A Happy Death
Amidst a cold and dirty New York winter, A Happy Death formed with the intention to create rock and roll music that has vintage tonality with a modern punch. They were soon playing the release show for their debut 7" Vinyl EP, which was recorded in the basement of a Ghost House. In search of a new weather climate, they moved across the country to Portland, Oregon. In the process of moving 3,500 miles from their hometown in Long Island, New York, the band lost their original drummer to a neglected rattle snake bite somewhere in the South Dakota Badlands.
