   About Magenta


When Rob Reed released Revolutions in 2001 under the banner Magenta little did he realise that he had started something that would take on a life of its own.

Revolutions was a huge success, and this led to clamourings for a live show, so, in characteristically meticulous fashion, Rob put together a band built around his keyboards and the exceptional voive of Christina Booth. The band played some prestigious festivals in those early days, including Progeny in London, and Bajaprog in Mexico.

2004 saw all the early promise come to fruition with the released of the acclaimed second album Seven, a live double album and their first foray into the singles market with two well-received EPs, "Broken" and "I'm Alive", not to mention some remarkable live performances, culminating in The Classic Rock Societies Best Live Band award.

2005 saw the release of The gathering live DVD, a headline appearance at the Rosfest festival in the USA and more yet more awards. The bands reputation continued to increase as an entertaining, dynamic live act, with fans travelling to UK gigs from as far away as Italy, Russia, Hungary, Peru, USA, Canada and New Zealand.

The long awaited third studio album Home was released in 2006 to worldwide acclaim, with live concerts following in Portugal and Holland. In September, the band played in front of it's largest crowd yet, as 4000 witnessed them support Roger Hodgson in Belgium

2007 saw the band moving forward yet again, signing with Tigermoth Records at the beginning of the year. The single “Speechless”, released in March, made a dent in the UK singles chart, and all the band’s EPs were re-recorded and gathered together as “The Singles” in April. The band also played live in Barcelona, Spain with IQ at the Tiana Festival and made another trip to the USA, this time at Nearfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. After a short break, the band played some highly successful live dates at the end of the year, one of which – at the Point in Cardiff - was taped for a live DVD for release in 2008.

2008 has already seen the band pick up Best band and best Female singer at the Classic Rock Society awards, and with the new album Metamorphosis due in April, the future continues to look very bright for Magenta – the true colour of Progressive Rock.

A clever illusion, this exterior I wear
Cleverly built to hide, meant to conceal
The dark reality that I hide deep inside
Tucked away behind an artificial ideal

The rest of the world has no way to know
The thoughts that plague my twisted mind
This show I put on for the rest of the world
Leaving them guessing, leaving them blind

We spend our lives hiding behind masks,so afraid to step out and look life square in the eyes. We pretend to find something else to look or stare at the ground at rather than meeting each other eye to eye. We chase shadows to avoid reality. We chase shadows to hide from life.

TO PARAPHRASE MARVIN GAYE'S 'Abraham, Martin & John':

Has anybody here seen my Old Friend Michael
Can you tell me where he's gone...?
He Pleased a lot of People
But it seems the Good Die Young...
I just Looked Around and He was Gone...


GOD BLESS MICHAEL JACKSON - R.I.P.

You have to be one of the most brilliant artists in the modern prog scene. I hope you can swing by the US some time soon (Possibly ROSfest '10?). Christina: I LOVE YOU!!!!! LOL

I hope to have a review of one of your albums fully reviewed by the end of the month.
