Happy Mondays and The Farm

Happy Mondays, from Salford, England, were pivotal to the 80s-90s Madchester scene, blending indie and acid house. Led by Shaun Ryder, they mixed funk, techno, and psychedelia. Known for albums like "Bummed" and "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches," their hits include "Kinky Afro" and "Step On." Ryder's surreal wordplay and their unique sound made them icons alongside The Stone Roses and Inspiral Carpets.
