By Norwegian Magic Pie, Classic Rock meets Progressive Rock in a conglomerate of influences from the 70's and from todays progressive scene.

The characteristic and unique Magic Pie sound is founded on strong melodious songs, blended by powerful vocal arrangements, sparkling guitar riffs, 70's organ and synths, and solid bass-drumwork. The music embraces a wide spectre of styles, changing from the softest emotional piece to the more heavy metal riffs.

Even if the band has its unique sound and signature, influences from Spock's Beard, Deep Purple, Yes, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Flower Kings and Uriah Heep is perceptible in the musical "pie".

The band was established in 2001 and consists of Kim Stenberg (guitars), Eirik Hanssen (lead vocals, acc. guitar), Gilbert Marshall (organ, keyboards, lead vocals), Eirikus Hauksson (lead vocals, acc. guitar), Lars Petter Holstad (bass guitar) and Jan T. Johannessen (drums).

The band signed with Swedish record label "Progress Records" in 2005 and released their first album "Motions of Desire" in the same year. In 2007 they released their follow-up and second album "Circus of Life". The total response for the albums has been overwhelming by both musical critics and audiences all over the world, and their live perfomances equal to the musicianship presented in the studiowork.

During the recent years the band has performed with extreme success at various locations and festivals in USA, sweden and Norway, temporary peaking at their performance at Sweden Rock Festival 2007.
