Magnus Rising – Magnus’ Uprising
Way back in late 2007, or perhaps early 2008, I had the fortune of meeting a group of Newfie musicians who had recently traded their far-reaches east coast home for a rainy west coast metropolis. I met Roger, Matt and Aaron at a show at the now defunct Club 340, which was well known for its grungy exterior that matched some of the music played there. The fact it’s now just a pseudo hipster joint is no huge loss, but shows a willingness to grow their brand, which Magnus Rising has also been doing in the last 5 years.
