Collection: Slapp Happy

Slapp Happy is a German/English/American avant-pop group that was founded in 1972 in Hamburg. The band members consisted of Anthony Moore on keyboards, Peter Blegvad on guitar, and Dagmar Krause on vocals. After moving to England in 1974, they merged with another band but the merger ended shortly after and Slapp Happy disbanded around 1975. However, there were several reunions over the years.

In 1982, the trio reunited briefly to record a single called [r1601997]. They also performed live for the first time ever during the "Dial M For Music" festival held at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts in September 1982. In 1991, they collaborated again on a television opera called "Camera", which was broadcasted two years later on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom.

Slapp Happy continued their reunions with recordings and performances throughout the years. They gained popularity in Japan and toured there in 2000, playing without any backing musicians. More recently, Krause, Moore, and Blegvad reformed Slapp Happy again in November 2016 to perform with Faust at various festivals and venues across Europe.
