Magic Stick Closing Pt.2

The second show I saw at the Magic Stick Featured headliners Scottish Rockers Idlewild.  The warm-up bands were Detroiters Devilphone and the generically monikered  phenoms from Kansas City 'The People"  Hard to find any info a band with so plain of a name.  They must have realized it also because they later changed their name to The Golden Republic.  First off is a song that appeared on their 4-song EP The basement tapes and later appeared on the eponymously titled Golden Republic CD.  The unheard ethos of this blog are not compromised as this video only had one view when I found it.

 Here is a song by Idlewild  Actually it's Darkness

  Another song fromThe People's Basement Tapes CD was called "Texas". I could not find any internet references to this song but recently found a different version with a different name.

Golden Republic/The People - Make It

  One more Idlewild song to round things out.

 As Idlewild was on stage at that April 2003 show at the Magic Stick, the energy of the dancing, jumping crowd had the upstairs poolhall dance floor literally bouncing above the bowling alley below.
