Opis

'The best way I can describe them, so you know what you're letting yourself in for, is scum. They are fucking scum. They have also changed the course of British music forever and Shaun Ryder is the greatest lyricist of his generation' Factory Records' founder Tony Wilson 'We were no-hopers ...with a bit of hope, doing it 'cos it meant something' Bez 'They reminded me of The Beatles in our "Strawberry Fields" phase' Paul McCartney 'Happy Mondays are the best group in Manchester' Ian Brown There had never been anything like the Happy Mondays before, and never will be again. They rank alongside The Velvet Underground and Sex Pistols as cultural lightening rods, were dubbed 'Manchester's Funkadelic' and promised to be the rave era's Rolling Stones. Heralds of a more hedonistic time, the stories of their excesses are the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend: the overdoses, the orgies, the death threats, the gangsters, the stabbings and shootings in the studio. Yet this seemingly unhinged and uncontrollable band - encouraged by their equally crazed benefactors at Factory Records - transformed British guitar music, leaving behind five infectious albums of unparalleled dirt and delight. Twenty-five years after their breakthrough appearance on Top of the Pops, in November 1989, Excess All Areas explores how the Happy Mondays came to provide the soundtrack to Britain's last great youth movement. Based on extensive interviews with the band and key associates, it reveals the truth behind the mythic stories that have ensured their outlaw reputation, and unravels the chaos that led to the group's ultimate implosion and the tragic collapse of Factory Records. A riotous mix of pills, thrills and joyous chart hits, this is the untold story of Britain's greatest rock 'n' roll gang.
