ABOUT FAKE HAPPY

Bringing the Early Era Back to Life
Formed out of a shared passion for Paramore’s raw energy and emo-pop anthems, Fake Happy is a powerhouse band dedicated to reviving the spirit of Paramore’s early years. With a focus on the band’s formative era. From their 2005 debut All We Know Is Falling through the explosive Riot! (2007) and the emotionally charged Brand New Eyes (2009),  Fake Happy delivers an authentic, high-energy performance that transports fans back to the golden age of pop-punk. Sprinkle in songs from a couple of the later albums including the self-titled record Paramore (2013) and the fifth studio record After Laughter (2017), Fake Happy have curated a live performance fans can appreciate no matter what era you enjoy!

Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, the members of Fake Happy are lifelong Paramore fans who bring their own passion and musicianship to the stage, capturing everything from Hayley Williams’ iconic vocal power to the band’s signature mix of punk aggression and melodic hooks. From the driving riffs of “Pressure” to the anthemic singalongs of “Misery Business” and “Ignorance,” Fake Happy recreates the magic of Paramore’s early live shows, complete with dynamic stage presence and electric crowd interaction.

Whether you’re a longtime fan longing for the emo nostalgia of Warped Tour days or a new listener discovering Paramore’s roots, Fake Happy promises an unforgettable experience… one that celebrates the heart, soul, and undeniable energy of one of the most influential bands of the 2000s.
