Los Angeles Loves... The Happy Hollows


The greatness of this band has been witnessed by many this past year but has only come to be fully realized by us after a show in the LBC recently. We've always said that it's not how well you perform in the big, crowded clubs that prove how good you are, but how well you do in the smaller, less attended ones that matter.

After seeing a bit of the Happy Hollows do some Central Second nights at the Cocaine last summer, we thought they were good but nothing earth-shattering. A half a year later and not only has the earth shattered, the universe better be watching its back too. We doubt that anyone could not love this band. Subtle innocuous verses build up to huge, roaring choruses that manage to find the perfect balance of dissonance and harmony that every indie kid loves. This all channeled through an elegantly brutal live show in which lead singer Ms. Negahdari contorts and oscillates around stage like a ragdoll.

One warning for headlining bands that ask this band to open for you. If you value your career, play before them.

The Happy Hollows perform tonight at the Echo with The Airborne Toxic Event, Low Vs. Diamond, and Radars to the Sky. To be fair to the other bands they play last. New EP "Bunnies and Bombs" out now.
