Topic: Happy Go Licky


  
  Guy Picciotto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rites of Spring, along with Embrace, (though there were other bands involved in Revolution Summer) are widely credited with creating the sub-genre of punk rock which would come to be known as Emo, though they would surely distance themselves from that label.
Picciotto's musical resume also includes the bands One Last Wish (1986), Happy Go Licky (1987 - 1988), Brief Weeds (Ep's released circa 1991 - 1992), and The Black Light Panthers (ongoing sporadic project since 1982), the last two bands both being projects with Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty.
He also created a record label called Peterbilt Records, which released limited quantity vinyl record albums for the bands Rain, Happy Go Licky, and Deadline, then years later was involved in releasing the One Last Wish, 1986 CD, along with Dischord Records.

Apparently the original owner was going to dump her in the country but the friend thought that dumping the puppy in the country when the wind chills were in the -30 to -40 range was too cruel...
She prefers going outside with someone else, though she is mastering the six second run-out-the-door,-pee,-and-run-back-in.
She's all happy and licky once the person is acknowledged by the shorthair.

 TrouserPress.com :: Happy Go Licky
Although Happy Go Licky has the same line-up as its predecessor, Rites of Spring, it's not difficult to distinguish the two DC ensembles.
The entire recorded output of the short-lived Happy Go Licky is from soundboard recordings from the group's seven live performances.
Unlike Rites of Spring, whose songs were more melodic and less buzzy than earlier DC contemporaries (Faith, Embrace, Government Issue et al.) and who singlehandedly put the "emo" in emocore, Happy Go Licky veered off toward new territory.

Brendan Canty (born March 9, 1966 in Teaneck, New Jersey) is a musician, and is best known as the drummer in the band Fugazi.
Canty joined Fugazi in 1987, before which time he played with fellow Fugazi band member Guy Picciotto in Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, Deadline, Insurrection, and Happy Go Licky.
In between Fugazi tours, Canty frequently composes soundtrack music, primarily for Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel documentaries.

 GUY FROM FUGAZI
Before joining Happy Go Licky, Guy worked with musical startup One Last Wish, where his accomplishments included the establishment of a North American headquarters and significant exposure building in the channel.
It was a really weird era because you had a lot of people who — there was this weird kind of fallout where hardcore had gotten so twisted by the time it disseminated around the country, it had become just stupid and violent and it was kind of a drag.
It was like going into combat, all the craziness we had to deal with back then.

 Happy Go Licky
Plus Happy Go Licky doesn't sound a bit like Rites Of Spring, which makes their moniker decision all the more sensical.
Happy Go Licky of Rites of Spring fame did not play very much punk or emo.
Their forward-thinking innovation would have benefitted immeasurably from a bit of audio clarity, plus they probably wouldn't have dragged the songs on for so damn interminably long in the studio environment.

Happy Go Licky is basically Rites of Spring with One Last Wish sandwiched in-between.
Anyway, Happy Go Licky is no Rites of Spring reformation.
The band came to an end when Brendan and Guy left to join Fugazi—a move I'm not going to argue with.

 Peterbilt Records interview
There was no plan to keep the label going after that but the HGL record made some minor amount of money so it occurred to me that i could use that to put out a tape by the old DC band Deadline that had never come out.
One was a more complete overview of the Happy Go Licky live tapes, the other was a One Last Wish Cd (another forgotten tape that had never come out).
Guy: The tradition of weird packaging came about because when we were doing the first HGL 12" we were wracking our brain to think of a way to make a super cheap sleeve that didn't look like everything else.

Meanwhile Brendan and Guy were in other bands released on Ian's Dischord label : Rites of Spring, Deadline, One Last Wish and Happy Go Licky.
As Happy Go Licky slowly started falling apart, Brendan started filling the vacant drum seat over with Joe and Ian.
By January of 1988 Happy Go Licky finally officially broke up and Brendan officially joined Fugazi.

 Explorer Dog! Droopy the Clever Dog
It's a common belief that labs are dumb happy-go-lucky licky dogs, whereas herding dogs like the border collie are intelligent thinking dogs.
Considering that Droopy most likely had some of each and was quite fond of licking any faces found in close proximity to his mouth, we weren't sure whether we had a smart dog or just a plain ol' goofy dog.
Having been taught not to go downstairs at that time (because that was Shadow's safe place while we were introducing them), he was quite unhappy when Amy stayed down there for some time in the computer room.

Since I started playing in groups, every time one fell apart I was always determined to start another one as soon as possible - It was like jumping from one stone to another to get across a river.
I think I was at a point where I really wanted to be in a group that lasted longer than just a year, or so as well as one that would tour a lot, something I hadn't really done in the past.
We had no idea that it would turn into such a large project - at first it was just going to be some live pieces, but gradually it became a much more ambitious film and it started to incorporate a lot more elements than just concert footage.

The addition of fifteen more cuts, mainly variants of what was on the 12", round out the picture, but make for a daunting and exhausting listen (this costs them a star in my book).
As both vocals and accompaniment hit fever pitch, the tape abruptly runs out, leaving the listener breathless, with nowhere to go but into the next track.
It serves as a reminder that this is all live, of the moment, and off the cuff.

Witnesses of Licky's sublime live shows knew this post-punk anomaly was something more than just another variation on straight edge's fast, distorted, verse/chorus predictability.
This all despite the fact that a previous incarnation of Happy Go Licky--the more anthemic "emo-core" band Rites of Spring--was on Dischord's roster as well.
And after Licky dissolved, two of its members (drummer Brendan Canty and singer/guitarist Guy Picciotto) were quickly transformed into half of the label's eternal cash cow, Fugazi.

Happy Go Licky is composed of the same four people who made up Rites of Spring, and is the fifth or sixth project involving Brendon Canty and Guy Picciotto before the formation of Fugazi.
While previous projects were punk and hardcore based, incorporating varied degrees of pop sensibility and heart-wrenching passion, HGL is notable for being a band that only recorded it's live shows (no studio material), and generally improvised on the same six or so minimal song structures.

 Portland Mercury - Music - CD Reviews - CD Review
While songs by Youth Brigade, Iron Cross, Dag Nasty, and Teen Idles sound old now (though they set the standard for styles still employed today), you can hear the excitement and vitality in the recordings, captured as it was happening.
Pleasingly, certain older bands stand the test of time: Minor Threat is always fucking great, but the bands influenced by DC go-go (Dead C, The Snakes), Government Issue, Fire Party, Happy Go Licky, and every band Ian MacKaye ever played in, are utterly essential.
Dischord birthed harDCore; spawned the world's first "emocore" band (Rites of Spring); bred a new punk ideal of political activism, straightedge and veganism; released lady punk bands when hardly anyone was listening; gave us five or six of the best bands of the '90s; and they still only charge $8 per LP.

Picciotto, Janney, and Canty promptly regrouped as One Last Wish, which moved Janney to bass and put ex-Faith member Michael Hampton on guitar.
They disbanded by the end of the year, and in 1987, the entire original lineup of Rites of Spring reunited under a new name, Happy Go Licky, and played a more experimental brand of post-punk influenced by Gang of Four and Mission of Burma.
Again short-lived, the group's only recordings were live, but gave Canty the connections to join up with Ian MacKaye in Fugazi later that year; Picciotto would follow him several months later.
