Alternative stone quartette Die Happy formed in Ulm, Germany, in 1993. Guitarist Thorsten Mewes, bassist Julian Rosenthal, and drummer Marcus Heinzmann auditioned a series of singers before in conclusion subsiding on Czech-born Marta Jandová. The grouping played its get-go live gig in the natural spring of 1994, at mid-year recording the EP Better Than Nothing. A self-released uncut, Dirty Flowers, followed in early 1996. Drummer Holger Fiesel replaced Heinzmann prior to roger Huntington Sessions for the 1997 EP Promotion. During an appearance at the 1998 Rockstiftung unsigned dance orchestra contest, Die Happy captured the attention of A&R execs from Epic/Sony, only narrow negotiations fell through and Fiesel shortly announced his way out, clearing the means for drummer Jürgen Stiehle. Rosenthal was the next to resign, and later a series of auditions, the leftover triple selected bassist Ralph Rieker. In late 1999, this personification of Die Happy signed to BMG Ariola, and in 2001 issued their major-label debut, Supersonic Speed. Beautiful Morning followed a twelvemonth by and by, and in 2003 Die Happy traveled to Los Angeles to lead off sour with hitmaking producers The Matrix on the band's third RCA endeavour, The Weight of the Circumstances. Virtual unknown Udo Rinklin helmed the 2005 followup, Bitter to Better, although multi-platinum shlockmeister Diane Warren penned the lay "I Am." No Nuts No Glory reached the German Top 30 upon its 2006 dismission.
