Magic Band

The Magic Band were a US rock band. Originally Captain Beefheart's backing band (together were Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band), they reformed in 2003 under the direction of Beefheart's long-term drummer John "Drumbo" French, with Gary Lucas and Denny Walley on guitar, Rockette Morton on bass, and Robert Williams on drums. For their first two shows, (the ATP festival in Camber Sands UK, and Shepherds Bush Empire London UK), French played drums for the instrumental half of the shows, then switched to vocals for the second half, when Robert Williams took over the drumming.
