You're twistin' my melon, man! There's no shortage of crazy stories when it comes to the Happy Mondays. They are one of the biggest Manchester bands. Their trippy rave dance music was exploding onto the Hacienda dance floor, and they made a big splash around the world. The Mondays are singer Shaun Ryder, bassist Paul Ryder, guitarist Mark Day, dancer Bez, drummer Gary Whelan, backup singer Rowetta, and keyboardist Paul Davis. Their hit songs defined a generation, and the drugs were aplenty. Join me as we dive into the wild antics of the Happy Mondays, how they bankrupted Factory Records, and where they are now.
