You do not want to miss this — (more from) One Happy Island

OHI

Elm City PopFest is 4 days away!

I’m personally pretty excited to see One Happy Island play. And this track off of their EP, “Secret Party That The Other Party Doesn’t Know About,” is probably one my favorite songs in recent memory. Warning: It will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day … or week … or month.

One Happy Island – “Temporary Tattoo”
