Mad and happy, are apparently a pretty popular combination of words and over the years we heard about various bands, venues that had taken up the moniker. It was kind of annoying. Not only that, but we don’t even use the slang, “mad” all that often. These dudes in California have a clothing company that uses the name and had pestered us for years wanting to buy madhappy.com. Finally, when they were offering enough to pay off our credit card debt with change, we decided it’s time to grow into a new name. We picked O, The Center of Wow, but realized that’s more the name of our space. So now we’re using Giggle Out Loud.
For more on Center of Wow, go here.
We just made facebook and instagram intersections and are off to the races, so to speak.
With some of our newly acquired money we purchased a set of batá drums, which we have been into for years and studying with Don Skoog for the last few months.
The video below is a pretty good documentation of what the drums sound like and how they’re used.
We are playing with a great drummer, Miguel Urbiztondo, and expect to resume recording of the Promise record soon.
Peace.
