The legendary Happy Mondays rose to fame in the 80's within the Manchester rave scene, releasing classic albums such as Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches, including huge hits like Kinky Afro and Step On.

They have reformed and are back and receiving critical acclaim with their album Uncle Dysfunktion. This time, their comeback is partially down to Damon Albarn.

The success of Dare, the Gorillaz single with vocals by Mondays frontman and lyricist Shaun Ryder, put the band back in the studio.

Some may dismiss this as a money comeback but Uncle Dysfunktional marks the return of Shaun Ryder's psychedelic gangster lyricism, a totally unique voice that's been missed from the music landscape.

There recent comeback is a huge amount of fun and a reminder that it's great that the Happy Mondays have never completely disappeared, and can always re-ignite the nostalgia of the Madchester glory days.

For the legions of loyal followers of Shaun and co, it will definitely satisfy.

The Mondays' have never taken themselves or the music too seriously and now that they're older thankfully that hasn't changed. Wakestock are sure to love them!
