Blab Happy were a British indie band from Leicester formed in 1987,〔Gregory, Andy (2002) ''International Who's Who in Popular Music 2002'', Europa, ISBN 1-85743-161-8, p. 133〕 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 2 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".〔Morris, Gina (1991) Blab Happy article, ''NME'', June 1991〕 Blab Happy toured in their own right and as support to bands such as Radiohead,〔 Kingmaker,〔 and Squeeze. The band split up in 1993, with singer Mick McCarthy and bassist Tony Owen forming Perfume, who enjoyed the patronage of BBC Radio 1 DJs Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley, having a minor hit in 1996 with "Haven't Seen You".〔Strong, Martin C.: "The Great Indie Discography", 1999, Canongate, ISBN 0-86241-913-1〕 Jon Dennis meanwhile formed Slinky,〔 who also won airplay from Lamacq and Whiley with two singles produced by John Robb and were finalists in the 1995 In The City contest.
Dennis and Clay both went on to work as journalists - Dennis writing and presenting podcasts for ''The Guardian'',〔(Radio days | | Guardian Unlimited Arts )〕 and Clay for the ''Leicester Mercury''. Clay has also written books, including "Blokes With Balls" and "The Burglar Caught By A Skeleton" Dennis currently records as part of Loaded Knife, whose 2 singles have won support from Rob Da Bank and Lamacq, and the late John Peel.
