Best of NYC #21: Superhuman Happniess play Cameo on 06.23 + Celebrate Brooklyn on 06.25

If the band’s penchant for bright costumes doesn’t draw you in, Superhuman Happiness’s peculiar yet enchanting genre fusion will. The band’s mastermind Stuart Bogie’s roots in Antibalas are evident as he leads the group into a an ever-changing musical adventure through funk, afrobeat, pop, folk, jazz and rock. This dabbling in various genres may have to do with the impressive laundry list of artists Bogie has worked with including TV on the Radio and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The band, which has just released the embedded single "Needles and Pins", will be playing 2 shows this week, one at Cameo Gallery on June 23 and the other in Prospect Par on the 25th within the Celebrate Brooklyn fest. – Superhuman Happiness placed 21st in our 2010 year end Best of NYC Poll for emerging artists.
