The Magic Numbers

The Magic Numbers, the British family quartet that marked the 2000s with its melodic pop-rock, returns to Paris for a series of intimate concerts at Petit Bain. A rare opportunity to rediscover their characteristic vocal harmony.

Formed around siblings Romeo and Michele Stodart, and couple Angela and Sean Gannon, The Magic Numbers established itself from the mid-2000s onwards as one of the leading bands of the British indie pop-rock scene. Originating from London, though their family roots extend to Trinidad and New York, they distinguished themselves with complex vocal harmonies and a melodic approach, often compared to classic folk-rock formations. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2005, quickly conquered audiences and critics alike, propelling tracks like 'Love Me Like You' and 'Forever Lost' into the airwaves, earning them a nomination for the prestigious Mercury Prize.

Their music is a delicate fusion of sunny pop, indie rock tinged with folk and soul, all carried by rich instrumentation and careful arrangements. Acoustic and electric guitars intertwine with warm bass lines and subtle drums, creating an atmosphere that is both soft and engaging. Through subsequent albums such as 'Those the Brokes' (2006) and 'The Runaway' (2010), the band continued to explore and refine its sonic identity, always faithful to this vocal and instrumental alchemy that makes them singular. Their ability to write songs that are both intimate and universal has allowed them to build a coherent and appreciated discography.

On stage, The Magic Numbers are renowned for their generosity and authenticity of performance. The interaction between band members, visibly complicit, creates a warm and engaging atmosphere. The audience can expect a faithful interpretation of their emblematic tracks, as well as the discovery of more recent material, all in a convivial atmosphere. Their appearance at Petit Bain, a venue known for its closeness to artists, promises an immersive experience, allowing for full appreciation of the richness of their harmonies and the finesse of their songwriting.

This return to Paris is an event for lovers of melodic pop-rock and beautiful songs. It's a precious opportunity to rediscover a band that has managed to cross the years while maintaining its artistic integrity and its ability to move.
