The Doublehappys

1985
Flying Nun Records

The story of the DoubleHappys is one of tragic brevity, with the still young band shattered after the horrible accidental death of the Stones veteran Wayne Elsey, leading survivors Shayne Carter and John Collie to regroup and continue in the Straitjacket Fits. The 1992 Nerves compilation pulls together their brief mid-80s recorded career – the “Others Way”/“Anyone Else Would” single and the subsequent Cut It Out EP – along with a couple of live cuts to showcase the Carter/Elsey songwriting and singing partnership, a great entry into the classic NZ indie sound gone too soon.
