Happy Mondays for Dublin

Time to dust off those maracas and get down to the Olympia.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 30 Jan 2012

The reformed – well, sort of! – Happy Mondays have confirmed a May 15 visit to the Dublin Olympia.

It’s the first time the original line-up has performed together since 2000. The stumbling blocks had been Paul Ryder who’d vowed never to have anything to do with the band again and Rowetta Satchell who had a high-profile falling out with Shaun Ryder.

“We all met up last week and some of the lads haven't seen each other in 10, 15 years,” Shaun says. “It’s as if we’ve never been apart.”

Now bezzies again, they join the Stone Roses and Inspiral Carpets – can Northside be far behind? – in ensuring that it’ll be a Madchester-tastic summer.

Happy Mondays at The Olympia

There were too many moments on the night when the Mondays most closely resembled a dodgy Madchester tribute band.

Uncle Dysfunktional

Please, please, please ignore this album. Uncle Dysfunktional is a wretched experience. Ryder bellows his way through it all, banging on about drugs and low-life in a voice that can barely muster a tune.

Happy Mondays to play Dublin

Phil Udell may have given their Unkle Dysfunctional album a measly one out of ten in the last issue of Hot Press, but we reckon there’ll be plenty of takers when Happy Mondays play the Olympia.

Pills'n'Thrills and Bellyaches

Whereupon we find our Mancunian maniacs still keeping their Drugs Against Rock campaign in full swing. *I smell dope/I smell dope*, shouts Ryder (Shaun never sings - he either talks or shouts!) and you don't doubt him.
