Happiness Boys(2)

:(This page is about the American Avantgarde duo. For the American radio program of the same name, see Happiness Boys).
The Happiness Boys were an American duo consisting of Stephen Nester and Edward Bobb. A pioneer of avant-garde music in Miami, Bobb began performing publicly in the early Eighties as half of the Neutronics, which shortly thereafter became the Happiness Boys. Employing the then cool Casio keyboard, electronic drums, and sequencers, Bobb and partner Stephen Nester performed live over taped sounds, introducing audiences to their brand of insistent, polyrhythmic techno. After releasing two albums on the Miami-based Duotone label, the Boys parted ways in 1984 and Bobb embarked on a solo career, composing dance scores and creating performance art pieces and video and sound installations in clubs and museums.

Peel played their material on his shows in 1984, but didn't seem to play any further material, as the group only released one single and album before splitting during that year.
