Conceived in a concrete bunker at the beginning of 2012, this five piece from Belgium came together over a mutual love of vintage musical instruments and a shared record collection. The Happy are a band that write, record, produce and perform their own songs. Though they’re a new band, they’re not inexperienced. You might recognize songsmith Reinhard as Das Pop’s master of strings and rhythm junkie Isolde as Daan’s right hand. On her part Naima has performed with Isbells. Add another two extraordinarily talented ladies, Charlotte & Janne and the gang’s complete.
