Beat Happening is an American indie pop band formed in Olympia, Washington in 1982.
 Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, and Bret Lunsford have been the band's continual members.
 Beat Happening were early leaders in the American indie pop and lo-fi movements, noted for their use of primitive recording techniques, disregard for the technical aspects of musicianship, and songs with subject matters of a childish or coy nature.
Calvin Johnson (born November 1, 1962) is an American guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, music producer, and disc jockey born in Olympia, Washington, US.
 Known for his uniquely deep, droning singing voice, Johnson was a founding member of the bands Cool Rays, Beat Happening, The Go Team, Dub Narcotic Sound System, and The Halo Benders.
Beat Happening/Screaming Trees is an EP and a one-off collaboration between Beat Happening (from Olympia, Washington) and Screaming Trees (from Ellensburg, Washington).

 The journal of Kurt Cobain contains a draft of a letter sent to Mark Lanegan, in which he described "Polly Pereguin" as his favorite pop song of the 1980s.

You Turn Me On is the fifth album by lo-fi/indie rock band Beat Happening, released in 1992.
 It is often considered as their strongest and most mature record and was described by All Music Guide as "a masterpiece".
 In comparison with their earlier work, it showcases more lush and polished sound: for example, the 7th track, "Godsend", described by AMG as "the LP's heart and soul", runs about 9 minutes in length and features Beat Happening's first use of multitrack recording with multilayered vocals.
 The album was produced by Stuart Moxham from influential Welsh post-punk/indie pop band Young Marble Giants.

Mecca Normal is a two-piece indie rock band from Vancouver, Canada, formed by Jean Smith and David Lester in 1984.
 Smith writes lyrics and sings in a style that is often confrontational and laced with feminist themes; Lester's melodic yet dissonant guitar swirls and loops around her vocals.
 Merging the personal with the political in their songs and art-related activism, they helped define the sound and spirit of the early diy/indie rock/riot grrrl movement alongside bands such as Beat Happening and Bikini Kill.
