Don't You Know Who I Am? (1998 - Polydor/567 341-2)
Hello!
Happyland formed 1998 // disbanded 1999
Originally called "The Shits", Happyland was a side-project of Regurgitator's Quan Yeomans and Spiderbait's Janet English, who were romantically linked at the time. The couple, as "The Shits", had previously produced the distinctive 3D animated videos and artwork for their bands at the time.
Musically, the band's only album, Welcome to Happyland, can be described as a logical conclusion of Unit-era Regurgitator's synthesiser-heavy techno rock, combined with English's high-pitched pop vocals. Two of the album's songs "Don't You Know Who I Am?" and "Hello!" made it into Triple J's "Hottest 100" listeners' poll for 1998.
The group toured to four Australian cities on the 1999 Big Day Out tour, with the band members performing in fluffy animal cosumes. The group has not been active since 1999 and English has confirmed that the project was just a "fun time off" from their respective bands.
