| Magic Bronson at The Hi Hat |
What's the story behind how your band started? Me & Mike both lived out in the suburbs in Agoura and Thousand Oaks & knew each other through different bands we played in at the time. I was in an indie hip hop band playing bass & he was drumming for a few different groups. I ended up running into him at a local bar one night in 2011 and he invited me over to his dad’s garage studio to hang out and jam sometime. We started recording & writing the first day we got together and realized we worked together really well in the studio and had a lot of the same influences and it kind of just took off from there.
What struggles has the band had to over-come to get to this point as a band? I think mostly just staying positive and trusting the process. For us, we know if we are always writing & recording good things will happen. Sometimes it can be hard to find the right people to take you to the next level or step, but if you keep at it and put out good songs people will hear them and be willing to help.
Final thoughts: People always ask us where the name Magic Bronson came from: We’d been trying to figure out a band name for months and couldn’t come up with anything. We knew we wanted a play on something, but weren’t sure what. I had recently seen the movie “Bronson” with Tom Hardy about the London criminal Charles Bronson and Magic Johnson has been in the news a bunch because he was going to become a part owner of the Dodgers. In Mikes backyard one day while taking a studio break, I just blurted out what about Magic Bronson and it just stuck. We didn’t find out about Action Bronson till about 3 months later, but people liked our name so we kept it.
