FREE LIVE MUSIC VIBES AT MONO... On Friday...Nekkuro Hána blossomed into existence in 2017 and released their first single, the sexy smooth opus “Lizardman" in March 2018. The 7min long track plays out like a suite - in it we hear lounge psychedelia, beat poetry, 80’s Glasgow blue eyed soul, kraut rock and jazzy time signatures - or in their own words, ’feel good' music - Always guided by the čukuču. The young band are a melting pot of local inspiration and exotic influence and already have many more projects due to be released soon. Physical and the spiritual offerings are accepted at their performances, which are pleasurable for the mind, body and soul. @nekkurohana https://nekkurohana.bandcamp.com/On Saturday...The Kidney Flowers are a primitive DIY garage/punk 3 piece from Glasgow, originally inspired by the early beat groups of the 1960's. Some say they sound like The Gun Club, with their stripped-backthumping drums, infectious driving bass and abrasive guitar, they have become an integral part of the Scottish underground music scene. Over the last couple of years they have supported the likes of Here Lies Man, Bob Log III, Mark Sultan, The Gories, The Filthy Tongues and The Schizophonics, to name but a few. Other influences include Joy Division, The Fall, The Velvet Underground, The Stooges and The Monks. Their ferocious debut album came out in June. @thekidneyflowers https://thekidneyflowers.bandcamp.com/Late Nights at Mono Kitchen open till 10pm Live music from 10pm Free Entry 💷Good Times Good People ️
Tonight! In this new collaboration between Mono and Funnel Live we bring you a mid-monthly, midweek live gig featuring a special headlining local artist alongside a Funnel Music touring act and a local newcomer fresh to us. Keep the 3rd Wednesday of every month free and watch this space for some really great nights of live music. First up it's... RICHARD YOUNGS:Long-running UK experimental musician Richard Youngs is a British musician with a prolific and diverse output, including many collaborations. Richard runs No Fans Records, having previously run Jabberwok Records & Cassettes. Richard has graced our stage a number of times over our 16 years, most recently with the cosmic disco hedonists AMOR. We're honoured to host this headline show for one of Glasgow's most notable musicians.MICHAEL CLARK:London based singer songwriter Michael Clark's mesmerically haunting songs recall the simplicity of Elliot Smith, Pink Moon era Nick Drake and even elements of his father, Gavin Clark’sY (Clayhill, Sunhouse) work. With a deftness of touch his beautiful, transcendent folk is a pure joy to witness. HEIR OF THE CURSED:Raw and utterly transfixing Beldina Odenyo Onassis AKA Heir of The Cursed's music journeys through her Kenyan roots to her Scottish residency. Her stark and intricate guitar work is celestial and her soulful and dreamy vocals tell stories of openness and honesty which have the unique ability to make a room stand still.Tickets are available on the door from 8pm

Free music Friday & Saturday at Mono!!! First up tonight... @chuchotermusic Emerging from Edinburgh’s underground, electronic duo Chuchoterblend gripping pop vocal melodies with precise, striking synthesis.Inspired by a mix of modern pop and disco, their deep-soul vocals,strong, self-assured lyrics and dirty production create a fresh soundwith a club focus. On Saturday... You'd be forgiven for assuming that Big Hogg have been sleepy piglets of late, but that's not the case! After playing a few low key gigs at the beginning of the year, they've been working hard on material for their 3rd long player and 2nd on London's Bad Elephant Music, following 2017's critically acclaimed Gargoyles album. The band have extended their repertoire to include more heavily jazz influenced music and have been grooving out on post punk inspired jams. Add this to their pastoral prog and Beefheart / Dr John styles and you're stirring a heady brew my friend. Expect new tunes and new faces(!) from Glasgow's own branch of the Canterbury scene.Late Nights at Mono Kitchen open till 10pm Live music from 10pm Free Entry 💷Good Times Good People ️
