Comments: From the promoter, "Working from a sonic template of the Cramps, Trouble Funk, Young Marble Giants, and messianic blues, Beat Happening confounded and often incited violence from audience weed on hardcore punk. In the place of macho aggression, Beat Happening confronted the all-ages scene with Heather's low-key delivery and Calvin's fey theatrics, topped off by his trademark dance move: rubbing his tummy. For a supposedly cutesy band, Beat Happening was adamant about asserting its right to exist, carrying itself with a punk as f**k attitude that would become a key inspirational lodestone fro the generation of D.I.Y bands that followed including Bikini Kill and the Nation of Ulysses."
