"On any given occasion [Do Make Say Think] are a formidable proposition, but tonight [at an October show in London,] their core six members are joined by a revolving cast of guests. All ten musicians appear across the evening, providing instrumentation and support for both the support bands here. Charles Spearin's Happiness Project and Ohad Benchitrit's Years; in essence, side-projects from the full time labour of the headliners. However, there's a genuine sense amongst the crowd that this isn't a typical 'headline + support' concert as such, but rather a collective of musicians who happen to perform under various guises, and are doing so tonight." [INDROSSI]Do Make Say Think and the Happiness Project played their third NYC show together last night at Bowery Ballroom (11/29). The night before that it was in Brooklyn at Music Hall of Williamsburg (both were with Years). Two months earlier they shared a bill at a venue located at Columbia University (no Years). More pictures from this weekend's Brooklyn show, below...

Anyone go to Bowery show last night? I was little confused...
I got there around 10 and Years went on....Did I miss the Happiness Project? Or was that the last two songs played during Years (with the full band?)
DMSY = fantastic

The MHOW show was amazing. I see them almost every time they come to town and Saturday was one of the best shows I've seen. Justin jumped into the crowd at one point while playing bass - then thrown back on the stage. Too badno pic - it was awesome.
Sadly missed The Bowery show. Was it a different set list?

I fucking loved it. I wasn't as into the beginning of the Years set, which was almost all solo guitar, but I liked the ensemble songs at the end and bought a cd.

i think the years/happiness project sets kind of melded together.

Not really, Happiness Project went on at 9:30 and proceed to cause 2 people to PASS OUT! The second person fell twice! Actually, the people I was with were feeling a little dizzy during the set as well. I hope those two are feeling better now.

saw that kid get dragged out. it was less the happiness project and more the effects of weed brownies that he ate.
