Brighton's very own The Magic Gang return to the city for a homecoming gig on Thursday 14th at trendy multi-floor, Patterns. Their last tour went down a storm in the seaside capital and we're excited to see them return with fresh material and banging retro-tinged beats in the way that only they can do best. They're a four-headed beast of tight harmonies, guitar interplay and sickly sweet charm and you'd be a fool to miss them.
