The Happy Fits

US indie band in Cologne, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg this fall

Presented by Rausgegangen Munich

In 2016, the year they were founded, The Happy Fits from New Jersey were already able to start that casual indie hit series that brought them a good 50 million additional streams last year alone. Although, strictly speaking, there hasn't been a new studio album since 2022. After introducing the new four-piece on tour in 2024, the indie pop quartet from the US East Coast have since been back in the studio - and officially set course for their next album in early summer with the single "Everything You Do". The Happy Fits will be presenting even more new songs live to kick off the fall when they come to Cologne, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg for four shows.

The story of The Happy Fits begins like a high school fairy tale. Once upon a time in New Jersey, in 2016, founding member Ross Monteith (guitar) approached cellist Calvin Langman because he thought the two of them could actually perform together at their school's graduation party. No sooner said than done, they brought in drummer Luke Davis a little later and had their parents give them a few hours of studio time for their high school graduation. This is how the first EP "Awfully Apeelin'" was created. The unusual instrumentation (cello instead of bass) became their trademark with the first tracks such as "Too Late" and "Dirty Imbecile" - both of which have well over 30 million streams on Spotify alone.
on Spotify alone.

The official debut album "Concentrate" (2018) gave The Happy Fits an even bigger streaming hit with the sun-soaked "So Alright, Cool, Whatever". The first major tours followed and with "She Wants Me (To Be Loved)", the second album "What Could Be Better" (2020) also had its clear feel-good hit. After the cello was allowed to play an even bigger role on the "Under The Shade Of Green" album (2022) (for example on "Cold Turkey"), they also released an additional live long-player in 2023 with "Live At The Troubadour" - high time, after all, The Happy Fits still sound the catchiest on stage,
richest and most danceable.

At the beginning of 2024, the personnel carousel turned: founding member Ross left the band - whereupon Calvin and Luke brought two new female members on board, Nico Rose and Raina Mullen. "2 girls 1 band" was the succinct caption - and the two guitarists Nico and Raina were indeed able to really warm up on the 2024 tour in Europe. "A new era is just beginning, and I've honestly never been as excited as I am right now," wrote lead singer Calvin recently in a handwritten THF blog post(maximum Y2K vibes!). On the road to the new album, the four recently rented the former rehearsal space of The Roots in Philadelphia to usher in the next chapter at their new headquarters.
