Foggy Notions & Imbibe Coffee Roasters are proud to present Good Sad Happy Bad live at Whelan's on 25th June. Tickets are on sale Friday 4th April at 10:00.
Good Sad Happy Bad is a band composed of CJ Calderwood, Marc Pell, Mica Levi, and Raisa Khan. Their whimsical kraut punk and art rock experiments, brimming with mantras and cycles and nervous lullabies, bring the listener into wobbly landscapes and toward spiraling epiphanies.
Their second album, All Kinds of Days (2024), a follow up to their 2020 debut, Shades, deepens the band’s collaborative approach, building on instrumental improvisations that each member reworks with vocal contributions, creating a dynamic, shared storytelling experience. Throughout the album, the four musicians frequently unite in lush, layered choruses, and meandering guitars that add a communal resonance.
All Kinds of Days delves into themes of loss, grief, recovery, healing, keeping a house together, and the challenges of parenthood, all set against a moody, intricate soundscape. Listeners are pulled through eerie guitar lines, spoken word, ghostly woodwinds, and gritty electronic textures, all disguised within a framework of an unconventional “band” sound. Beneath these atmospheric layers lies a rhythmic foundation of drums and nuanced melodies that lend drive and an unsettling beauty to the album’s sound.
Imbibe Coffee Roasters started in May 2018 with an aim to bring coffees of an unrivaled standard to Ireland but to do this using a business model that was different to any other. Although profit is important for every business it is not the main driver of Imbibe.
1% of all Imbibe’s coffee sales go to Women’s Aid, 1% to projects at coffee origins and a further 1% is shared among their staff. They don’t engage in CSR programs that are simply window dressing. When you buy Imbibe coffee you are making a difference.
