Magnapop, Throneberry - Liberty Lunch Sunday 19

Last time through town, Athens' quartet Magnapop opened for the producer of their hard-boiled sophomore effort, Hot Boxing. That would be Bob Mould, and though he and Sugar did a two-night stand at Liberty Lunch, it was Magnapop I went back to see the second night (no offense, Bob). With guitarist Ruthie Morris providing a furious Johnny Ramone onslaught (albeit with a lot more stage animation) while Linda Hopper sings nonchalantly between the copious hooks, Magnapop is a pleasure to watch, and it's a nice surprise to have them back so soon.
