WHAT IT IS: Blending alt-rock and pop, L.A.-based band MAGIC GIANTS—consisting of Austin Bisnow, Zambricki Li and Zang—formed in 2014 after finding each another on social media. Since their debut 2017 release, In the Wind, the band quickly found their footing in the alternative touring world, sharing stages with Foster the People, The Lumineers, Vance Joy and Mumford & Sons, among others. More recently, they shared the screen with a variety of artists like Ashe, LP, Shaed and others on their three installments of the Live From Quarantine livestream series, raising nearly $100k for MusiCares and the Frontline Responders Fund. With their follow-up album set for release later this year, there’s no telling what to expect next from the dynamic trio.
