About Happy Go Licky(from the Dischord Records website):
"Happy Go Licky played only 7 shows (three at d.c. space, three at the 9:30 club, one at Food For Thought, all located in Washington, DC) before breaking up on New Year's Day in 1988. Though Happy Go Licky had the same band membership as the earlier band, Rites of Spring, they had an entirely different musical program and a much more experimental focus. In 1988, they released a live 6 song 12" on their own label, Peterbilt Records. It was limited to 1,000 and is long gone..."
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Happy Go Licky was an American punk rock[1] band formed in the spring of 1987, and which broke up after their final show at Washington D.C.'s 9:30 Club on New Year's Day in 1988. The group was a short-lived reunion of the renowned D.C. hardcore band Rites of Spring (active from 1984-1986). Happy Go Licky ended their career by performing the Rites of Spring song, "Drink Deep," the only time the group performed a Rites of Spring song.
Though comprising the same personnel as Rites of Spring (Eddie Janney and Guy Picciotto on guitar and vocals; Mike Fellows on bass and vocals; Brendan Canty on drums), their music was vastly different from their earlier incarnation. Happy Go Licky was far more experimental, often incorporating tape loops and sound effects into their live performances; additionally, their songs were often largely or entirely improvised, and featured unusual structures.
Their short life span did not allow Happy Go Licky to ever get into a recording studio; however some taped live performances were initially released in 1988 as a 12 inch on Peterbilt records that is now out of print..."price rating
