The Happiness - This Sunday!

Darcy [Edit] [Delete] 28 replies 12:33, 21 July '05

Hi everyone,

Those of you who were there on Saturday at On The Verge might have seen this band. Most (if not all) really enjoyed their set, and so I'm quickly plugging their Sunday night gig.

Sun 24th 7pm Rock Garden, Covent Garden

It's a bit of a competition night and if they win they get a grand - this'll go nice towards the van they need for touring.

If you wanna come pleae PM me and I'll get you stuck on the guestlist for a mere £3

Me and SCL will be there, so come and get plastered with us and avoid those "end of the weekend blues".

:oD

Re: The Happiness - This Sunday!

BAMOSSSS!! Are you coming? Who else, I have to get over my not being able to go to Truck depression. The Happiness will fix it. I'll be drinking vodka from my handbag....

    That's a good point - surely SCL won't be there? You going on your own Darcy? :)

      Nah, I'm already going with a few other people.
      
      SCL ain't going to Truck as she couldn't afford it.

        No worries Prole, sorry to have missed ya.
        
        The Happiness were ace, and all the other bands were shite. I'm not just saying this because I'm mates with The Happiness. They really were the best band there by a country mile.... but alas the judges were a complete bunch of fucktards. They gave the £1000 to a band that sounded like So Solild Crew with a ropey punk backing band. At one poin the lead singer said "say bo if you're ghetto" I shit you not. Can't even remember what they were called they were so woefully bad.

        I've never been to a Battle of the Bands that isn't a mockery though. That was sooo frustrating, band that won should have been shot for pure twatishness, they'd lined up a girl to throw her bra at them and when they own she kindly got up and flashed her tits at the crowd - looovely. The two bands that got runners up spots were nice n easy to be categorised, mr glam rock by numbers and mr Reef.
        
        Urgh. I'm gonna run my own battle of the bands that isn't gonna be judged by middle-aged men who don't listen to new music any more.

        I'm gonna try and obtain MP3's from each band to post here and then get them graded by DiS people. I swear every single band apart from the Happiness would be laughed out of the competition.

        I was going to apologise for missing it, but I'm kinda glad I did. It sounds like the worst night out ever.

        The night was ok until the "judges" announced the result. It was quite fun laughing at the other bands' shitness.
        
        Then we realised that the worst band of the night were gonna be given £1000 to take back to the "ghetto" and spend on coke and bling.

        Well the Happiness were excellent to watch and it was fun taking the p!ss out of how ludicrously crap the other bands were and how it would be the easiest grand ever to win, (I was expecting excellent bands in competition). Until the ludicrously crap bands won!!
        
        Also, I foolishly bought beers with out asking what the special offers were and got stung £8 for 2 - pppfffft.

        Re: The Happiness - This Sunday!
        
        I think its a blessing in disguise that the Happiness didnt win it as those battle of the bands are cynical exercises in product placement - My mate's band a few years back got into the 'Budweiser Battle of the Bands' FInal and the prize was a grand and the chance to have your music on a budwieser ad - basically the bands that brought the most coachloads of 'fans' won and of course the band who won have never been heard of again - however - I bet Budweiser's sales over the heats and the finals didnt suffer
        
        Bah Humbug but am sure I'm right - Darcy they be better off without it I tells thee!

        Re: The Happiness - This Sunday!
        
        Yeah you're probably right Prole. I don't think the band were really interested in any kind of Kudos from winning. But the £1000 woulda come in handy for them.
        
        Gah! I won't be able to make your Thursday gig...will try and come to the next one though. Maybe I'll get The Happiness to put you on at their night in Brighton, if you're interested?

        yeah would love to play Brighton D'arcy - keep me in the 'loop' about dates - I think some really dodgy promotor is putting us on with some really dodgy djs in september as well.......arf arf
        
        Hope the Happiness arent too dejected about letting some real proles beat them - tell em to keep their chins up!

        haha, Yar will do. We'll do lucnch over an american mocacino and a salald so we can pencil on some dates. ;o)
        
        I'll speak to the Happiness as they're booking in bands at the mo.
        
        Dodgy promoter eh? Hope its not at that awful On The Verge night. Terrible, terrible djs!
        
        Nah, they'll be ok. I'm sure they'll be philosophical about it. I was angrier than them last night!!

        yeah we need some serious 'face time' but sadly am far too 'time poor' right now - I'll get my guys to talk to yur guys etc etc'
        
        keep the passion and anger alive Darcy - without that we're nothing!
