Beat Happening was very much a covert punk band for having the balls to go on in front of total hardcore crowds and do their charming amatuer sets that reminded everybody that 1) punk was about anybody with the nerve and energy being able to be on stage and in control 2) that it wasn't about fitting into some uniform stereotype cliche and 3) it was supposed to actually be fun!
I saw them pull that off wedged between Nation of Ulysses and Fugazi, and they forever won my respect.
