The Monday's Return
Wednesday, March 28, 2007
This is something I wasn't expecting and adds to the great year 2007 is shaping up to be. Wow, new Happy Mondays that is really cool. I do miss Black Grape tho, I thought they had a good thing going there. The Mondays are playing Coachella and don't have any shows back in the UK for almost a month. Does that mean the band may stay stateside and play some shows? We can only hope. Will they play Detroit? Yeah thats a funny one, that would be the day...

Fans of Factory Records, sunshine party-pop, and drugs have considerable cause for celebration as yesterday, Monday, March 26, Happy Mondays revealed their intentions to return to the dangerous world of releasing full-length albums.
According to NME.com, their as-yet-untitled LP-- which technically follows up 1992's regrettable ...Yes Please-- will be heralded by a new single in June. As Happy frontman Shaun Ryder told the British weekly, "I'm not the world's best salesman, me...I'm not a salesman at all. I think it's a really great album."
The Mondays-- who reunited in present form back in 2004 and contributed new single "Playground Superstar" to the 2005 Goal! film soundtrack-- tapped Howie B and Sonny Levine to produce their comeback album, which will bear the stamp of new Happy Mondays home Sanctuary Records.
