Magic Wands is a dream pop band, originally from Nashville, Tennessee and currently based in Los Angeles, California. The band has referred to their sound as "lovewave". The band was formed by Chris Valentine (guitar, vocals) and Dexy Valentine (guitar, keyboards, vocals) in summer 2008, after Chris found a copy of Dexy's song "Teenage Love", on her band the Dollphins' MySpace page, and the two got in touch. Dexy moved from Los Angeles to Nashville and the two began to write music together. The name of the band stemmed from the gift of a magic wand from Chris to Dexy while the two were living on opposite sides of the country.
