SUMMARY:The Monochrome Set - Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:The Monochrome Set are delighted to return to Birmingham for the first time since 2013… The band features original Monochrome Set members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with Athen Ayren on keyboards and Stephen Gilchrist on drums. \nThe Monochrome Set formed in 1978\, and were heavily influential in the post-punk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that labels’ well known “Pillows and Prayers” compilation. \nThough The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings. After a hiatus of over a decade the band reformed full time in 2010 and have since toured all over the UK\, Europe\, Japan and the USA\, whilst also releasing eight\, new\, critically acclaimed\, studio albums. \nNow in their 48th year\, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting their new album and playing songs from throughout that time. \n+ Yeah Yeah Noh\n“My favourite mix of sneery post-punk and swooshy psychedelia” – Stewart Lee\nYeah Yeah Noh are an unpop group formed in Leicester in 1984. Creators of gold-dust LPs and 45s\, classic John Peel sessions and more recent Marc Riley session showstoppers. Originators of an entire Mojo genre: ‘calor-gas psychedelia’. And stars of every Cherry Red comp released this millennium. Currently rewriting history with the recording of a new LP – Disorientation – this one-off gig in the present day is your latest best chance to get a glimpse into the future.\nNo need to worry if you were at the Castle & Falcon in March last year\, and don’t fancy seeing a retread of the same blisteringly great oldies set played with The Loft. Since then the band has seen big line-up changes\, including the addition of one-time Nightingale Andy Lloyd. He can play guitar just like a-ringin’ a bell – except with tons of effects pedals\, and 27 times louder. One review of the new band’s debut at Preston Popfest was as short as it was sweet: “Amazing.” \n+ The Leaking Machine\nThe Leaking Machine have good indie DNA. Pete and Russell both play with Mighty Mighty (John Peel faves\, C86) and Spence is the mastermind behind The Winnebago Orchestra as well as playing with Stella Martyr and Ex Catalogue. The band’s latest album\, Sound On Sound has been described as “a triumph of English power pop” by Outside Left and “Heaving with jangly intent” by Janglepophub. Enjoy.
