About this concert
< Seulement disponible en Néerlandais >Het succesverhaal van het Amerikaanse Magnapop, de band rond zangeres Linda Hopper en gitariste Ruthie Morris, begon in 1989. Nadat ze Europa veroverden met hits als 'Slowly Slowly' en 'Open The Door', was ook hun thuisland aan de beurt. De albums gingen eveneens vlot over de toonbank. De albums 'Magnapop' (1992), 'Hot Boxing' (1994) en 'Rubbing Doesn't Help' (1996), geproduceerd door o.a. Michael Stipe, Rob Mould en Geza X, gingen eveneens vlot over de toonbank. Eind jaren ’90 hield de band het echter voor bekeken. In 2012 kwam de originele bezetting van Magnapop weer bij elkaar en sloeg de vonk over zoals ruim 25 jaar daarvoor.Na een succesvolle tour begin 2017 komt er in februari 2018 een vervolg, met een concert in Cactus Club. De band brengt een dwarsdoorsnede uit het Magnapop-repertoire, waarbij de hits natuurlijk niet kunnen ontbreken!

Magnapop Biography
Magnapop are a rock band based in Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 1990, the band has consistently included Linda Hopper as vocalist and Ruthie Morris on guitar. The lineup now comprises Hopper, Morris, bassist Scott Rowe and drummer Chad Williams.
Their self-titled first album was produced by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. as a demo. They followed it up with Hot Boxing in 1994 and Rubbing Doesn't Help (produced by Bob Mould) in 1996, before their record label folded. At the same time as Hot Boxing was released they also released a 4 track CD called Slowly, Slowly which included three tracks not on Hot Boxing one of which was a Fugazi cover, song #1.
On January 25, 2005, the re-formed group released Mouthfeel on the Indigo Girls' record label Daemon Records and, in Europe, on DevilDuck Records. Their biggest singles to date are "Slowly, Slowly" and "Open the Door." The latter has been covered by Eels, and their song "Favorite Writer" was covered by R.E.M. (on their Bad Day EP, 2003). Juliana Hatfield wrote "Ruthless" in honour of the band's fiercely charismatic guitarist ("We're all gushin', but I swear we really mean it, man/We're all sucking up to Ruthie").
In May 2006, Magnapop completed a successful tour of Belgium and the Netherlands, and has returned home to begin work on the followup to Mouthfeel. They are presently at work on that album, to be released in 2007.
