Beat Happening is a now, happening beat-hip trio that plays a drum and a guitar and rhymes banana with pajama and Baltic Sea with KGB. They switch their instruments and occasionally play out of key, but their fresh, naive love songs are a great antidote to sterile synth pop and nihilistic leather. Heather’s voice is pretty and Calvin’s got the deepest baritone around. An odd, engaging outfit that has recently spend two months in Japan. Their five-song cassette was produced by Greg Sage (Wipers) and is available for $2 from K, Box 7154, Olympia, WA 98507. They also have a new acoustic cassette recorded in a Japanese hotel room.
