El Magnifico was an alternative rock band and consisted of John Chase on guitar & vocals, Patrick Hildebrand on guitar & vocals, Johnny Lonely on virtuoso bass, and Jon Pikus on drums. They released a CD, Insanimo Blastimo in May 1994 through Permanent Press Recordings which was produced by Ronnie Champagne. Their music was very textured with layered sounds, tons of guitar effects and up and down tempo drumming. They can be compared to Jane’s Addiciton at times in their approach to rock/punk/psychadelia and the trippy bass lines. “Space Mountain” was their only single and was played on KROQ a few times.
