The Magnets are a V'n'B group (vocals & beats), making acappella music
as you've never heard it before, sophisticated, sexy, and loud. Attracting an
incredibly wide-ranging audience where ever they play, this amazing 'band with
no instruments' have entertained millions across Europe and Asia in concert and
on TV and radio. "Slick, entertaining,
with infectious groove.." Time Out
The Magnets music is founded on the sounds they can make from their mouths alone.
Genius vocal percussionist Andy provides the groove. From bass drum to high hat,
he produces entire drum tracks with his mouth. Derek adds the bass, while James,
Michael, Nic and Steve provide the layers of harmony and lead vocals on top. |

"Six sharp-suited vocalists with talent in
abundance and a highly original, note-perfect act…a breathtaking live show"
Metro Born in London out of an amalgamation
of friendships, college shows and luck, the band released their debut album 'Giving
It All That' on EMI/Capitol in 2001, and their second album 'Another Place' in
2003. Both albums were recognised at the acappella 'Grammies', the CARAs (Contemporary
Acappella Recording Awards), winning the awards for best song in 2001 and 2003,
alongside numerous other nominations. "It's
acappella and it's ace" Smash Hits In
their element live, a Magnets concert presents a unique combination of musical
sophistication, showmanship and soul. Performing for up to two hours, the show
is a synthesis of the band's award winning original material, and their acappella
take on classic songs by artists such as Elvis, The Turtles, and the Jackson 5.
However, The Magnets are not too cool to party, and the songs are spiced with
humour, dancing, audience participation, and of course Andy 'Lips' Frost's house
destroying vocal drum solo. |
