The Happy Return performs in Los Angeles for the first time since the Fuck Finals Fest last April organized by 29th St. Productions, a USC student collective. Los Angeles was their last stop on their California tour, which began in Santa Ana this November. They performed tracks released throughout the last few years, including “Time Runs Out,” “Annabeth,” as well as their newest single “Sweaters.” LA-based artists Liz Becker and Frat Mouse opened for The Happy Return, marking the first time the bands collaborated.
