About The Happy Endings

“It really was just a drunken jam at our mutual friends BBQ that has kept on going” says lead singer Josh Johnstone of how The Happy Endings came to being a band.
“We were all a bunch of Perth ex-pats, and kinda busy with other bands, but thought there clearly ain’t enough side projects in the world so let’s start one anyway... and here we are”
In July & August 2009, The Happy Endings took their debut album to the world with a run of international tour dates.
The tour saw the band play some massive festival and club dates in UK, USA and Europe, including the main stage of a European festival with Moby, Ting Tings, James Blunt and Pete Doherty, and a set at the famous 'Viper Room' in Los Angeles.

The Happy Endings have just released their second album “Greatest View from Alcatraz” which was tracked between the famous Sing Sing Studios and the bands new home studio in Melbourne. It was mixed and produced under the very cool eyes and ears of Phil Butson. Buy your copy now from www.waterfrontrecords.com or download it from iTunes, Napster or other leading online stores.
