Enter The Mystic: A Blacklight Affair all takes place this Thursday, December 9th; we hope you can all make it out to party down with us!

As we previously mentioned, since we are co-presenting the show with KROQ Locals Only and love our readers so much, we’ve decided to give some tickets away! All you had to do was become a fan or like us on Facebook and leave a comment telling us which Happy Hollows song was your favorite and why. See if you won after the jump!

Thanks for entering, everyone! The winner will be announced later today!

It’s been a while since we’ve given you a great show and to close the year out with a big bang, we’re presenting The Happy Hollows with Epic Ruins and Computer Jay this month! It all happens at The Satellite (what is now Spaceland) on Thursday, December 9th – just a tad over a week from today!

Trust us when we say this will be a show you won’t want to miss as the bands have some atmospheric surprises for concert goers. After all, the event is titled “Enter The Mystic: A Blacklight Affair.” Things will be mystic, foggy, and most likely neon if there is blacklight involved. We have TWO PAIRS of tickets to give way! Find out more details as well as how you can score tickets to the show after the jump!

It was a busy week for us as we headed to the Troubadour once again for another fabulous show last Thursday. With Fuck Buttons and VV Brown helping us put electronica and pop under our belts, we were ready to get back to some rock – some great rock. With the recent release of their latest album, The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night, The Besnard Lakes filled the venue with old and new fans and Los Angeles locals The Happy Hollows did a fantastic job warming us up for them.

The Happy Hollows may be one of the first to have us say this. We couldn’t be more proud to have a Los Angeles band put out one of the most bizarre and acid-tripping videos yet! If you’re a Happy Hollows fan like us, you know that this trio puts out some of the funnest post-punk tunes with all their jagged guitar licks and Kim Deal-esque yelps from vocalist Sarah Negahdari.

However, you may have not known that they also put out some of the most interesting music videos as well. Their last one which made it into MTV U’s rotation was appropriately splashed with a ton of color and this new one for “Big Bad Wolf” involves a similar palette.

When not falling down rabbit holes or figuring out exactly what to do with the potential of sunny weather, we suggest you take a gander at what the scene has to offer this weekend.

• The Happy Hollows | Friday, March 5 | 8:00 pm | 21+ | $4 | Cake Shop, New York, NY – Map | Thanks to their brand of rock-hardness, our frequent favorite here at BeatCrave keeps us hip on the energy front and wielding smiles like sharp objects. We don’t know about you, but among other things, something tells us their lively midnight set was made to well complement the deliriousness that comes with a long day or a bottle of cold, cheap beer. With Forest City, Keepaway, and Tony Castles – for more information, call (212) 253-0036.

• The Bird and The Bee | Friday, March 5 | 8:00 pm | $18 | El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, CA – Map | Mm, nom nom nom, here comes another favorite of ours. With a new album set to be released on March 23rd, Los Angeles’ very own The Bird and the Bee will be presenting the hits of Daryl Hall and John Oates in a way that you’ve ever heard them before (okay, perhaps somewhat like you’ve heard them before, but not entirely). We envision it will be like falling into a glorious vat of cheesecake. There’s currently no better comparison. With Juliette Commagere – Buy Tickets

2009 was a great year in music, and we hope you enjoyed what it’s brought you. There’s been a wealth in reissues and limited edition releases, but new full-lengths will always be a thrill for music fiends like us.

So we count down the best albums of the year. Although there have been some great EPs and singles, this list includes only full-length albums that have been released in the US. Check our top 20 out below and let us know what you think!

As we told you in our review, The Happy Hollows do not disappoint at their Spaceland residency shows – but we’ve known this since we’ve featured them in both our Know Your LA Bands and BeatCrave Fav series. (You can still vote for them in this week’s poll.) The charming trio has proven that they don’t need a member of The Strokes to be a surprise guest every time to keep music lovers coming back week after week.

Make sure you catch them on Mondays before the month is over! Check out some of our photos below!

There is no doubt that Los Angeles-based band, The Happy Hollows, is currently on the rise.

That’s exactly why their Spaceland residency for November is currently the talk of the town.
