Saturday’s show at Home opening for the Disco Biscuits showed a curious relationship between the various instruments of Magpu and the force of gravity. The gravitational pull on Kurt’s keyboards was so strong that one of them “took a stage dive” according to him. Meanwhile, just a few feet away, Terry’s drums were practically floating, moving farther and farther away with every bass drum beat. Terry blamed it on the expansion of the Universe, figuring that since he is the center of the known universe, all things including drums must be moving away from him at all times. He expounded this theory at the top of his lungs after the first song, knowing that the audience too was getting farther away every second. At the opposite end of the stage where Brian was set up, the force of gravity again became excessive, repeatedly bringing his foot down prematurely onto the wrong effects switch. Kyle the Gian Bass Player (tm) seemed to be the only one unaffected by these mysterious gravitational fluctuations. The immense gravity produced by His Giantness was probably a stabilizing force in his part of the stage.
