Beat Happening is an American indie pop band formed in Olympia, Washington in 1982. Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis and Bret Lunsford have been the band’s continual members. Beat Happening were early leaders in the American indie rock and lo-fi movements, noted for their use of primitive recording techniques, disregard for the technical aspects of musicianship, and songs with subject matters of a childish or coy nature.
The band met while attending The Evergreen State College and began recording in 1983. The band’s basic line-up was drums, guitar and vocals, though when they formed their only instruments were a pair of maracas and a Sears Silvertone guitar purchased at a thrift shop. Heather once joked in an interview that the history of the band could be told through a list of the various people they’d borrowed drums from. Heather and Calvin had been members of a previous band and approached Bret, who had no musical experience at the time, saying they ought to start a band and go to Japan. Indeed, it was on a trip to Tokyo that the band members recorded Three Tea Breakfast, an EP that established the band’s reputation.
Calvin Johnson was one of the founders of seminal indie-rock label K Records. The label achieved modest success and continues to hold its independent integrity, claiming to have been “exploding the teenage underground into passionate revolt against the corporate ogre since 1982.”

Best band ever. I'd say YTMO is the best album if I have to pick just one. I listen to Jamboree the least.

These guys showed the likes of Tallulah Gosh, The Flatmates & Sea Urchins et al. That Indie/shambling/cutie rock need not be limp but can be childlike in a sinister & strange way.

yo iancant7 Each of the albums is special in their own special way. You turn me on is their best in my opinion but all of their other albums aren't very far off. In fact many beat happening fans prefer their earlier work.
