	Happy Mondays - Biography - AOL Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Along with the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays were the leaders of the late-'80s/early-'90s dance club-influenced Manchester scene, experiencing a brief moment in the spotlight before collapsing in 1992.
		Happy Mondays were one of the first rock bands to integrate hip-hop techniques into their music.
		For a band that celebrated their vulgarity and excessiveness, Happy Mondays appropriately were undone by their addictions, but they left behind a surprisingly influential legacy, apparent in everyone from dance bands like the Chemical Brothers to rock & rollers like Oasis.

		This is a story of Bez, the man with the maracas and Shaun Ryder's sidekick in the Happy Mondays.

		It recalls the story of Bez, frontman with the Happy Mondays, and the trials and tribulations of a manic party animal living right on the edge.

		The Happy Mondays were formed in Little Hulton, Salford, in 1984 by brothers Shaun (22) and Paul Ryder (20).
		Not happy with a Manchester band copying their music, The Beatles management threatened to sue Factory, so the album was withdrawn and re-released six months later with the single '24 Hour Party People' replacing it.

		And the Mondays' ranks included the one and only Bez (Mark Berry), an utterly deranged friend of the band whose sole role was to supply the spastic fantastic dancing that remains the scene's most enduring image.
		To call the Mondays one of the most significant and influential rock groups to emerge in England since the Smiths would not be an indulgence in hyperbole.
		The Mondays' carefully evolved sound — an odd, trancelike hybrid of '60s flower-power rock, cheesy '70s RandB and '80s acid house, accompanied by Ryder's straining, stream-of-unconsciousness words — became the blueprint for numerous local (later global) imitators.

	Happy Blue Mondays \| Film \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		I've been an awestruck lover of the Happy Mondays since their Hallelujah EP (featuring guest backing vocalists Rowetta and Kirsty MacColl) came out--but even though I realized 24 Hour Party People took its title from a song on the Mondays' John Cale-produced debut, I missed the film when it played at SIFF.
		Brothers Shaun and Paul Ryder of the Mondays took note of Chicago's house-beat movement almost the moment it began, then stole it and fused it with Brit-pop and Northern soul.
		In his book Generation Ecstasy, Simon Reynolds called the Mondays the U.K.'s answer to the Butthole Surfers, but more accurately pointed out that they were generally considered the first band since the Sex Pistols to match their predecessors' aura of working-class hooliganism.

		Recorded in L.A. with Oakenfold and Osbourne, Happy Mondays' triumphant third album is rivalled in the indie-dance era only by Stone Roses' debut.

		Unfortunately for them, Shaun had become addicted to heroin so the decision was made to send the band to The Bahamas, where he wouldn't be able to buy any.
		Danny Cunnigham was brilliant playing Shaun Ryder and Paul Ryder even had a cameo, playing a gangster which many have compared to Salford gang lord, Paul Massey.
		Following a brief side project with 'Amateur Night In The Big Top', where he provided (pretty random) vocals, Shaun reformed The Mondays (or Bez, Gary Whelan and himself to be precise) for some appearances in 2004, including a critically acclaimed gig in Barcelona which was later released on DVD and CD (called 'Step On').
