A multi-talented songwriter, musician, promoter and more who first rose to prominence as a founding member of acclaimed Glasgow indie-pop foursome Astrid, Clark has been a pro-active presence in the underground music scene for over two decades.

“A superb piece of jangle pop classicism, it seems to reference everyone from The Byrds and Big Star through to Teenage Fanclub” 
CLASH MAGAZINE

“His recordings are full of beautiful, haunted melodies and stripped down plaintive acoustic beauty.” 
JOHN ROBB, LOUDER THAN WAR

“Immense choruses and deep heartfelt lyrics that serve to tighten the throat and quicken the pulse. It is vital and organic music: guitar driven indie pop at its very best”
BACK SEAT MAFIA

“A hybrid of Damien Rice and The Decemberists, Clark explores themes of love and drink through dark metaphors. With Clark, the macabre is beautiful.” Marni Epstein_The Eastsider LA

“Five songs with a heart of gold.” Kevin Bronson_Buzz Bands LA

“The EP is one that the listener can tell comes straight from the heart. It’s lyrically smart, with five tracks that dance on the border of being pop songs but with no forced-catchy element, just swoon-worthy melodies.” Laura Gesualdi_In Your Speakers

A psychedelic rock 'n' roll band from Glasgow, Scotland.

"It was a day like any other and it was raining. I was in my car with two old friends. The radio played "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" by The Clash. An overtaking, that blind curve: the car crash. In those moments you don't think, you just don't think. The time expands, seconds become centuries, glasses become projectiles, trees become cement. Then you open your eyes and you understand that you are still alive. The car had literally flown, but the fate didn't want our lifes: we landed on a marquee, over a vineyard, in front of a cemetery. We were unharmed: alive. I came back home and I stopped there, in front of a mirror, to ask why. In a few months' time I recorded a demo of 11 songs, I signed a contract with the Seahorse Recordings / Red Birds Records and then I recorded "Coffee & Cigarette Club", my first album. I did all this only because I knew well that I could have died right there, at 15:30 or so, in a fucking car. I wanted to play music and then I decided to do it". 

Happy Skeleton is the pseudonym of Davide Delmonte. This alt-rock / grunge musical project starts in winter of 2009, after the breakup of the Delmonte's garage band My Chronic Dope, in which he was singer, rhythmic guitarist and composer. After the band breakup and after a car crash, Delmonte decides to keep playing and to go out on his own. Happy Skeleton is born.
