Question: What English alternative rock band formed in 1980 and influenced The Numbskulls?

 Formed in 1980, the band's original line-up was Shaun Ryder (vocals), his brother Paul Ryder (bass), Mark Day (guitar), Paul Davis (keyboard), and Gary Whelan (drums). Happy Mondays are an English alternative rock band from Salford, Greater Manchester.  Mark "Bez" Berry later joined the band onstage as a dancer/percussionist.  Rowetta joined the band as a guest vocalist in 1990. <SEP> The Numbskulls (aka HyperzombieNumbSkulls) were an influential acid house band from Boulder, Colorado in the early to mid-1980s.  They referred to their musical style as "danceable dirge".  The band was a four piece with band leader, Mike Harris Bacidore on keyboards, bass, and vocals, Mateo Juarez (Matthew Harris Sullivan) on lead guitar and vocals, Mike Tomich on guitars and vocals, and Scuz Roland (Don Adydan) on drums.  Influenced by the Madchester style of music of The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, as well as punk/new wave bands New Order and The Cure, the Numbskulls catalogue included whimsical lyrics juxtaposed against repetitive keyboards, trance-like drumming, melodic vocals and quirky punk guitar hooks.  The Numbskulls were founded by Bacidore and Sullivan in Longmont, Colorado in 1983.  The band often dressed up in leisure suits and rubber masks, reggae attire, or as hippies and played under a variety of inane monikers, most notably "Happy World Beat" — thus, only their most rabid fans were aware of their true identity.  They enjoyed playing techno punk jams, an antithetical punk style whereby their songs would often last fifteen minutes or more and were a spontaneous combination of funk, punk, reggae, jazz, techno, and new wave.  The Madchester style to which their music is often associated was not yet popular in the United States, and as fervent followers, the Numbskulls ushered the era of ecstasy laden rave culture of the late eighties in the Boulder and Denver area of Colorado.  The band released several underground albums including "HyperzombieNumbSkuLLs" (1983), "Rubberface" (1984), "Big Bowel Movement" (1985), "Get in the Groove" (1985), and "Red Light" (1986). <SEP> Asian Kung-Fu Generation (アジアン・カンフー・ジェネレーション , Ajian Kanfū Jenerēshon , stylized as ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION) is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in Yokohama, Japan, in 1996.  For nearly its entire career, the band has consisted of vocalist Masafumi Gotō, guitarist Kensuke Kita, bassist Takahiro Yamada, and drummer Kiyoshi Ijichi.  Starting out as a college band, Asian Kung-Fu Generation released a series of independent EPs featuring lyrics mostly sung in English.  In 2002, they released their major-label EP debut "Hōkai Amplifier", from that point singing their lyrics in Japanese.  The band's musical style is influenced by seminal Western alternative rock acts as well as their own local Japanese indie-rock and punk scene.  Their songs incorporate various aspects of the genres, most typically expressing fast tempos and prominent power chord guitar riffs in addition to rhythmic groove and emotional lyrics.  Despite the indie nature of their music, the band has enjoyed worldwide commercial success in addition to critical acclaim.  Asian Kung-Fu Generation has been cited as one of the best, most balanced modern rock bands to emerge from Japan in the 2000s. <SEP> The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979.  Initially a punk rock band, they are considered pioneers of alternative rock.  The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career.  Following several acclaimed albums, including "Let It Be" and "Tim", Bob Stinson left the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist.  Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990.  Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output.  The group disbanded in 1991, with the members eventually pursuing various projects.  A reunion was announced on October 3, 2012.  The Replacements never had significant commercial success, except for "I'll Be You", which hit number 1 on the "Billboard" Alt Rock chart, but they influenced numerous alternative rock acts.
