Last summer, I discovered The Happen-Ins on KUT.
That fateful night, twangy guitar filled my car speakers. I heard a sound that was hip-shakin’, hair-flyin’ rock n’ roll, and was hooked immediately.
When I found out The Happen-Ins were from Austin, I went to a show that very week.
Time passed, and I’ve continued to be a diehard Happen-In’s fan. Their following has grown here in Austin, proving that ’70s style jam never really gets old. Whenever “Do It” and “Baby” come on in my car, I crank up the volume and roll down my windows.

Now, Free People — you know, the store / brand behind all the impossibly pretty hippie stuff — has caught onto my beloved greaser rockers. The Happen-Ins are featured in this month catalog, coming June 17.
I got my hands on some of the outtakes!
The Mohawk’s bear — who looks like he’s right about to eat this girl — kills me.
I’m definitely going to this party. And I’m going to take my new pet, i.e. my shiny new camera, with me. I’ve decided the camera needs a name, by the way — but what? Something reliable (like a Kate) only something exciting at the same time (Danger Kate?).
Do you have any ideas for a camera name?
Also. You want to know something else cool? My baby’s band is sharing the stage with The Happen-Ins this Saturday. Also at The Mohawk. I might as well pitch a tent there, huh? Details on that momentarily.
