Blues Magoos Join Roots Lineup
Last summer the Blues Magoos staged a comeback, opening for the Zombies at The Fillmore, Irving Plaza, New York City. Current band members include Mike Ciliberto, Jeff Daking, Ralph Scala, Peter Stuart and Emil “Peppy” Theilhelm. The group is best known for its hit “(We Ain’t Got) Nothin’ Yet,” which charted at #5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1967. The Magoos appeared at a Woodstock Sound-Out in 1968, where—according to Roots of the 1969 Woodstock Festival—the group was paid the going rate of $50 for the gig.

The Magoos will headline at the Roots of Woodstock Live Concert on August 15, and are scheduled to hit the stage at 11:15 pm. It will be something of a reunion as Ellen McIlwaine and Jerry Moore (with The Children of God), fellow Sound-Out vets, are also scheduled to play that night.
The Blues Magoos are recording new material for Wicked Cool Records, Little Steven’s label. The latter is a big fan. The group is scheduled to appear at a Spanish music festival in the fall.
