The Happy Fits’ sophomore effort What Could Be Better has been making the rounds for the past two months, with standout single “Hold Me Down” currently infiltrating the college radio charts with its upbeat chorus and distinctive usage of cello, reaching an operatic high on the chorus reminiscent of Remo Drive.
In the midst of a pandemic wreaking havoc on indie venues, the group decided to revisit one of their first shows together while supporting initiatives like NIVA and #SaveOurStages in the process. “One of our first live shows as a band was a Battle of the Band’s competition in Asbury Park back in early 2017,” the band shares, “so we decided to team up with the folks at Asbury Lanes to both recreate a dramatized version of that experience, and promote the local music scene that is close to our hearts. We hope it encourages people to donate to their local venues if they are struggling to keep the music scene alive for after the pandemic.”
