From the archives.

Awhile back, Sarah Negahdari and the Sad Solids (a.k.a. kind of The Happy Hollows acoustic) played at Spaceland as part of a line-up that also featured Kárin Tatoyan, Learning Music, and Rocco DeLuca. While we have featured The Happy Hollows before on this blog, this show is different - besides being an all-acoustic show, the only "Happy Hollows" material covered was their song "Tell Me" (from their debut E.P. Bunnies & Bombs)Also, if the reader recalls, last year Death To Anders covered their song "Driver" at Radio Free Silverlake's "Undercovered" show last year.

This was definitely a fun and unique show that included a cover of Neil Young's "Heart Of Gold." The sad solids haven't seem to have done any shows like this for awhile, but perhaps they will do another one someday. In the meantime, enjoy this one.

The Happy Hollows 11/06/08 - The Echo, Los Angeles, CA.

I first heard of the L.A.-based The Happy Hollows sometime last year when someone compared them to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. Being a somewhat longtime fan of the YYY's, I had to check these guys out, which I eventually did last summer. Admittedly though, The Happy Hollows was an another band that took awhile to "grow" on me, but they have, which is good (lol) They also sometimes play under an acoustic persona, Sarah Negahdari and the Sad Solids, which is equally as great.

This show here was a special double whammy - it was the release party for their latest release of the "Imaginary" EP, and a celebration of Barack Obama's presidential election victory (yay!)

This show also featured Nick Ceglio (of "Death To Anders") on guitar on some songs.
