GOOD TIME JOHN (TRUST ME I'M A THIEF)
Friday 2nd March
Boom Boom Room, Parnell St, Dublin 1
8.30pm
10e (tbc)
WHITE MAGIC is the songwriting and vocal lyricism of Mira Billotte (Quix*o*tic) engaged by the talented likes of 'Sleepy' Doug Shaw, Jim White (Dirty Three), Tim DeWit (Gang Gang Dance), Tim Barnes, Samara Lubelski, Shahzad Ismaily, Jesse Lee, Karen Leblanc and Brad Truax. White Magic's debut full length album Dat Rosa Mel Apibus is an elaborate evolution from the first release. It is a journey which sets forth into an untamed musical landscape, finding the familiar in unusual streams of new sound -- a new music. A music that knows the past, but does not repeat it. Torch songs ride into dark ragas and devotional dub with prophetic resonance. Influences of African and tropical guitar rise and reel through the harmony. The album is a movement of great proportion, exploring the emotional and the spiritual to unbounded and sublime depths.

ADRIAN CROWLEY
From DREAM MAGAZINE (USA)
Adrian Crowley "A Northern Country" (Ba Da Bing) Frozen into a snowbank of deep sorrow. Slow ages of exquisitely rendered details and craft supporting these gentle soft-spoken insular folk songs. This young Irish singer songwriter supplies the guitars, piano, harmonium, sax, melodica, and his richly distinctive vocals. He's joined by five others who supply: drums, cello, accordion, bass, and more. But the sound never feels busy, its always an atmospheric dream state with plenty of room to roam in. At various points this brings to mind; Phil Ochs around the time of Pleasures of the Harbor... Nick Drake with a woozy love hangover, Red House Painters in general, or Yo La Tengo shanghaied by a Celtic ghost. All in the same country, where the sun never rises or sets, but remains in some eternal twilight
FROM LOSING TODAY:......" the most brooding moment of shadow filled pop this side of Black Heart Procession. Quite personal and quite simply perfect."

GOOD TIME JOHN is mainly Dublin born John Cowhie. We would describe his music as gentle, bright, mellow, lively, uplifting, sometimes sad, sometimes drifting between emotions. Lets just say it has many different shades.With just his voice and guitar he began to articulate the music in his head onto tape via a cheap mobile 4-track recording machine. He made tape after tape of songs, half songs, doodles and gradually he began to weed out what he didn’t want. He passed these tapes around amongst his friends. They asked him for more. Goodtime John was up and running.
In an age of homogenized music here we have a world where every instrument has a personality of its own. Listen to the rickety rim-shots and gently surging bass guitar that courses through Dust Blows Like Sand. Listen to the interweaving ba-ba-ba harmonies and oscillating organ that drift in and out of Arrows. Listen to the insightful and impressionistic lyrics that flow throughout the album’s shape-shifting centerpiece, By The Shelf It Sits On.
Late 2003 Goodtime John made his first visit to the United States to perform six shows. Playing with fellow musical free spirits such as The Microphones and Tigersaw has helped Goodtime John embrace the possibilities of performance, breaking down the barrier between audience and entertainer and playing either solo or with numerous configurations of instruments. 2004 saw him back to the U.S. for a full month of shows including the What the Heck? festival in the Pacific Northwest.
