Edit history

Happy Hour is made up of four year 12 guys from the South Coast NSW who discovered their sound whilst jamming in an old train carriage in Gus's backyard. Happy Hour's sound is a diverse mix of funk, surf rock, grunge and indie pop with varying influences from international and local artists. Their gigs offer a fresh and energetic insight into the South Coast up and coming music scene with funky and upbeat tunes that will get you on your feet and keep you transfixed with their electric musical and vocal style. Happy Hour is currently recording their debut EP at Sony Music Studio's in Sydney and is highly anticipated by their mums.

Initially formed in 2003, Happy Hour’s core members, Luke (on lead guitar and lead vocals) and Pete McDermott (drums) have moved through two singers and three guitarists before Ivana Popovac joined the band in 2005 on bass. At the start of 2006, the band was finally complete with the addition of Nick Todd on guitar and vocals. The band plays rock/heavy metal music (mostly originals) influenced by Metallica, Joe Satriani, Led Zeppelin, NOFX and Iron Maiden to name a few. Happy Hour, finalists of the 2006 University of NSW Band competition have also performed at the Mandarin Club several times, the City RSL Club, The Excelsior Hotel, Manly Fisho's, The Gaelic Club and a headlining gig at Mona Vale hotel.
