Happy Go Licky were an American hardcore punk band formed in the spring of 1987. The band played only seven shows (three at D.C. Space, three at the 9:30 club, one at Food For Thought, all located in Washington D.C.) before breaking up on New Year's Day in 1988. The band was a short-lived reunion of the renowned D.C. hardcore punk band Rites Of Spring (active from 1984 to 1986).
Though comprising the same personnel as Rites Of Spring, their music was vastly different from their earlier incarnation. Happy Go Licky was far more experimental, often incorporating tape loops and sound effects into their live performances; additionally, their songs were often largely or entirely improvised, and featured unusual structures.
Band members:
Guy Picciotto - guitar & vocals
Eddie Janney - guitar & vocals
Michael Fellows -bass & vocals
Brendan Canty - drums.
