[ROCK] A new project born from the demise of The Malones, multi-instrumentalist Elliott Douglas created M.A.G.S. of his own volition, writing and playing everything on the forthcoming Cellophane EP himself. It’s a test he passed with flying colors:  the EP reveals an intuitive tunesmith who combines the contagious hyperactivity of a myriad British guitar bands with a more grounded sense of pop smarts. The results were impressive on the two demo tracks posted to Bandcamp last fall, and the lead track off the EP is even better. In a live setting, Douglas has recruited Young Suns’ drummer Adam Lilly and bassist Andy Wesner from Mosaics, leaving him to preside over guitar and vocals, as is the case for Friday’s CD release gig at Mohawk Place with Bryan Johnson & Family, the Slums, and Kharlos. $10 cover also sends you home with a copy of Cellophane.
