Formed in 1983 while members Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, and Bret Lunsford were attending Evergreen State College, Beat Happening was a Twee Pop band that lacked much technical talent or musicianship but managed to help influence the lo-fi movement of the late 80s and early 90s. Their self-titled debut in 1985 was critically acclaimed, as was Jamboree (1988). By the release of Dreamy in 1991, Beat Happening was one of the most popular bands in the indie rock community. Their last full-length album was 1992's You Turn Me On, featured new recorded techniques and showcased the band stepping out of the boundries of its usual sound.
