Armed with their seminal record Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches, Manchester alt-rock icons Happy Mondays are set to tour Australia in 2019.
Since first cutting their teeth in the ’80s with their albums Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile and Bummed, Happy Mondays truly made their mark with 1990’s Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches, which spawned hit singles ‘Step On’ and ‘Kinky Afro’ and ultimately went platinum.
Australian fans lucked out on seeing them in 2013 after “medical issues with [drummer] Gary Whelan” forced the outfit to cancel their Australian run all together.
Happy Mondays were praised for their ingenuity and boisterousness, bridging the UK rave scene with independent rock music. Their music is vibrant and caters for a fervent dancefloor — Australia, it’s your time to party.
