Of course, expect plenty of other New Wave, classic alternative, Bitpop, shoegaze and more, like Depeche Mode, New Order, the Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Chameleons, House of Love, Field Mice, the Pastels, the Vaselines, the Raincoats, Belle & Sebastian, the Housemartins, Primal Scream... well, you get the point!

Happy Endings starts at 10 p.m. at The Loving Touch on Friday, Jan. 26; 22634 Woodward Ave., Ferndale; thelovingtouchferndale.com; Cover is free before 11 p.m., $3 afterward.
