewed the last MM I openly begged for Elisa to do a solo joint, then she totally DID.

Wild thread! Hadn't seen! Glad for new album, and here's a brief review-as-preview I wrote in 2010 for Columbus OH altweekly long ago:The Magik Markers3/23 @ The Summit“America’s past pays America’s rent,” Elisa Ambroglio sneers amidst the lost highway traffic of Balf Quarry, the Magic Markers’ current album. Familiar images and sounds of rebellion are too easy to fall into. So the Markers trace a place where sludge keeps speeding up, punk and metal elements turn pop and back, while busts of gutless dreamers seem headed for the mirror. The tension continues as Ambroglio’s voice and guitar spell out the lottery slogan, ”You can’t win/If you don’t play”, like a neon sign in the smog. Woody G salutes you, Markers!

Indeed -- also, they've been going nuts with Bandcamp Fridays putting up both tons of their old out of print CDRs and otherwise unreleased and/or side project efforts via their Arbitrary Signs label:

Yay...the album starts off great like that with a couple of hazy burners until it leads to the shitty beach where they roll around in the sand and it gets in their guitars and they have a great time. Still taking in the sweeter parts of the album, they haven't clicked as much for me
