Magma (and only Magma)

Remembering back to the Nightwatch on My 17th, 2015, entitled: "The "I Can't See MAGMA at FIMAV, so I'm Going To Take it out on You" Special", the unthinkable has happened! Magma have revisited this fair land, and are not only doing shows in Toronto, but have two dates in Montreal (at Sala Rossa), cheap and close enough for me to attend!! In Celebration, another overdose of Magma!! For those who want to be in the know, Magma is a band that started in '69 and lasted until the early-80's... and then resurrected itself in the early 00's to much acclaim and success (at least more than they saw in the 70's). Progenitors of the ground-breaking 'Zeuhl' sound (mixing jazz, rock and opera, and creating it's own language to sing in) and fronted/composed by an incredible drummer, Christian Vander. I first heard them in the mid-80's, and they became one of my favourite bands.
