Beat Happening - Dreamy





Here was the unique thing about Beat Happening, the band rotated instruments and vocal duties. Some might say this was done because none of the members had mastered their instruments and others claim it was unique artistic inspiration. That is left up to the listener to decide. What the band offers is simple chord strumming, backed by  crude drumming, on top of Calvin Johnson's deep basso vocals that cover there lack of a bassist. When Calvin is not fronting the band, Heather lewis sweet naive vocals. It minimalist indie rock of the 90's.
