Happenstance have been playing the Sydney scene for less than a year and have wasted no time producing their first EP along side ARIA award winning producer/engineer Anton Hagop (Silverchair, Powderfinger, the Dissociatives). This stylistically varied debut serves as an entree to Happenstance’s extensive repertoire. Two of the EP tracks recently made into the top 30 in the national New Artists 2 Radio (2007) competition and in September 'If I'm Not Mistaken' debuted in the newly launched mp3.com.au charts at number 1.
In late 2008 'If I'm Not Mistaken' was featured as the opening track on the US compilation CD "Power Pop Overthrow Vol. 2" and sees it being added to US college radio. In early 2008 'Here I Am Again' secured a spot on the Perisher Blue 'Launch Your Band' compilation CD which is still awaiting an official release.
Happenstance have received airplay as well as being interviewed and playing live, on community radio right across Australia. Their track 'If I'm Not Mistaken' has also been added to US college radio networks.
Happenstance have played at Sydney venues such as the Gaelic Club, the Annandale, the Hopetoun, the Lansdowne, Will & Toby's, the Excelsior, the Cat & Fiddle, HQ, Mandarin Club, Orange Grove Hotel and Vic on the Park and Windsor’s infamous Jolly Frog Hotel and recently took their show on the road to Melbourne, Newcastle, Wollongong, Port Macquarie, Laurieton, Armidale & Coffs Harbour.
