    Russ

    This week’s Flashback Friday is a bit different that what we’ve previously been featuring – rather than posting a video from a band, we’re going to post this July 2007 article about wizard rock from The Guardian newspaper in the UK.

    Russ

    I have to thank my kids for this week’s Question Tuesday inspiration!

Naturally, this led to my idea to ask all of you: What’s your favorite wizard rock song…

  • Question Tuesday

    Russ

    For a little while there, wizard rock bands were rapidly signing up on MySpace not to show everyone their songs, but in order to quickly claim a good band name!

When some other bands joined in, they usually grabbed their acoustic guitar and set up in a…
