SUNDAY, MARCH 15: Well kudos to 98.7 FM in Los Angeles for having the very good taste to play our first single "Happy Happy Happy" on their New Music Show tonight, (coming after such little-known bands as U2, Depeche Mode and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), but they got our name wrong. We are certianly not happy people now... Ah well. Still very exciting to share the airwaves with Bono... Visit

After playing out for only three months, NYC-based power trio the happy problem brought the house down at the NAMM Show, where they garnered big endorsements from GHS Strings (No Doubt, Foo Fighters) and Rocktron Pedals (All-American Rejects). Their energetic, addictive tunes have been featured on the CW ("Privileged"), ABC Family, MTV, E!, Oxygen, and elsewhere. Award-winning songwriter Sam Shaber fronts the band, with crashing Tony Cortez on drums and quick-fingered Sean Gibson on bass. Don't miss a chance to see this band live, and get your happy back...

Liking the new sound, Sam. Big difference from the girl with a guitar who I saw sharing the bill with Wendy Woo a couple times. Good luck with the new project.
