Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM The Happy Fits Over the course of ten tumultuous months, The Happy Fits’ world turned upside down in every way imaginable. Rather than let it break their stride, though, the acclaimed indie rockers leaned into the turmoil, transforming all the heartbreak and uncertainty they experienced into their most exhilarating, adventurous, and cathartic record yet. “It feels like a whole new beginning,” says singer/cellist Calvin Langman. “We had to go through a lot of struggle to get here, but the band is stronger and healthier than ever before now, and I couldn’t be more excited about the chapter we’re about to embark on.” Written and recorded amidst an emotional maelstrom that saw one founding member depart the band, another leave tour to get sober, and a third entering an era of self-renaissance, Lovesick is, as its title would suggest, a complicated reckoning with all the joy and pain that comes with opening your heart to the world. The songs are bold and fearless, reveling in the intensity of it all with radical vulnerability, and the performances are similarly, pairing blistering rock and roll energy and addictive pop hooks with sweeping orchestral arrangements and raw, revelatory lyrics. The collection also marks The Happy Fits’ first release with guitarists/vocalists Nico Rose and Raina Mullen, whose fresh perspective, innovative style, and undeniable chemistry with Langman and drummer Luke Davis manage to infuse the band’s sound with the unbridled energy of a debut record. The result is a poignant reflection on loss, grief, and renewal that touches on everything from Fleetwood Mac and ABBA to Arcade Fire and the Cars, an alternately triumphant and devastating meditation on change and growth that consistently reaches for beauty and transcendence, no matter how distant they may seem
