Slapp Happy was a German/English avant-pop group consisting of Anthony Moore (keyboards), Peter Blegvad (guitar) and Dagmar Krause (vocals). The band formed in Germany in 1972. The band members moved to England in 1974 where they merged with Henry Cow, but the merger ended soon afterwards and Slapp Happy split up. Slapp Happy's sound was characterised by Dagmar Krause's unique vocal style. From 1982 there have been brief reunions to work on an opera, record a CD and tour Japan.
Famous quotes containing the word happy:
“Ye lassies all, where’er ye be,
And ye lie with an east-shore laddie,
Ye’ll happy be and ye’ll happy be,
For they are frank and free.”
—Unknown. The Rantin Laddie (l. 49–52)
