Happy Family first appeared in the early 1990s as part of the explosion of exciting, underground bands that came roaring out of Japan at that time, such as Ruins, Bondage Fruit, Tipographica and Boredoms. An instrumental quartet of keyboards, guitar, bass and drums, they released two albums of over-the-top, metal, King Crimson & Magma influenced avant-progressive rock for Cuneiform Records in 1995 (Happy Family) & 1997 (Toscco) and then fell silent...until now! Reforming with 3 of the 4 members of the group who appeared on Tossco: Kenichi Morimoto - keyboards Takahiro Izutani - guitar Keiichi Nagasse - drums and with new bassist Hidemi Ichikawa, 15 years later, they are back and just as heavy and intense as they ever were and they still sound like no one else except Happy Family!
