Happy New Beer formed in early 2006 when a group of Musicians from East Yorkshire, who were looking for a new musical direction, decided to pool their talents and years of experience to create a brand new band.
Vocalist Clubbers, Guitarist Lee-roy and Drummer Nick had, for over a decade, made a name for themselves as part of the hugely succesful and popular covers band "Them Naked Men", playing to packed out venues around Hull and the East Riding. By late 2005 the three, by now ex-men of nakedness, were enjoying their early-retirement from gigging and spending their newly found gig-free weekends catching up on some important drinking.
Bassist Kevin (a friend of the band), who at the time was a member of Bowie tribute "Ashes 2 Ashes" and Keyboard Player Tim, a member of Beautiful South tribute band "The Beautiful Couch" and top function-band "The Herbs", were playing on a weekly basis in "The Residents", a resident band at one of their local pubs in Withernsea. Clubbers, Lee-roy and Nick regualarly came to the gigs whilst out on one of their many nights of "power-boosin" and soon the idea was brought up about forming a new band as both Kevin and Tim were interested in yet another side-project.
A couple of jams at the venues weekly Open Mic Night sealed the deal and by January 2006 the band were learning and rehearsing a set and ready to hit the pubs of East Yorkshire. The middle of 2006 saw Happy New Beer play their highly-anticipated debut at The Sportsman on Hedon Road and since then they've been touring the area, playing their mix of classic rock anthems and modern day crowd-pleasers to appreciative audiences county-wide.
Happy New Beer play a wide and varied set which includes songs from the likes of Snow Patrol, Neil Young, Tom Petty, James, Radiohead, The Killers, Pink Floyd, Franz Ferdinand, Stereophonics, The Cult, Tom Robinson, Kings of Leon etc....
Cheers! Happy New Beer
