Happy Box started in the summer of 2007 as 50sense, and churned out such summertime jams as "Tampon Snake", "Tampon Tower (Period Shower)", and "See You Later, Kelli Davis." Eventually, Joey and Richard found an acoustic guitar and started writing songs that they hoped would make the world a happier place. With a name change that reflected their mission to bring joy (and makeshift percussion instruments) to the masses, they set out on their journey to DIY stardom. There's still a war in Iraq and Afghanistan (Iran and North Korea still pending), filling the tank costs more than a tattoo, healthcare still isn't free, and no one reads, but at least there's Happy Box.
i miss happy box. last night was beautiful. even if curfews forced me to leave two songs into your set. biggest disappointment of my life. but i got to enjoy "we are happy box" for the first time live, and i thank you for that.
i love you guys. aaand thank you for making folk the world happen every time. if i didn't go to ftw2 last year, i'd probably still be an indie kid hipster... hahah.
okay, so last february i met one of the guys in happy box at rocketown, and he told me to come to one of the happy box shows. and i've been meaning to go to one for the past year, and now you guys are playing your last show! i will really reallyyyy try to come to ftw5 :[
