NEWS

We just wrapped up recording our upcoming EP...and getting ready to have a CD release party. Stay tuned.

February 2009:

Listen to "I'm Down I'm Alive", a song from our upcoming EP Clutch at the Branch...just click on the mini player above.

WELCOME

Based out of San Francisco and Oakland, CA, Happy Idiot is Luis Valentino (singer/guitar), Scott Barnes (drums), and Alan Stonebraker (bass).

Happy Idiot has been building a fan base playing clubs throughout the Bay Area — most recently Thee Parkside, and Bender's which in a strange twist, burned to the ground after we played there. Well, not right after we played there...

This post-punk trio’s sound is fueled by edgy late 60’s/early 70’s rock combined with garage. Along with the ferocious guitar crunch of The Jesus Lizard and the sonic rush of The MC5, a tight, powerful rhythm section and sweeping time signatures make this one of the most idiosyncratic bands of the Bay Area. See them live and experience the sensation of low flying aircraft.

UPCOMING SHOWS

In studio working on EP. Details coming soon.
