BLAB HAPPY
Mad Surge EP
1991 F-Beat
British indie band from Leicester comprising Mick McCarthy, Jon Dennis, Tony Owen and Jeremy Clay. After two EPs released on their own Wisdom label won airplay on John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 show, and enthusiastic reviews in New Musical Express, Sounds and Melody Maker, they were signed by Demon Records offshoot F-Beat, for whom they released two albums, 1991’s Boat and 1993’s Smothered. The NME’s Gina Morris, wrote of the band: “Blab Happy are a cheerful Leicester four piece, smirking between That Petrol Emotion, Blur, and The Beatles”.
Blab Happy toured in their own right and as support to bands such as Radiohead, Kingmaker, Squeeze. The band split up in 1993, with singer Mick McCarthy and bassist Tony Owen forming Perfume.
