Neo-Magics played at an art school party on Saturday 2nd November 1985 at a share house in Dryandra Street, O’Connor (an inner-city suburb of Canberra). They played a whole bunch of Velvet Underground covers and possibly “Hang On Sloopy” or “Louie Louie” or maybe not.

Fast-forward to 2018. Nic gets permission from the rest of the band to keep the flame alive. Covers of Daddy Cool and Portugal. The Man are released. A whole lot more songs were recorded but shelved…until now.

Out Friday 18th April is a cover of the song “Shiny” from the Moana movie, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Lorena Brancucci. Recorded in the Nook 2018-2025 and mastered by Diz at Interstellar Matter Studios. Cover art by Austin Dalton and coloured in on Photoshop by Nic Dalton.
