New video from the happy problem - "Happy Happy Happy" - enjoy it, EMBED it, SHARE it, spread it like a VIRUS, baby! (Click MENU on the video frame for codes.)
New Los Angeles-based power quartet the happy problem are on a roll.
After playing out for only three months, they just brought the house
down at the 2009 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"), E!, Oxygen, and elsewhere. The
uptempo, cynical songs make the happy problem part Jane's Addiction,
part Tegan and Sara, and all a really good time. Don't miss a chance
to see this band live, and get your happy back!
Award-winning songwriter Sam Shaber fronts the band, with wildman James Kloeppel on lead guitar, deep-groove Dee Castro on bass, and smashing John Watson on drums. Check out music and video plus a FREE song download, above.
