This achieved they set about writing, recording and playing local gigs in and around norwich.
After releasing three singles on Noisebox Records they were snapped up by those canny scots Chemikal Underground, where they released two albums : The Soateramic Sounds of Magoo and Vote The Pacifist Ticket Today.
During this time Magoo played all over Britain, did some European jaunts, played CMJ festival in New York and at Glastonbury in Glastonbury. fun fun fun...
After parting ways with the Chemikals the band started recording their third album Realist Week at their own Sickroom Studios, eventually releasing it on London labelGlobal Warming to great reviews but little else.
2003 / 2004 saw Magoo recording their fourth LP.The All Electric Amusement Arcade and 8-track mini LP. Popsongs. Magoo live in norwich and surrounding areas and London and are still wowing audiences up and down the country.

Myess indeed. Saw them when they played with the mighty Urusei Yatsura... it was Magoo, Prolapse then the Urusei. That's a whole show of great bands that are largely forgotten now.
Have I mentioned Nought in this thread yet? They were/are great.
