Fuelled by a rising DJ culture and the arrival of ecstasy, U.K. indie bands started to get funky in the ‘80s. With much of the madness centered in Manchester, groups like the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays fell under the spell of techno and ‘70s funk. Across the nation, shoegazers My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain added dance-friendly rhythms to their guitar-heavy rock.
