Magic Crayon is a power indie pop group formed in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1999.
Cesar Zanin and Marco Costa started playing in the basement of Cesar’s house, with guitar, bass and drum machine. Soon after, via an announcement in the Popkiss e-mail group, bassist Gilberto Custodio Jr comes in to the basement’s jams.
Inside Alternative bar (in Sao Paulo) Cesar asked drummer Fabio Barbosa to join the band, and after choosing the name Magic Crayon, the four went to studio.
With Marco singing and Cesar playing the guitar and singing the backing vocals they used the first sessions in the studio to compose about 10 songs.
Shows in Sao Paulo, Goiania, Brasilia, and they decided to record what woud become their self-titled ep.
Everything (except the drums) was recorded in the Cesar’s living room with a portastudio and a PC, by then as a trio because of the departure of Marco.
Slag label helped to distribute the EP and IndiePages (north-american indiepop directory) offered a space in its own domain for the official Magic Crayon website www.indiepages.com/magiccrayon.
The band was asked to do shows in the south of Brazil (Porto Alegre and Curitiba), but sadly Fabio had problems with work and could not travel with the band. Then Ricardo Seboso came in to substitute him.
They recorded an acoustic live version for Love Doesn’t Happen That Way at Unisinos FM, when they were interviewed there the day before the Porto Alegre show.
Back to São Paulo they played more shows with Ricardo in the drums and recorded the Gaye’s Let’s Get It On cover during a rehearsal, which was later used for the Valentine’s day tribute album by 123 indiezinhos recs.
