About this concert
Shenanigans Music are delighted to announce the return of legendary band The Monochrome Set to Stourbridge.
Here's a brief history for anyone new to the band (thanks Jane).
'The band feature original Monochrome Set members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with Athen Ayren on keyboards and Stephen Gilchrist on drums.
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. 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. Now in their 46th year, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting their latest album and playing songs old and new.'
At the special request of TMS, local band Flying Ant Day will be playing the support slot.
We have 20 early bird tickets available for this gig priced at £12.50 (+ £1.30 booking fee). After these have sold, the standard price will be £15.00 (+ £1.50 booking fee). Any remaining tickets will be £18.00 on the door.
