What a terrible band. Everything on K Records is pretty much guarenteed to be horrible.

Here's a video of Beat Happening live. They suck even for a band playing on the sidewalk:

Funniest thing is the comment somebody left: "awful, I hope somebody called the cops to stop this sh*t."

Writing really boring & stupid songs that you can't even play properly doesn't make your band cool.

It's good not every band on earth tries to sound like what's on the radio and there are people more concerned with creating interesting music than getting a record deal with a major label.
But none of that means anything if you're songs are all shit.

They maybe have three good songs. And even those aren't amazing by any stretch.

I have a beat happening album, it was okay, some funny songs on there. It had like 20 songs which was a bit much
Nothing original or great though

70% of sonic youth songs (though admittedly the 30% is very good)

The yellow album with that crudely drawn cat in a rocket on the cover? I think it's a compilation of their first album and a bunch of early EP's.

I was listening to that while washing dishes once and that shitty a cappella song "Honey Pot" came on just as my brother and his friends walked into the house. So I didn't get a chance to race to the stereo and switch it off, as I usually do when it starts. It's the most embarrassing song of all time. If I wrote it I would kill myself. But even listening to it does horrible things to your self respect.

They have a song called "Revolution Come and Gone" on one of their albums that is actually quite good. I'm sure they manage to ruin it live though.

Yeah thats the one. They all sound like demos, not in a cool Adam Green way either
