Live Review: The Happiness @ Dublin Castle

Friday night at Dublin Castle in Camden, enter The Happiness. Definitely one of my favorite unsigned bands at the moment. Although I believe their performance at the Borderline a few weeks back was slightly better, this concert still was still brilliant.



They all have fabulous stage personas, and charisma.



It was fairly packed, not to mention sweaty and crowded. But it didn't lessen the experience. Some of the songs had been slightly altered since last time, some for better, some for worse.

The highlights were still "John", "City Council", and "Disco Samaritan", in my opinion. If you haven't already, listen to the lyrics of "Disco Samaritan" - especially appreciate the beauty in the timing of "You can't miss her, she's half the size of a..." (drum sequence) "Sea Lion - uh." Fabulous.



Remember that their songs are available for free download, so no excuse for not checking them out. Catch The Happiness again at the Borderline on April 20th. See you there!
