context_page_description: The Super Happy Fun Club is an American piano rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The band is composed of local Chicago musicians who had all previously achieved minor to moderate success in the music industry. As such, the name of the band is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the disenchantment many musicians feel towards the music industry. This facetiously jocular attitude is conspicuous in many of their songs, while others represent a more serious reflection on the vicissitudes of life. Current members of the band are Kaustubh "Stubhy" Pandav, Pat Gilroy, Jeremy Galanes, Phil Kosch, Dave Swick, and Chris Mason.
context_section_description: Although writing and recording for a second EP began almost immediately after the band's return from Europe, work in earnest did not begin until the Fall of 2012.  Although this was partly due to line-up changes and the festival schedule, it was augmented by personal losses and tragedies.  The most prominent of these was the loss of friend and fellow Chicago musician Joe Sell in May, 2012.  The loss was particularly acute as Sell had been a founding member of Pandav's prior band, Lucky Boys Confusion.   In addition to divorce, breakups, and other issues, the stresses felt by the band during 2012 resulted in the creation of a much more "serious" album than the previous "Go Fun Yourself".   A CD Release party for the 10-track album "All Funned Up" was held at Lincoln Hall on May 18, 2013.  The album was released under the Throop Records label on June 4, 2013 again to generally positive reviews on both sides of the pond.   The album was again engineered and produced by Galanes and includes a collaboration with Plain White T's frontman Tom Higgenson.
