The Monochrome Set

Featuring original Monochrome Set members Bid (Guitar/Vocals) and Andy Warren (bass), along with Dave Morgan (drums) and Athen Ayren (keyboards) The 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.Though The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings, their album release count now being well into double figures.
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 seven, new, critically acclaimed, studio albums, the most recent, "Allhallowtide' on the German ‘Tapete’ label last year.
2026 sees the 48th year since the band formed and they will be gigging worldwide to celebrate this.
