The who mzgic bus
The Who, one of rock’s most iconic bands, made the charts in 1964 with their hit song, “Can’t Explain.” That was the beginning of their amazing journey. Still performing more than 50 years later, The Who can be heard in commercials, television theme songs and on the radio.
Magic Bus, a tribute band based in Portland, ME, captures the sound and feel of The Who. We’ll take you on a tour of the rock band’s discography, covering songs from “My Generation” to “Who Are You.” We also perform select songs from the rock operas “Tommy” and “Quadrophenia.”
THE BAND
Paul Bessa (Roger Daltrey)
SINGER, PIANO, ACOUSTIC GUITAR, HARMONICA
Paul comes from the New York area and is now living in Portland for the past 10 years. His introduction to music began with drums at 15 and then after that he taught himself piano and guitar. He’s played in several rock bands growing up listening to Led Zeppelin, Beatles and such. In 1997 he got a recording contract in Hollywood of his own music. Living in Portland he gives vocal lessons and performs the music of The Who. His vocal style sounds like Daltrey’s and with Paul’s talent on acoustic guitar, keyboards and harmonica each song is rich with sound.
Andy Pappas (Pete Townshend)
LEAD GUITAR, VOCALS
Andy’s love for classic rock began at a very early age. Listening to Elton John as a young boy sent him on a musical journey, later becoming fully immersed in the classic rock genre. His main influences being Deep Purple, Yes, Van Halen, and Rush, Andy eats, sleeps, and breathes everything rock music. His passion for guitar started him playing at the age of 12, and in a band by 13. A self-taught musician, Andy has continued to be in bands his whole life up to the present day. His passion for The Who and his musical talent make him up to the task for the role of Pete Townshend. His life’s mission is to keep classic rock alive and well, and is very grateful for the opportunity to play in Magic Bus!
Mike Meservey (Keith Moon)
DRUMMER, BACKUP VOCALS
Mike was born with drum sticks in his hands. After his parents gave him his first drum it has been chaos from day one. Playing in bands traveling six states and two countries Mike honed his craft. Hearing Who tunes all his musical life he now takes on the high-profile part of drummer Keith Moon.
Mike has studied Moon’s drumming and say’s “It’s an ongoing process. Keith is like a big band drummer in a rock band. You can’t appreciate his genius until you learn his unpredictable style.” Mike is the “Bellboy”.
Rich Pierpont (John Entwistle)
BASSIST, BACKUP VOCALS
Rich steps up to the job of bassist John Entwistle. His many times great-grandfather wrote ‘Jingle Bells‘, and his father was in a competitive “Barbershop Quartet”. After not getting blessed with any of those particular musical genes, luckily there was a bass clef gene still kicking around. Blessed with an ear for music and ten nimble fingers, although a baker’s dozen would have made the task at hand much easier, the journey had begun. With blisters under callus, and groves in his fingertips… it’s back to the future, flirting around the octaves emulating the great “Thunder Fingers”. Rich is endorsed by CP Thornton Guitars.
Cards on the table here -- I consider The Who to be the greatest band in the history of rock and roll. I'm not saying they're my favorite band. Some days they are, other days it might be Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Yes, or even The Good Rats. But looking at it as objectively as I can, when you consider their achievements -- the genius writing of Pete Townshend (and I don't use that word loosely); the musical expertise of each of the band's members; the chemistry of the band; their accomplishments as a live band; and their studio album output (they have at least three albums that are ranked among rock's all-time greatest -- hell, they're the only band on my Sputnik ratings list to have three albums rated 5's, and I've only awarded 14 albums a 5 rating over 50 years of music) -- I think you can see why I say this. All of this is a huge disclaimer, of sorts. I want you to understand where I'm coming from, so if you're one of those who doesn't like this band, or who doesn't share my opinion of their greatness, you're going to want to knock at least a star or so off my rating.

Reviews for "Get Witchy with Your Lipstick Choice: Smashbox Witchy Lipstick Collection"
- Sarah - 2/5 rating - I was really excited to try the Smashbox Witchy lipstick, but I was sorely disappointed. The color in the tube looked beautiful, but once I applied it, it was streaky and uneven. It also felt very drying on my lips, and within an hour, it had started to crack and flake off. I tried applying it with a lip brush and directly from the tube, but I couldn't get it to look smooth and opaque. Unfortunately, this is not a lipstick I would recommend.
- Emily - 3/5 rating - The Smashbox Witchy lipstick is not terrible, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The color is gorgeous, but the formula is just okay. It applies smoothly, but it feels quite heavy on the lips and has a strong scent that I didn't like. It also didn't last very long on me, and I found myself having to reapply every couple of hours. Overall, it's an average lipstick that I probably wouldn't repurchase.
- Jessica - 2/5 rating - I was really disappointed with the Smashbox Witchy lipstick. The color looked so promising, but it turned out to be much more sheer than I expected. I had to layer it multiple times to get decent coverage, and even then, it still looked patchy. It also didn't apply evenly and had a tendency to settle into the fine lines on my lips. The formula also felt quite drying, and I couldn't wear it for long without feeling the need to apply lip balm. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this lipstick.
