User Reviews:
jimi_renaissance, Oct 29, 2008

The Happy Mondays are an Indie band from Salford, greater Manchester. Their music is a pastiche of Disco and psychadelic rock. This is evident in their classics such as Tart Tart, Fat Lady Wrestlers, Kinky Afro and Sunshine and Love. And Shaun is the greatest poet sinse Yeats. Despite their obvious influences, they were trend setters, they werent followers and no other band sounded like them, Ryders lyrics make little sense if any to his audience but they fit brilliantly with Paul Ryders funky basslines and Mark Days wacka-wah guitar. Their music grabs you and says we know were cool and we dont give a monkeys toss what you think.
