It’s been brought to our attention that we’ve had a mention in the July-August issue of Shindig, a pysch, garage, beat, powerpop, folk magazine. It’s just a short piece in a section called “My Generation… Your Generation”, written by Phil Istine on new bands to watch out for.

Here’s what was written:

“The Silver Wizard Project, also from London, would be included here if only because they have a kraut-psych song called ‘Psychedelic Fucking Machine’. The real ale-supping five-piece group seem too rural in appearance for the capital, but then the sound does have a hard, almost metalic edge to the songs that I reckon puts them in the rarely spotted gothic-folk-psych genre. With their violins, theremin, and outlandish stage attire, the ‘fairytale rock collective’ are most definitely out there on their own, and all power to them for that.”

The Tamworth Herald has a review of our last gig at Spitfire (14/6/08):

“…it was down to out-of-town band The Silver Wizard Project to open up the show.

The band, who had travelled all the way up from London, played a well received and performed set of psychedelic folk rock, containing ancient poems revived from years gone by and other off-the-wall ideas.

The combination of the theremin and violin gave a haunting depth to their sound and, as a whole, they produced something entirely different for a local show.”
