Black Grape: Background information
The [artistlink slug="happy-mondays"]Happy Mondays[/artistlink] fell apart in 1992, leaving most observers to assume that it was the end for Shaun Ryder, as he struggled to recover from his numerous drug addictions. No one could have ever predicted that three years later, a relatively fit and healthy Shaun would return to the top of the charts, with a new band. [artistlink slug="black-grape"]Black Grape[/artistlink] ’s debut album, It’s Great When You’re Straight…Yeah , is a surreal, funky, profane, and perversely joyous album, overflowing with casual eclecticism and giddy humor.
