BIO
fate/dumb luck led them to their first real gig in the beautiful Spegieltent for AK07.
unfortunately, while they would pretend to be a real band, calling it nap club would probably be more appropriate since they would spend many a 'band practice' sleeping on Chelsea's heated carpets.
one day Talita found them. like MAGIC she brought the fun and a double bass to practice.
after that the trio wrote a handful of new songs which they peddled around town, playing gigs (with local friendlies Lawrence Arabia, Artisan Guns, Bearcat and the like) and offering home-made cupcakes wherever they went.
teacups were lucky enough to be featured on an entire page of the Groove Guide. chelsea's grandma was pretty impressed even though she couldn't read the tiny print.
unexpectedly, teacups were asked to open for swedish born songwriter Jos%uFFFD Gonz%uFFFDlez and later, teacups had a smashing time opening for Cat Power and Kimya Dawson.
since then, they have played at Camp A Low Hum and have recently been featured in the 'time out' herald supplement on their very own page. gee whiz!
they are now contemplating ways to play their songs to the dinosaur skeletons at the museum and wondering if one Harry Potter song is enough to get them to the next Harry Potter convention in texas.
written by Chelsea in the third person.

Review by: jellyfishmiss, 30 October 2009Teacups deserve to win, and all these people giving them bad reviews are probably undercover musicians trying to sabotage because they're intimidated.. So don't be discouraged ladies.. just tell them to folk off.

Wow
Sweet sound!
I voted 100% rating for this song
Appropriately titled as it is magic :D
I've seen you guys live at Winecellar and it's a shame the recording doesn't also include your banter.
Keep it up!
