The band announced in September 2012 that they were writing their first album with the original lineup in more than 20 years. [ citation needed] Nevertheless, the brothers were together again when the original line-up reformed in 2012. Just 10 years later, Ryder died shortly before he was due to go on stage with them.

In 1980, on leaving school, Ryder worked for the Royal Mail and teamed up with his brother – who had already spent time in youth custody for a theft offence – to form a band with Whelan and Day. Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) was released on CD in 1990, and was reissued in 2000 by London Recordings. [32] [93] It was part of Rhino Records' Original Album Series box set in 2013, which collected the band's first four studio albums. [94] The album was reissued on vinyl in 2020. [33] "Tart Tart" and "24 Hour Party People" were reissued on vinyl in 2019 as part of the band's The Early EPs compilation. [95] After Paul Ryder's death in July 2022, Whelan's brother Jase suggested that "Tart Tart" could be reissued to honour him. [96] On 28 July 2022, "Tart Tart" was released as a single with the album version, a BBC version and a live version as its B-sides. [97] Its profits were donated to MusiCares, an organization which helps people in the music industry who are dealing with addiction. [98]Happy Mondays performed before another re-formed act, Rage Against the Machine, at the 2007 Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California. They were introduced by Tony Wilson. Bez missed the show because he could not get into the US due to "passport issues". [23] The band then toured throughout the summer of 2007 including a trip to the Numusic Festival in Norway. They played Splendour in the Grass in Australia in July 2009, and the UK V Festival in August 2009. Factory set Happy Mondays up in a Belsize Park house, with the band living in one room and electricians and builders living in the other rooms. [33] [34] Day was the only band member with a full-time job by this point, and could afford food; the others resorted to theft. [35] The first two days consisted of playing songs for Cale, who was impressed with Day's skills. [31] After the first week, they scrapped their efforts and began again. [36] Young was bewildered by the band's performances, saying that its members did not seem to know what they were playing much of the time. [37] Cale found it difficult to work with Ryder; [ which?] he liked his voice, but was unable to follow the lyrics. Ryder wrote them on pieces of scrap paper before discarding them, leaving Cale unable to see if they could be improved. Many of his vocals included ad-libs (making it difficult to re-do a specific line), and Ryder said that he had forgotten what he sang moments before. [38] It all unfolds with a sort of inspired madness. The very first scene shows the charismatic, arrogant, and somewhat self-important Tony Wilson hang-gliding for a television report, then turning to the camera after that's over with and saying "You're going to see a lot more of that sort of thing in the film. I don't want to say too much, don't want to spoil it. I'll just say one word: 'Icarus'. If you get it, great. If you don't, that's fine too. But you should probably read more." It's not only a terrific line, indicative of the sort of dry wit much of the dialogue achieves, but also telling of what the film is going to be like. J.R. Jones of the Chicago Reader was one of the less infatuated major critics with the film (but still gave it a definitely positive review, which should give you some indication of just how well-received this film was by critics), and labeled Coogan's Wilson a a pedantic narrator, describing his story as having little narrative momentum of its own. I like to think that's sort of the point, and Wilson himself makes a point to mention in the film that it's not a film about him. It would be unfair to dismiss "24 Hour Party People" as a biographical look at Tony Wilson. It's so much more. It's a celebration of music, of a lifestyle, of a bygone era. It also plays like a Greek tragedy, albeit substantially more fun, but there is no shortage of darkness and tragedy in the film. The shifts in tone are particularly remarkable, as the film veers from its usual dry, sardonic tone into real pathos and examination of the dark side of almost any phenomenal success. a b c Smith, Evan (1 December 2013).
