It's the debut episode of Celine of Checkered Past's spin off podcast, Witchy With Michi! In the podcast, Celine welcomes Michi of the band Mega Infinity to explore all things Astrology, Tarot and Witchcraft. They open with their spiritual backgrounds, compare birth charts and end with an on-air reading! It has all the Checkered Past goofiness, but now it's Celine's element!
Mega Infinity
With the music industry at a standstill during early pandemic times, it became evident that bands would have to evolve. One band that tried new things and put themselves out there is Long Island’s Mega Infinity. Instead of moping around and packing it in, Mega Infinity emerged as a powerhouse in the digital and social space. With their Megawednesday Twitch series, they accomplished several things. Not only did they promote themselves, but their show served as a launching pad for other independent bands too. One other happy side effect is the community they built along the way.
From a personal perspective, their show led me to at least three new bands this year. The fact they featured so many bands on their show also speaks to their level of commitment to the scene. Seeing that support just makes you want to see certain bands succeed even more. Mega Infinity is one of those bands. They deserve the world.
Together, they make an eclectic mix of indie, emo, pop, hip-hop, shoegaze, and progressive rock. The real magic here is how seamlessly they fit their many influences into a cohesive batch of songs on Rainbow Heartache. It’s a dreamy pop, genre-bending masterpiece to be sure.
