@ Baba Sonics 7-year anniversary on wednesday

HAPPYMANDAY STARTED MONDAY 14TH OF JULY 1997 AS HAPPYMONDAYS (which had to be changed due to legal actions) BY DJ DAKE & HIS FRIEND MARTIN "moo!" KUMLIN AT A VENUE CALLED TUBEN, STOCKHOLM. THE CLUB WAS A BIG SALUTE TO THE OLD GROOVY MADCHESTER SCENE ASWELL AS NEWER BRITPOP AND MUSIC WAS MIXED IN SUCH AS THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS, SHED7, GENE, ELCKA, FATBOY SLIM, MARION, ELECTRONIC ETC
THE CLUBS POPULARIUTY REACHED HIGHER AND HIGHER LIMITS AND THEY DECIDED TO MOVE TO A LARGER VENUE. IN JANUARY 1998 THE CLUB APPEARED AT DANTE. IN THE VERY HEART OF THE CITY AND ABOUT 600 KIDS WERE RAVING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY. BY THE END OF THE SEASON THE CLUB WAS DOING WARM-UP SESSIONS AT SJÖGRÄS BAR EVERY THURSDAY. IN JUNE WE WERE LISTED AS ONE OF THE BEST CLUBS IN EUROPE IN THE BRITISH MAGAZINE THE FACE.
AFTER A SLIGHT SUMMERBREAK THE CLUB WAS BACK ONCE AGAIN ON MONDAYS FOR A FEW DATES BUT AS DJ DAKE LIVED PART TIME IN MALMOE IN THE SOUTH OF SWEDEN IT WAS HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THINGS AND AFTER SOME DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE NEW VENUE-MANAGER, HAPPYMANDAY WAS HISTORY FOR NOW.
IN 1999 HAPPYMANDAY MOVED AWAY A FEW BLOCKS AND OPENED IT..S DOORS AT HOLGER BAR WERE THE CLUB REMAINED TIL 2001.
AFTER 2001 THE CLUB MOSTLY EXISTED AS GUESTS AT OTHER CLUBS AND WERE REPRESNTED ASWELL AT DUMPS IN OLD TOWN AS AT FANCY STURECOMPAGNIET AS AT STUDENT NATIONS IN UPPSALA ETC
IN 2003 DAKE STARTED HAPPY MONDAYS (LATER BAGGY TUESDAYS) AT METRÓ NEARBY SKANSTULL AS ONE OF THE FIRST EVER HAPPENINGS AT THIS POSHER VENUE.
AND IN 2004 HAPPYMANDAY WERE BACK AS A REAL CLUB, SHARING ROOMS WITH THE-FARM STHLM @ KGB BAR.
IN 2005 AND 2006 THE CLUB WAS UP EVERY MONTH AT OVEMEDSKÄGGET, BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ONLY CLUB THAT WERE ATTRRACTING ENOUGH PEOPLE AND BARSALES AT OVEMEDSKÄGGET WAS HAPPYMANDAY, THE VENUE WAS SHUT DOWN AFTER THE OWNERS HAD A MAJOR DISAGREEMENT.
SO 2007 WE ARE BACK FOR OUR TENTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS. STARTED OFF APRIL 30 WITH A OVERCROWDED PARTY AT KGB BAR. AND FROM JULY THE 12TH YOU CAN COME SEE US EVERY THURSDAY AT KGB.
CHECK US OUT FOR THE PUREST INDIE-NIGHTS IN STOCKHOLM... AND COME SEE DJ DAKE @ LAID, ST:MORITZ, WARDOUR STR, LONDON 8TH OF JUNE...
