An Aussie band, a "collaboration" between Quan Yeomans from Regurgitator and Janet English from Spiderbait. Based in Brisbane, the couple previously used the moniker "The Shits" but surprisingly enough they changed it before they started actually putting out records.

The first (and probably last, but here's hoping for a comeback) longish player release, Welcome To Happyland, was completed during a convenient time of little activity for both the 'Gurge and the 'Bait. A succint 36 minutes in length, the tracks in order are:

1. Chicken
2. Hello
3. Hunk O' Man
4. Don't You Know Who I Am?
5. Tale Of Two Sea Monkeys
6. Ballad Of Mike Katz
7. Life In A Loop
8. Softly Contemporary
9. Plot Thins
10. Theme From Happyland

Happyland gave the couple an opportunity to do what they had become increasingly good at: making music that was like rock but a lot more fun, like techno but with melody, using drum machines, guitars, bleeps and samples, anything goes - and with catchy lyrics, to boot. I am positive a large number of the Triple J generation know all the words to their songs, despite not having voted them into the Hottest 100 at all.
