On Tuesday, September 15th, the LA-based band The Happy Hollows played an intimate 10-song set to a small crowd at the Gibson Showroom in Beverly Hills, Ca. The company asked the band to play a set in their performance room, with the hopes of promoting Gibson gear as well as the band’s new album, Spells, expected to be released in October. For such a small crowd and venue, the band certainly filed the room with as much energy as it would take to play a stadium. The set was tight and well rehearsed, and the band played most songs from Spells, introducing their new music to the eager audience. Sarah Negahdari, the energetic front woman, clearly steals the show with her experimental, shouted vocals and heavy-duty guitar shredding. In each song she claims a guitar solo, dropping to her knees or jumping around stage, bumping into bassist Charlie Mahoney, who is doing his fair share of head banging and body lunges. Chris Hernandez, the drummer, masters his primal drumbeats and centers the band’s sound, which is close to chaotic, yet prominent in rhythm. The trio brilliantly works together to put on a show that you can’t tear your eyes from, and their noise-pop, almost punk sounding music accompanies their unique performance.
