House of Weirdos want to take us all to ‘Happy Hour’

As the world, slowly, emerges from lockdown and enforced abstinence (uh-huh), the possibility of an ice cold beer actually in a bar or pub becomes tantalising close; with new single ‘Happy Hour’, the House of Weirdos – a collective of lifelong friends with a bunch of common likes from Pink Floyd to Abbot and Costello – take us on a mythical drinking session of mildly jazzy folk-pop and danceable silliness. The addition of Mary Knapp on accordion and multilingual backing vocals adds a certain additional Bavarian charm to the track, but this is fun, enjoyable lockdown music created by a bunch of musicians who are clearly just enjoying what they do, and that comes across – clearly – in the music.
Go check out Happy Hour now on YouTube, and follow House of Weirdos on Facebook. Quickly, before the pubs open.
