The Sidekicks - Happiness Hours (May 18, 2018) Album • Page 13

Anyone seen them on this tour yet? My shows tonight and was wondering about the setlist

 

New song is really cool, I love how warm the production is on it.

 

Is there a new album coming anytime soon?

 

In Chicago it was pretty heavy on Happiness Hours, with a couple songs from each of the previous two albums, plus a new one (pretty sure it was one that was released today). No "Happiness Hours" or "1940s Fighter Jet" though, which were the only things I was bummed not to hear. They also had the lead guitarist sing "Jesus Christ Supermalls" and the bassist sang another song with Steve doing harmonies, which was really neat.

 

They’ve been closing with Ode To Jerry almost every time I’ve seen them for the past 2 years haha super stoked to finally hear it recorded

 

Hey guys u like the new song? U should check out the guy its about...

 

Not sure if anyone has seen them this summer but they have a fill in guitarist and she killed it yesterday!

She took over full vocal duties on Jesus Christ Supermalls and it was very cool. It was really weird seeing them close with that into Ode To Jerry since Steve didn't sing lead on either

 

Also it’s Caeleigh from the Saintseneca lineup of the past couple years. She also went out with Foxing on their last tour. About as good a replacement for Toby as you could imagine

 

Ahhhh I knew she looked familiar but I couldn't figure it out

 

Seeing them tonight eeeeeeeeeeep

 

Hell yeah awesome video and song

 

King of odd that they keep releasing new songs without any word of a new album?

 

I thought so too, but maybe that's just the new order of things.

 

I'd probably bet they're just one-offs from the Happiness Is sessions that they've been using to promote tours, stay relevant, etc. Wouldn't expect new album talk until at least 2020

 

It's only been a year since the last album, nothing wrong with releasing some fun one-off singles

 

wish more bands did this tbh

 

I am so goddamn excited to see these songs again

 

If happiness comes in hours
Well it looks like it's that time again for me
Gravestones deserve flowers
Lovers deserve poetry
That I crafted cleverly to be sung in the key of G
To give a moment some clarity
Well, a poet would say a moment's like . . .
They'd say it's like a picture in a frame
Or the clouds before the rain
The rumbling of a train before the tracks abruptly end
It's the car before it quits on the way to your first day of work
Or the last day of school
Still feeling the cool of the air
Through your patented moonroof
Hearing the blown subwoofer mumbling some sung truth
It was your daily rock block of Jimmy Eat, Joni, and The Jam
It's the calming 'California' chorus
Just before the engine slam
(Hey!) "California! (California!) I'm coming home!"

 

Man don’t do this to me right now

 

Listened to this album the other day. Still perfect.

 

This album is like my go to for a perfect spring day.

 

It’s the season

 

This album is still perfect

 

Strong agree, love this record.

Just wish the production was a bit better.
