Happy Mondays en vivo Viernes 25 de mayo Teatro Caupolicán Fotos de Rodrigo Ferrari Las Saturnales eran un festival romano heredado de las Kronias griegas. Según el relato de Macrobio, todos lucían, en las Saturnales, el gorrito que los identificaba como esclavos liberados. Eran fiestas de exceso y anarquía: los siervos eran atendidos por los patricios, la gente corría enmascarada por las calles, las borracheras públicas eran incentivadas, aunque no al nivel orgiástico de las Dionisíacas. Juan Eduardo Cirlot, en su diccionario de símbolos, argumenta que las Saturnales son un [...]
Next week this band launch their careers. Although, rather strangely, this is a band that some of you will already know. It is perhaps a sign of the times, in an Internet age, where people can see a band perform live, discuss their music on their blogs, radio can pick up on them and begin playing them, hell this band even self-produced and self-released a full EP and handed it out online for free last August. So when we say 'launch', what we really mean is this time they're doing it officially. If the traction they picked up with their [...]
The secret to rock & roll success? Great songs, a kick-ass frontman (or frontwoman) who serves up flesh for fantasy while moving like Jagger, a whole lotta love (and luck), and an unforgettable moniker that will still sound cool 20 years later. When it comes to the latter, they don't make them like they did circa 1990 to 1995. My favorite bands from that great era of Madchester, Britpop and dream pop -- the latter being wall-of-sound productions featuring a wash of layered guitars and gauzy vocals weaving in and out and around the melodious cacophony -- had [...]
In case you hadn't heard, I recently completely the epic-length Lost Turntable Guide to Recording Vinyl . You should totally read it. It's almost 5,000 words though, so maybe you might want to pee first. Happy Mondays Bob's Yer Uncle (The Grid Mix) Bob's Yer Uncle (Paul Oakenfold Mix) These remixes are from a 123 promo copy I snagged last week, they're chill as shit. This song is my new jam. The Human League [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive flickr When you're listening to your iTunes on shuffle and it kicks out Interpol , the Bravery or She Wants Revenge , you probably have a hard time distinguishing between them, right? We don't mean to beat a 2006-era joke into the ground, but they all do sound kinda the same. Which is quite unlike their spiritual fathers, '70s British post-punkers Joy Division . [...]
The Happy Mondays played two Dublin shows as part of their Reunion Tour.
Estamos imparables con las confirmaciones de bandas para Latinoamérica y ahora ha llegado el turno para la gente de Argentina, quienes el próximo 24 de mayo verán llegar una nueva edición del Moviestar Free Music , una serie de conciertos organizados por la compañía telefónica del mismo nombre, que en esta ocasión ofrecerá tres bandas inglesas de insuperable manufactura. La primera de ellas será los Happy Mondays , una de las agrupaciones más reconocidas de la movida rock ochentera que ha pasado por numerosos cambios y [...]
Después de algunos rumores, finalmente se ha confirmado la próxima edición del Movistar Free Music . El festival que nos ha traído en el pasado a bandas como Jane's Addiction e Interpol se renueva con un line-up de lujo con la presencia de Happy Mondays como plato fuerte, acompañdo de Wild Beasts y We Have Band . El show tendrá lugar el próximo 24 de mayo en el Anfiteatro [...]
Ya está confirmado. Hace algunas semanas, el twitter oficial de los Happy Mondays aseguraba que la banda visitaría sudamérica y que ya tenían fechas confirmas para Chile y Argentina. Rápidamente la noticia se esparció, pero ni a los propios Happy Mondays se les podía creer, ustedes saben. Pero la noticia ya está confirmada. DG Medios es la encargada de traer a los manchesterianos, íconos de lo más granado del movimiento jangle y también de la decadencia de la fiesta interminable en la que se transformó Manchester a fines de los '80 y principios de los '90. [...]
We dip our toes in the canal waters of Manchester for todays classic. It's an indie/electronic cross over from the seminal late 80s band the Happy Mondays . With the backing of Factory Records they used their contacts within the dance music scene in 1989 to get DJ's onto remix duties. As well as Andy Weatherall for the Hallelujah Club Mix they also got Paul Oakenfold and Terry Farley to work some magic.
Hace unas semanas nos frotábamos los ojos leyendo una serie de tweets desde la cuenta oficial de los Happy Mondays , la banda de Manchester que fusionó a la perfección la fiesta, el desorden, el rock y el acid house. En ellos, aseguraban que estaban muy felices por tocar en Chile, país que no conocían todavía, y Argentina. Sonaba lindo, aunque la verdad es que es bien difícil creerle a Shaun Ryder después de tanta jarana. Pasó el tiempo y ninguna productora local se atribuía la información. Eso hasta que nuestros amigos de POTQ subieron [...]

Guardian : Happy Mondays getting together for reunion tour. Tony Wilson still infinitely missed. Billboard : Lana Del Rey proves that all press can actually be good press with anticipated #2 album debut. LA Times : Soul Train creator Don Cornelius found dead in apparent suicide. PMA : Princeton is back with some new jams. Looking all mature and such. Hypebot : Spanish Prisoners using Kickstarter [...]
I've been thinking of putting together a guide of some sorts showing how I record vinyl, would that be something any of you might be interested in? I'm trying to figure out what to focus on. Should I talk about hardware, like what cartridge and turntable to get, or is that bit kind of played out? I feel like people with far more technical know-how than I have covered that topic to death. What about something about how to get the most out of the vinyl you got; a guide to recording beat-up and worn down records? Would anyone [...]
Como anticipamos hace un par de semanas, la reunión de los Happy Mondays ya es un hecho: la banda confirmó que realizará una pequeña gira durante el mes de mayo, en la cual visitaran las ciudades inglesas de Manchester, Londres, Newcastle y Birmingham, entre otras. Aunque la banda de Salford se había reformado en el pasado, esta será la primera vez que lo hará con su formación original, algo que no sucedía desde 1992. En diálogo con BBC , [...]
