Event information

Please Note: There is a delivery delay on all orders until approximately 28 days prior to the show.Somewhere in the ether/net of our collective social cosmos soup floats the magical, masterful pop music of Magdalena Bay, the duo from Los Angeles composed of Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin. While the pair may claim California as its terra firma, its true home is in the clouds, from where the two emit and output the unique yet familiar frequencies of synthesized nostalgia, kitschy catchiness, and bombastically warped neo-hooks for which the group has become celebrated. Transmitting in both the audio and video realms, Magdalena Bay is an entity adroitly suited for these times, caught in a haze of the known and felt while pushing soniclandscapes woven with the now into the next.Having met as teenagers in a high school music program in their hometown of Miami(Tenebaum having moved to Florida at age 1 from Buenos Aires), each quickly recognized a kismet and kindred spirit in the other, resulting in the formation of a band, the prog outfit Tabula Rasa, as well as a romance. Lewin was a self-styled guitar shredder armed with his dads prog and concept rock records The Wall, The Bends, Genesis, Fiona Apple while Tenenbaum was a pianist and singer dipping toes in indie (Modest Mouse) and emo (My Chemical Romance) rock as well as pop made by princesses (Shakira, Britney). Both could read music and Lewin had even studied music theory, also teaching himself how to produce, record, and mix while making two Tabula Rasa records. The pair took a brief break from dating and headed to different colleges but kept the band together, often trading eight-hour bus rides from Penn to Northeastern and vice versa to rehearse, before eventually realizing two things: one, theirrelationship was too real to be denied, and two, no one young likes prog.It was like, No ones listening to our prog music, what a shame, Tenebaum says with a laugh. We were excited to try something different. So we got into the mechanics of what does it mean to write a pop song? and what is this craft? and that was the beginning of Magdalena Bay.
