If you’ve been at all active in Portland’s garage rock scene over the past couple of years you’ve probably come into contact with a volatile act that goes by the name of A Happy Death. Since they first appeared in town they’ve transformed their dissonant and explosive songs into refined movements founded by a tight core beneath their chaotic presentation. These guys (and gal) have proven to be one of the most hard-working bands in town, gigging relentlessly and embarking on multiple national tours. It’s in the midst of such a tour with Cadaver Dogs that A Happy Death find themselves playing a hometown show at Kelly’s Olympian, with a much anticipated debut full length LP on the horizon and a brand new single that’s on a tour of its own online. Listen to the new single, “Wet Dreams” below and be sure to get to the show tomorrow night. You’ll be glad you did. - Benjamin Toledo
