More Winnin’: Magic Trick Tickets for 6/28

by

It seems that the Hardly Art folk are feeling mighty generous these days and just hours after handing over some generous K-Hole prizes, they’ve sent over a a pair of tickets and albums for Tim Cohen’s solo project, Magic Trick. And not just any show, but a live performance at The Academy of Science’s monthly Nightlife event. It’s a great place to see a great band. So how do you win?

The show will be on Thursday, June 28th (just days away) and to be a lucky winner you just have to let me know what your favorite David Copperfield magic trick was (I prefer the time he escaped a strait jacket, inside of a safe, inside of soon-to-be-exploding building all in real time or, or the time he pushed an elephant through The Great Wall of China) in the comments below and I’ll pick a winner in the days to come.

The Daily Choice: Magic Trick – Invisible At Midnight

The Daily Choice

Things that Tim Cohen has done, or is in the process of doing this month:

1. Released the a new, surprisingly mainstream sounding, single from his first and foremost band The Fresh & Onlys. Listen to it here.

2. Stepped behind the boards for the upcoming album by TDC favorite Cool Ghouls. I honestly cannot wait to hear what this is going to sound like.

3. Released yet another single from his recently released Magic Trick album Rulers of the Night. “Invisible At Midnight” continues the idea that Magic Trick is an enormous blank canvas in which this prolific musical madman can splatter his brain paint all over. Where “Torture” the first single off the album, seemed to move down a poppier road, “Invisible At Midnight” is dark and cerebral, a somber jam punctuated by big swings of almost choral background noise. Oh Tim Cohen, what will you do next?

Ruler of the Night is out on Hardly Art now.

Magic Trick plays SF on the 28th of June. Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming giveaway.
