Happy Mondays are a British rock band from Manchester, formed in 1985, who became icons of the Madchester scene and rave culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Known for their energetic live performances, funk-influenced sound, and hit singles like "Step On" and "Kinky Afro," the band blended rock, dance, and psychedelic elements into a unique style. Their infectious beats and charismatic frontman Shaun Ryder helped define a generation of British youth culture before the group disbanded in 1991, later reuniting for occasional performances and tours.
