Recorded at Edwyn Collin’s legendary Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands, the album marks a bold new chapter for the band, produced with the invaluable guidance of Teenage Fanclub’s Gerard Love. A line-up change at the end of 2024 proved to be a galvanising moment for The Hanging Stars. “We needed to rethink things,” says guitarist Patrick Ralla. “A new leaner approach – bass, drums, guitars, four-part harmonies. Certainly worked for The Byrds, Big Star and Teenage Fanclub.” The result is a wonderfully energising record full of catchy hooks and a renewed vision. The songs are designed to take the listener away from it all… even if it's just for a little while. Central to the record’s new direction was the involvement of Gerard Love – one third of Teenage Fanclub’s celebrated songwriting trio and the artist behind Lightships. Starting from demos exchanged between Glasgow and London, Love helped the band strip things back to their essence, ever so gently guiding them toward their finest work to date. He also joined the band for a week of recording, contributing vocals, arrangement ideas and by all accounts a mean vegan curry. Just A Day is The Hanging Stars’ third album to be recorded at Clashnarrow Studios, Helmsdale located in the most idyllic setting imaginable, thirty minutes south of John O’Groats and overlooking the Moray Firth. The studio, owned and run by Edwyn Collins and Grace Maxwell, is a place the band describe with reverence: “a sort of mixture between Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and the BBC’s Repair Shop”. The band recorded the core of the album in a single week in February 2025, using Edwyn’s vintage gear – including the Gretsch Blackhawk he used in his Orange Juice days and the Barnes and & Mullins fuzz box heard on a “A Girl Like You”. The Hanging Stars’ connection with Edwyn Collins extends beyond just using his studio, Patrick plays guitar in Edwyn’s band and they were invited to support Collin’s momentous 2025 Testimonial Tour – A Last Lap Around The UK with dates including The Royal Festival Hall in London and the Theatre Royal in Glasgow. The new album was produced and engineered by longtime collaborator Sean Read, with overdubs and mixing completed at Read’s Famous Times Studios over the spring of 2025, and additional recording at bassist Paul Milne’s Seagull Studios in East London. Drummer Paulie Cobra anchors the record with his defining beat, lending his voice to the soaring four-part harmonies. A core figure in the band’s story, Cobra has embarked on a prolonged sabbatical, making way for their new live drummer Charlie Salvidge (TOY, Proper Ornaments, Great Silkie) who will join the band on the road. Frontman and songwriter Richard Olson reaches a creative high point with Just A Day, which opens in a surge of optimism with “All Your Yesterdays”, to “The Glasshouse”’s twelve-string-jangle-meets-New-York-circa-1976 meditation on wealth and class, to “Let It Slide” a feel-good track with a sting in its tail, to the country gospel drone of “Big Red Car” and meditative title track “Just A Day” laments for the day just gone. There are additional compositions from Patrick Ralla (“Keep On Making Me Wait”) and the first inclusion for bassist Paul Milne who wrote the party track “Show Me The Way”. Their sound evokes classic sounds from the past with an ear towards the future, from The Byrds via Big Star, to The Feelies, Spiritualized, Teenage Fanclub and Tom Petty. Or think Lou Reed and the Velvets jamming with Gorkys Zygotic Mynci. The result is an album that feels simultaneously classic and vibrant, their influences worn lightly giving the songs room to breathe. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/brown-horse monthly 0.5 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1774345144630-4ILAPA04HUDK89J84ZKI/261029+-+Brown+Horse+-+Crop.jpg Events - Brown Horse - 432 presents… 432 presents… https://www.monocafebar.com/events/elio-mei monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1773741077911-R3IARS5LYTB8CEHCPTUT/EM-GLA-4x5.png Events - Elio Mei - PCL presents… With vivid storytelling, poetic wordplay, genre-defying productions, and a beautifully unique voice, Elio Mei has quickly become known for their innovative indie-folk twist on the alternative pop genre. Having already released his debut album, 3 EPs, and countless singles in just over three years - all of which written and recorded from their bedroom in Arizona - the 23-year-old singer-songwriter is building a fun, comforting, and magically whimsical world, relatable enough for anyone to immerse themselves within. Following much anticipation, Elio Mei has now pulled back the curtain on their anxiously awaited new album, A Thousand Songs About It All: Act I (released September 12, 2025 via Mercury Records). Taking a myriad of twists and turns throughout its twelve tracks, A Thousand Songs About It All: Act I opens up a gateway into Elio Mei’s world, seeing them unflinchingly process anxiety, alienation, identity, gender dysphoria, and loneliness by projecting such emotions in widescreen across a galaxy-sized sonic palette where creative boundaries are effectively irrelevant and feeling reigns supreme. 14+, anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult https://www.monocafebar.com/events/rsd2026 monthly 0.5 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/747d050c-e6af-4ceb-8331-331862428d4e/Record+Store+Day+26.png Events - RECORD STORE DAY 2026 - Make it stand out monorail music and Mono present… https://www.monocafebar.com/events/the-twilight-sad-listening-party monthly 0.5 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1773062908849-XFBMBZU5IL4O0PYKME00/tts+artwork-440x440.jpg Events - The Twilight Sad - listening party - Make it stand out It's The Long Goodbye - Release Party https://www.monocafebar.com/events/ulrika-spacek monthly 0.5 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1771854220830-2L67SFPJOFNVLQXASZY9/261013+-+Ulrika+Spacek+-+Crop.jpg Events - ULRIKA SPACEK - 432 PRESENTS… 18+ If all the world is a stage, then our performance is a lonely one. Reflected not through eyes but through screens ad infinitum, our audience – real or imagined – is no longer a burden but a need. Attention, recognition, validation: we trade our interior worlds for the thrill of public display. In a hyper-individual world, Ulrika Spacek’s fourth album *EXPO *offers an antidote. Even as its five members have been pulled by tides of their own, Ulrika Spacek has always been a symbol of collective art. Despite a range of day jobs (experimental physicists, graphic designers, music producers) the collective pursuit is there in the shared dream logic of the music: the off-kilter melodies, jagged guitars and cirrus cloud atmospherics. It’s there, in all the things that are said and unsaid between them; there in the writing, producing and mixing processes they share in. And even as each of their parts moves toward a unified vision, it’s never more keenly felt than in the bigger picture to which Ulrika Spacek belong. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/mitski-tansy-house-listening-event monthly 0.5 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1771261706723-I9D636GECCRQZYZWZMZ7/unnamed.png Events - MITSKI - "TANSY HOUSE LISTENING EVENT" - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/spy monthly 0.5 2026-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1770979084464-BMWNBIAAEM6X96NBMAI3/260906+-+Core.+Presents_+SPY+x+Spaced+x+Dry+Socket+-+Crop.jpg Events - SPY x Spaced x Dry Socket - CORE.

Rather, it’s the beginning of an important dialogue with a close loved one vocalist Julia Steiner finds herself estranged from. The music on the band’s sixth studio album – its first for New West Records – fills the space that person left behind with 11 songs showcasing Ratboys at the peak of their powers — twangy, effervescent, as confident as they’ve ever been, and perhaps more emotionally interrogative than ever before. The four-piece Chicago band followed up 2023’s highly acclaimed The Window by reconvening with co-producer Chris Walla to begin tracking at a rural Wisconsin cabin before taking the songs to Steve Albini’s famed Electrical Audio studios in Chicago and later to Rosebud Studio in Evanston, Illinois. The results veer from bubbly power-pop on “Anywhere” to irresistible post-country on “Penny in the Lake,” along with heart-piercing ballads like “Just Want You to Know the Truth” and an exhilarating detour into the extraterrestrial on “Light Night Mountains All That,” which Steiner dubs the band’s mammoth “wormhole jam.” Singin’ to an Empty Chair also marks the first Ratboys album written since Steiner began therapy, which the singer/lyricist credits for the clarity found across the album’s unflinching examinations of relationship and self. Fittingly, as the album begins by extending a hand into the void, it concludes with a scene of serenity – all while weaving candid honesty, humor, chaos, and whimsy along the way. “It's not all doom and gloom,” Steiner says. “The experience of making this record definitely gives me hope for whatever happens next.” https://www.monocafebar.com/events/fucked-up monthly 0.5 2026-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1769594914940-DE8WPWOPH8FLRUY27CIR/260329+-+Core.+Presents_+Fucked+Up+-+Crop.jpg Events - *MOVED* FUCKED UP - CORE.

Across Maybe Not Tonight, the exhilarating second album from Lime Garden (released via So Young Records), the intensity of the Brighton four-piece’s writing winds itself into bolts from the blue. The pleasures and perils of partying serve as a thematic through-line, tracking the arc of a night out where unplanned adventures hold sway, fresh impulses are inhabited feverishly, and only the rush matters. “Being bolder and not shying away from our experiences, that’s what this album sounds like to us,” says lead guitarist Leila Deeley, who forms Lime Garden alongside Chloe Howard (singer, guitar), plus Annabel Whittle (drums, production) and Tippi Morgan (bass). “It’s a real statement. Listening to it should feel like a big punch in the face!” https://www.monocafebar.com/events/97b3jgve4v1cw4j4icgq6uz8ru7s1o monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1768836663690-2B4DNVGSN5TYJIPQBDJY/Swell+Maps+poster+web.jpg Events - SWELL MAPS - Mono presents… SWELL MAPS with Normal Service 18+ In the mid-1970s, a collective of six English teenagers started creating music together in their suburban home-town of Solihull. This project evolved to become Swell Maps, around a core of three musicians: Jowe Head (bass, guitars & vocals), his school-friend the late Nikki Sudden (guitar & vocals), and Nikki’s brother, the late Epic Soundtracks (drums & keyboards). They recorded their debut single, “Read About Seymour” in 1977, and released it on their own label, Rather Records. Swell Maps were one of the first punk bands to set up an “independent” record label. They are also known as one of the pioneers of “Alternative Rock”, mixing punk with experimental sounds. Swell Maps proceeded to release four singles and two albums in a brief but eventful career, in partnership with Rough Trade Records. They topped the UK independent charts, and influenced various bands such as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Stereolab, and Blur. The original line-up split in 1980, but those two original studio albums, “A Trip to Marineville” and “Jane From Occupied Europe”, are still attracting a new generation of enthusiastic listeners. In 2021, Jowe Head organised performances with ten musicians to perform Swell Maps music over two concerts on consecutive nights at Cafe Oto, in Hackney, east London. They performed a diverse selection of Maps material, some of which had never been performed live before. Many of these musicians also performed together again at Rough Trade in 2022, at the launch party for Jowe’s book on Swell Maps. More concerts followed at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris, Manchester, Leeds and Berlin, and more are planned. This ongoing project has resulted in a new album, recorded in early 2025, titled “C21”, and released through Tiny Global Productions. The material was composed by Jowe and other band members at various times between 1979 and the present. For example, Jowe co-wrote two of them with Nikki Sudden, and two with Phones Sportsman. Swell Maps still offer memorable melodies and wild riffs with super hooks, while retaining radical ideas and eccentric musical shapes. There are contrasts of mood, including a new recording of Epic’s ballad “Jelly Babies”, his 1982 solo single. The current collective of musicians features: Jowe Head (vocals, guitar), a founder-member of Swell Maps. David Callahan (vocals, guitar), from Wolfhounds and Moonshake. Jeff Bloom (drums), from Television Personalities. Lee McFadden (bass), from Alternative TV. Lucie Rejchrtova (keyboards), formerly in Crazy World Of Arthur Brown. Chloe Herrington (melodica, electonica), formerly in Chrome Hoof. Luke Haines (vocals, guitar), formerly of Auteurs, Black Box Recorder. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/exhibition-a-mark-on-heaven-alistair-quietsch monthly 0.5 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1768831881642-EP76MRM0MY4L8L22EAT1/MONO+ADVERT+1.jpg Events - EXHIBITION: A Mark On Heaven - Alistair Quietsch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/exhibition-journey-to-the-centre-of-amor monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1768299236303-33CB04KMTG31ZT9LVDBP/image0.jpeg Events - EXHIBITION: Journey To The Centre of Amor - Make it stand out TO THE CENTRE OF AMOR <3 Mono Café | OPEN NIGHT : 2/02/26 20:00, Open until 03/03/26, WORKSHOP : 04/02/26 18:30 A month-long contemporary art exhibition from exciting new voices, on love, connection, and shared space.

Individually three multi award-winning artists, Lady Maisery form a unified voice, carrying stories of sisterhood, human struggle, the joy of living and the vitality of song with the "freshest possible take on traditional music" (Folk Radio UK). Their long-standing effervescent collaboration has been described as "adventurous and beautiful" (Mark Radcliffe, Radio 2) "exquisite and thrilling" (The Guardian) with "a generosity of spirit and joie de vivre that seems to emanate from every minute of their recorded output as well as from their exuberant live shows" (Folk Radio UK). Their fifth studio album Tender was released at the end of 2022 to far-reaching acclaim. An arresting record exploring the power in vulnerability, the tenderness of collective wounds and the strength in kindness, it was hailed "a beguiling blend of ancient and modern" (The Times) and "both nurturing and raw, a sensitive response to the times we are living in" (Daily Info). *Tender* entered the Official Indie Album Charts at number 18, the Official Indie Album Breakers Chart at number 3 (rare accolades for British folk!) before spending a whole year in the Official Folk Chart's top 40. In 2026 the band will be previewing some new songs before heading into the studio.

While the 13-track Reside carries the same effortlessly beautiful melodies, delicate introspection and hazy instrumentation that have colored albums like 2021’s Sequoia Moon and 2023’s Campanita, the process of constructing the songs was quite literally flipped on its head this time around, with drummer/multi-instrumentalist Eugene Chung handling the bulk of the songwriting duties, later leaning on his bandmates (frontman Matthew Terry and multi-instrumentalist Winston Triolo) to bring his ideas to life. The result is an album that carries Summer Salt’s hallmark aesthetic, a swirl of surf pop, bossa nova and retro indie that evokes long coastal drives and the slow exposure of Polaroid photos on scorching summer afternoons while offering new emotional textures and lyrical depth. Even after its final notes fade, Reside lingers, the sort of feelings that stick with you after the sun has set, the summer has slipped away, and the golden haze of memory begins to clear. In those quiet, reflective moments, Summer Salt’s music hums: familiar and full of feeling. It’s a gentle reminder of the past and a nudge toward the future, but also the stillness of the now. You’ll get where you’re going eventually. Until then, be where you are. 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/buck-meek monthly 0.5 2025-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1759767956808-O2N6Y7FBKP5CSRL2NP15/260318+-+Buck+Meek+%2B+Germaine+Dunes+-+Crop.jpg Events - Buck Meek - 432 PRESENTS… Following his youth in Wimberley, TX, playing blues, manouche jazz, and western swing in bars and dance halls across the state, Buck moved to Brooklyn and released two solo EPs, Live from a Volcano (2013), and Heart Was Beat (2015).

These works by Davardo, can be described as a liminal exploration of consciousness, weaving the tangible textures of lived experiences with the elusive, dreamlike qualities of transitional states. They inhabit the threshold between the anecdotal and the abstract, where personal narratives dissolve into hypnogogic (pre-sleep) and hypnopompic (pre-awakening) imagery. This creates a fluid dialogue between the concrete and the surreal, inviting viewers to traverse the borderlands of memory, perception and subconscious intuition. The work acts as a bridge translating ephemeral moments - both grounded and ethereal - into visual or sensory form, evoking the uncanny beauty of existing in the in-between. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/blood-orange-essex-honey-listening-party-signing monthly 0.5 2025-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1cbcf9db-3ee1-4fa3-b634-ebe798595e7e/Essex-Honey-600x600.webp Events - Blood Orange - Essex Honey Listening Party & Signing - monorail music presents… We are delighted to welcome Blood Orange to Glasgow!

We will be hosting an opening for the exhibition on July 17th, with Dj sets by Monorail’s Stephen Pastel and Michael Kasparis. Matthew Rich is a screen-printer and artist based in Glasgow. In 2025 he is a facilitator at the heart of the Glasgow art and music scene but in 1982 he was a working screen-printer at the beginning of Factory Records’ dominance of the Manchester club scene. I Am The Fly is an exhibition of original posters from the era, saved from the print run by Rich at the time and stored at his studio in The Glue Factory, Glasgow. The exhibition will feature large format posters that were intended for public use on the streets of Manchester by artists like The Smiths, The Fall, Prince Far-I, Alan Vega, S.P.K., Blue Orchids, Culture and many more. Included in the exhibition are other posters for artists lost to time, club nights where new genres were being formed in real time and club listing posters from legendary Manchester venues like The Hacienda, The Ritz Ballroom and more. Rounding off the exhibition are documentary photographs taken at the time by Matthew and his colleagues that portray Manchester as it was; an industrial city at the heart of Thatcher’s Britain, a city thriving in the underground thanks to a youth movement that were in the process of being dumped on the dole by the Conservative government. I Am The Fly is not only a time capsule of time and place but a celebration of the art of documentation. These cheap, quickly-designed and printed artifacts played their part in constructing a visual language that informs our world today. That Manchester is gone but we have a slice of it here. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/fortitude-valley monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1752140476884-LWLRKKL4JTDGS6ETH4VN/flinch.+booked+a+show+again+%281%29.png Events - flinch. x Fortitude Valley - flinch. booked a show again presents… It's friends playing big angsty tunes together!

And it is in the collective and the idea of participation that Mermaid Chunky really clicks. This is a party, a collective dance, made all the better with more: people, ideas, layers, kick drums, recorders, saxophones, frogs. To wit, the album’s first track and first single, “Céilí,” named after a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering and dance, which builds from a simple recorder line into a swelling, warm burst of major chord dance music. Goosebumps or check your pulse. Further down the rabbit hole, “Chaperone” is almost boardwalk electro, like Fischerspooner on a ferris wheel; “Frogsporn” and “Nature Girl” are mucky, trippy dirges filled with stalactites of synth and squelch; “Tiny Gymnast” is a kaleidoscopic waltz into the night. Hold onto your seats, ladies and gentlemen. You might be wondering how we, DFA Records, all the way over in cynical Brooklyn, entered the picture. There was a day a few years ago, sun shining in full Springtime splendor, when James heard something while waiting for a coffee down the street from the office. It sounded simple yet deceptively complex: a dance track where the one - that anchoring first beat in a measure - could be heard a thousand different ways. Frustrated and interested, he Shazamed the song, playing from an episode of Zakia’s Questing show on NTS, and brought it back to the office. (The song, FYI, was “Friends,” from Mermaid Chunky’s VEST EP, released in 2020.) It led to an invitation to open for LCD Soundsystem at Brixton Academy in 2022 and the eventual deal with DFA. Mermaid Chunky has also played live alongside The Comet Is Coming, Alabaster DePlume, Snapped Ankles, and many others.” https://www.monocafebar.com/events/creeping-bent-the-end-of-definition monthly 0.5 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1751289870721-P4FJR35ZI6XU90G0L7YC/creeping+bent+the+end+of+definition.jpeg Events - Creeping Bent : The End of Definition - POP MUTATIONS PRESENTS… THE END OF DEFINITION The Ballad of Creeping Bent 12.12.1994. - 12.12.2025.

Since then, Pile’s released eight acclaimed albums, each showcasing differentfacets of its members’ talents. Dripping, the post-hardcore 2012 breakthrough, encapsulated thefrenetic power of epic basement gigs. 2017’s A Hairshirt of Purposetwisted Pile’s angularities for greater clarity, incorporating strings without losing menace. Connery’s temporary departure after this record brought respected engineer and peer Alex Molini in on bass; the electronic experimentalism ofAll Fiction(2023) deepened the production relationship between Maguireand Molini, proving the band’s exploratory commitment as lifelong. That doesn’t scratch Pile’s dozen other releases, including B-side compilations, outtake EPs, demo cassettes, and live reworkings. They’ve earned a reputation as workhorses, crafting thought-provoking riffs while maintaining a tour schedule of international headlining, festival slots, and support for legendary and likeminded artists like Jesus Lizard and Cursive. 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/pride2025 monthly 0.5 2025-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1749460492507-W88T9FYJZMML3KC87K0D/PRIDEigSQUARE.jpg Events - QUEER HISTORY OF DANCE MUSIC X BUM NOTES PRESENTS PRIDE - QUEER HISTORY OF DANCE MUSIC & BUM NOTES PRESENT… It's Pride at Mono - we are hosting a stunning selection of DJs, drag and cabaret from 4pm till late.

Funneled into the album are moments of vulnerability and romance, creating a generationally great statement of youthful wistfulness and very adult growth that also happens to be very charming and sometimes funny. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/myd1gvkgq6654q43ud0rurhmr3hlt4 monthly 0.5 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1744028387608-P4FVH6AWZZLZCPV6N0L4/PGF+horizontal+photo.jpg Events - POiSON GiRL FRiEND - MONO & Pop Mutations present… POiSON GiRL FRiEND With support from SHHE Wednesday 27th August 2025 7pm 14+ (Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult) POiSON GiRL FRiEND is a solo musical project by nOrikO. A singer, songwriter, composer, producer, and DJ based mainly in Japan, she formed The Poison Girl Friends in 1990 with her friends. By the end of 1991, it became her solo unit as POiSON GiRL FRiEND. The name has since been commonly used as an alias for nOrikO. Born in Yokohama to a chanson singer mother, nOrikO spent her childhood in Rio de Janeiro, where she attended a French-language elementary school. This multicultural upbringing exposed her to Brazilian rhythms and French chanson, further enriching her diverse musical foundation. Raised in Tokyo during her teenage years, she developed an affinity for British New Wave music. Time spent in London and Paris in the late ’80s introduced a love for the European club scene, which later influenced the project’s signature sound. Influencing contemporary artists of the younger generation, POiSON GiRL FRiEND continues to push musical boundaries while preparing new albums and touring projects. SHHE is a Scottish-Portuguese sound artist, musician and producer based in Dundee, Scotland. Her multidisciplinary work explores themes of identity and connection at the intersection of sound, space, environment, and ecology. Sound works, performances and installations have been presented at V&A Dundee co-commissioned by MSCTY Tokyo, Sonica Glasgow, Dundee Contemporary Arts, Edinburgh Festival, Celtic Connections, Summerhall, Cryptic Nights, Radiophrenia (Scotland), and in Portugal, Spain, Iceland, Brazil, Egypt, and Iraq-Kurdistan. Her eponymous debut album was released by One Little Independent Records and shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year. In 2024, mini-album ‘DÝRA’ was released to critical acclaim. SHHE is a Cryptic Artist and co-founder/producer of dundee radio club. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/ughtr72iv0zsnp8vwcba4200hu24dg monthly 0.5 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1743423632138-UHVBIOYKS31A9L39MZ3S/Nick+Shoulders.jpg Events - Nick Shoulders - regular music presents… Nick Shoulders plus special guests Wednesday 2 July 2025 £18.00 + stbf 18+ All Bad, the latest album from Nick Shoulders, released via Gar Hole Records (a label founded and co-owned by Shoulders), ultimately encapsulates everything that makes Shoulders’ inimitable form of country music so vital: a heady balance of dazzling musicianship and punk defiance, coupled with gritty eccentricity and a generational connection to the roots of the genre. With a singing style inherited from his family’s vocal lineage, Nick’s songs achieve the rare feat of imparting difficult truths while inciting a certain joyful abandon, balancing a sound forged by years of hard travel with a heartfelt reverence for the origins of country music. In the spirit of Hazel Dickens and Jimmy Driftwood, the incisive yet wildly jubilant All Bad vocally objects to the reckless destruction of the natural landscape and development run rampant, while still offering plenty of joy and dance-ready rhythms. Spanning a variety of early country styles, the album’s infectious harmonies shine alongside everything from jangling cajun waltzes to surf-rock infused bluesy ballads–all tied together by a voice seemingly out of place in this century, yet ever ready to speak up about its problems. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/to-glasgow-with-love monthly 0.5 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/da7b94c4-8da2-42ab-8dd4-1ecd5aee8bd3/Screenshot+2025-03-20+094501.png Events - TO GLASGOW WITH LOVE X - Fundraiser For Refuweegee Here’s to the first of many!

Quinie with full band New Album Forefowk, Mind Me Launch Party. 18+ Support from Harry Gorski Brown And UZGANC Choir Glasgow based singer Quinie releases her third album, Forefowk, Mind Me, with Upset The Rhythm. To celebrate we are hosting the official Launch party at Mono, on Thursday 29th of May. Working from the Scots song tradition, Quinie brings an approach to folk music that is both reverent and radical—exploring authenticity in tradition as something continually reshaped rather than preserved. To develop this record, Quinie did a walking research trip across Argyll with her horse, Maisie, exploring connection to land, ancestors, and tradition. The album’s vinyl release is accompanied by an artist’s book and film documenting the process. The launch party will be a rare chance to see the record performed by the full and original band featuring Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (viola), Oliver Pitt (duduk, bouzouki, percussion), Harry Górski-Brown (small pipes, violin), and Stevie Jones (double bass, recording, mixing)—blending traditional, early, and experimental music. Harry Gorski Brown https://www.harrygorskibrown.com Harry will perform some of his Durt Dronemaker After Dreamboats album, release on GLARC, shonky small pipes and Gaelic song. Expect atonal drones and a GSOH. UZGANC choir https://wormhook.bandcamp.com/track/folk-from-the-vaults-of-a-death-cult-live-at-stereo-glasgow-april-2023 Uzganc is a Glasgow based choir started by Martin Steuck (aka Wormhook). It is a testing ground for voices, made up of a changeable group musicians and non musicians.

The record garnered widespread acclaim for its mesmerizing soundworld that transcends genres and hemispheres, succeeding in being both boldly experimental and wildly catchy. They have performed across Europe, the UK, and Asia, including appearances at festivals such as WOMAD, Roskilde Festival, Le Guess Who?, and Levitation France, to name a few. They are coming back with their new album “Wheels Of Ömon” in 2025.

Amidon and Gendel had long been two members of a mutual admiration society. When Amidon first saw Gendel play at his now-fabled residency at the Hollywood Italian restaurant Pace years earlier, he was wowed by Gendel’s open-ended enthusiasm and stylistic vim, plus charmed by his invitation to sit in on violin, though he didn’t know much about making “jazz.” Gendel, too, had been an ardent fan of Amidon’s voice and flexibility since seeing him on YouTube nearly two decades ago. Gendel even joined Amidon and the great Milford Graves for the 12-minute finale of 2017’s *The Following Mountain*. But what, exactly, were the New England folk musician now living in England and the pedal-hopping polyglot saxophonist going to do for the better part of a week in Gendel’s Venice home, in his ad hoc dining room studio? Neither exactly knew.

He has earned a reputation as both a singularly compelling performer and a persuasive evangelist for the rootsy, country blues styles that captured his imagination early in life and inspired him and his band to make pilgrimages to Clarksdale, Mississippi to study under such blues masters as T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and David “Honeyboy” Edwards. Their latest record *Dance Songs For Hard Times* went #1 on the Billboard, iTunes and Sirius XM Blues Charts and was produced by Grammy winner Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton). The record is critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Relix, Popmatters, Guitar World, American Songwriter, No Depression, Glide, Wide Open Country, Paste, American Blues Scene and many more! 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/love-electric monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/9dc96eb2-91ef-4c42-94fd-9e5fc15a5af2/LOVE+ELECTRIC.png Events - LOVE ELECTRIC - The ultimate pre-Valentine's party.

With the heating off in The Loft to avoid sound interference, the band was bundled in multiple sweaters and sitting on their hands between takes. Working closely with musician/producer Cate Le Bon (Deerhunter, Kurt Vile, Wilco) Horsegirl found focus and intimacy in the studio that can only arise when it’s simply too cold to step outside. Abandoning the heavy saturation and character studies of Versions of Modern Performance, Le Bon leads them into new, bright, clear, sonic territories that highlight the inventive nature of these new songs. After playing together for four years, Horsegirl explores the limits of the trio configuration within Phonetics On and On— what if instead of filling out songs with distortion, they utilized the expanse that the three of them didn’t occupy? This question seems to be the motivating force behind the record, and the songs are a testament to experimenting with space and texture while maintaining a pop song at the core. New tools help bring this world to life; violins, synths, and gamelan tiles are all woven into the record with complete effect. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/deluxxe-cabaret-launch-night monthly 0.5 2024-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1733480244848-R47Y8IDBTN2YS31W3MUO/unnamed.jpg Events - Deluxe Cabaret - Launch night! - Deluxe Cabaret & Events presents HOLIDAY HORRORS! 18+ This show will have you realising your deepest fears.

It’s fitting that the debut album where that song originated was called *Safety*, because that’s always been Luca’s mission in music: to provide comfort and sanctuary, not just from the cruel world that can so often bring us down, but from the dark thoughts and messy feelings that can plague us in our most insecure moments. Raised on a steady diet of Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, the singer/songwriter from Burnaby, British Columbia possesses a voice that seems soft and gentle on the surface, but cuts deep to reveal hidden truths and suppressed emotions. “I grew up in not the most expressive family,” Luca reflects, “and we were conservative both in the way that we interacted with each other and the way we all bottled things up.” He’s spent his musical career making up for lost time, creating songs that aren’t afraid to be tender, vulnerable, and brutally honest.

John Peel played both extensively. The songs perfectly captured the post-punk zeitgeist and Treacy had to get many more copies pressed to keep up with demand. Over the next few decades the line-up of the band changed many times, but they would go on to release a large catalogue of beautifully crafted songs about love, war and the human condition that would endear them to many - and influence an ever-growing number of musicians and those in the music business including Kurt Cobain, MGMT, Alan McGee and Evan Dando. After suffering from an aneurysm in 2011, Dan Treacy was confined to a nursing home unable to perform. In 2018, several former band members got together to perform a series of benefit gigs and now four of those former members, Dave Musker, Jeff Bloom, Mike Stone and Lee McFadden continue to perform as Television Personalities to showcase the amazing songwriting talent of Dan Treacy. Dan is still a member of the band in his absence and as such a proportion of band earnings go towards his medical care and/or a charity of the choice of his family. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/10-years-of-spite-house-lung-leg-comfort-more monthly 0.5 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1728550513886-8X4SPQJQ15CTF1Q841SE/Lung+Leg+B+%26+W.jpg Events - 10 YEARS OF SPITE HOUSE - LUNG LEG, COMFORT & MORE - Mono & Spite House present… 10 YEARS OF SPITE HOUSE Come down to Mono and celebrate ten years of events with your friendly, local queer-feminist not-for-profit collective!

The group was formed somewhere in the mid-aughts by songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and sole consistent band member Kevin Boyer, who enlisted various friends to cultivate a raw, rudimentary punk sound that manages to get back to basics while at the same time presenting abstract perspectives and weird concepts not normally explored by your everyday garage band. There have been mutations over the years as the band toured regularly and released a run of solid albums with labels like Siltbreeze and In The Red, but with every reformation, Tyvek still didn't sound quite like anyone else. Their new album, the self released Overground (Ginkgo, 2023), stays true to their reputation for delivering hit after hit of blistering punk and remains tightly wound until it unspools into the dreamlike title track, an extended post Velvets plea for human decency. Tyvek's current line-up of all-stars guarantee an intense live show: Shelley Salant (Shells, XV), Alex Glendening (Deadbeat Beat), Fred Thomas (Idle Ray), and Emily Roll (XV) channel the high-energy rock'n'roll of Detroit's past while side-stepping the cliches to push forward into an uncharted future. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/covered-a-project-ability-exhibition monthly 0.5 2024-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/4b140086-8209-4bb3-9912-c26328c7b14b/The+Rolling+Stones+by+Scott+Smith.jpg Events - Covered- A Project Ability exhibition - Covered A Project Ability exhibition at Mono 11 September – 30 October 12 Kings Court, King St, Glasgow G1 5RB Covered is an exhibition of album cover artwork made by artists working across Project Ability’s different studio programmes.

Why don't you venture out the front door and take a bite of the real thing? The Smashing Times are a mainstay in the indie pop underground. The group mistrals the new modern life perfectly, the sharper world. collaged with 12 string guitar and mallet on the floor tom. Featuring Thee Jasmine Monk and Zelda-Anais (The Smashing Times, Midden Heap) as well as scene stalwarts Britta Leijonflycht (Almond Joy, Children Maybe Later, Linda Smith), Paul Krolian (Expert Alterations, Linda Smith), Blake Douglas (Corduroy, Midden Heap, Linda Smith) “When you call your band Smashing Times you can’t help instantly getting the flavour of the Television Personalties and Dan Treacy but on their second album, the band deliver that and so much more. This really is a fusion of psychedelic, twee and freakbeat that will make your heart skip and your head smile. The guitars shimmer, strum and jangle whilst the vocals float effortlessly on top of the efficient rhythm section. Every song is a bundle of energy with hooks that come both instantly and after multiple plays. Without doubt, if it had been recorded in the 80’s would have been released on Whaam or Dreamworld but luckily for you pop kids this 2023 and K have the honor of releasing it.” (Sean Forbes) ballboy Favourites of the late John Peel, who invited them to perform five sessions for his BBC Radio 1 show 2000-2004 as well as featured them many times in his Festive Fifty chart, ballboy are a cult indie-pop band from Edinburgh whose warm, whimsical and savagely witty speak-sung songs about bored sex, DIY drugs, civic shame and polar bears helped to define a generation of fiercely independent Scottish music around the turn of the millennium. Much of ballboy’s most evocative and enduring work was captured on a trio of EPs – Silver Suits for Astronauts (1999), I Hate Scotland (2000) and Girls Are Better Than Boys (2001) – later collected on the 2001 compilation album Club Anthems 2001. Lost Map Records are excited to work with ballboy on a reissue of Club Anthems 2001 – available to pre-order now – which will see the album released on vinyl for the very first time. This anniversary edition of the record comes with tracks from the follow-up EP, All The Songs On The Radio Are Shite (2002). ballboy are Gordon McIntyre, together with Nick Reynolds (bass), Gary Morgan (drums), Alexa Morrison (keys, vocals), and Katie Griffiths (synths). Evoking shades of The Wedding Present, The Field Mice, Arab Strap and Billy Bragg, Club Anthems 2001 helped to break ballboy to an international audience and saw the band go on to tour widely around the US and Europe, as well as release four full-length albums – A Guide for the Daylight Hours (2002), The Sash My Father Wore and Other Stories (2003), The Royal Theatre (2004) and I Worked on the Ships (2008). In parallel, Gordon has released solo records both as ++Money Can’t Buy Music and under his own name. In 2008 Gordon co-created the Traverse Theatre Company production Midsummer [a play with songs] together with David Greig. Following a critically acclaimed run in Edinburgh that year, it has since gone on to be performed around the world. The debut Gordon McIntyre solo album titled Even With The Support Of Others was released on Lost Map in 2022 to much acclaim. The 21st anniversary reissue of Club Anthems 2001 marked a much-anticipated return to full-band activity for ballboy after the best part of a decade’s stasis. It has also offered the chance for Katie Griffiths to rejoin the band for shows making ballboy a twin-keyboard 5-piece band at present.

Also featuring an acoustic musical set from Katy (The Fizzbombs, The Secret Goldfish) and Douglas MacIntyre (Article 58, The Secret Goldfish, Sexual Objects, Port Sulphur). There will also be an opportunity to buy a copy or copies of Katy's memoir, signed by the author. Katy’s story is first and foremost, a musical, family memoir. Both parents come with their own lives immersed in the Scottish music scene of the 1980s – Katy enmeshed in everything that was Edinburgh-based C86 indie pop, while her bandmate and future husband, Douglas MacIntyre, embraced the Scottish post-punk era. At the turn of the century, just as the the couple’s musical projects are in the midst of a creative overload, children start to appear at an alarming rate. Six years and five children later, SandFest was born – raising thousands of pounds over the next decade for Down’s Syndrome charities. A family. Functioning. JUST – music is always there to save the day. At the centre of this family saga is the indomitable spirit of middle child, Matilda, whose Down Syndrome is, in equal parts, challenging and an amazing gift within the family dynamic! In part, with the raw and unflinching honesty Katy tells of her encounters with the medical profession and educational authorities, which can be described as alternating between difficult and wonderful. At heart, this is the story of a family’s love of music and how it has provided purpose, forged relationships and created harmony in every aspect of their lives … with Matilda in the middle.

The Guatemala-native, Mexico City-based Fratti–recently profiled by Pitchfork has also shared two singles from the album: “Kravitz,” out now across DSPs, and “Pantalla azul” out now exclusively via a Emanuel Juarez-directed video. Anchored by brilliant plucked cello that acts as a bassline, “Kravitz” introduces a staple of the record: the clever brass stabs, whistles, parps, and other interjections that paint a canvas of traffic in a city–all resulting in a postmodern, widescreen sound. *“It’s a song about the sensation of not knowing where the opinions come from and the chicken or egg question: do they come from outside? Do they come from inside? Also, who wants to listen to these opinions? Who actually listens to them?”* explains Fratti.

The group delivered their eponymous full-length debut in 2017. Their more expansive third album, 2021's A Billion Little Lights, enlisted help from session musicians and Grammy-winning engineer David Greenbaum. Following 2021's 6 Cover Songs EP and Ross' recovery from cancer surgery, they delivered their textured and thoughtful fourth album, 2022's ILYSM. Ross formed Wild Pink in New York after sharing a two-track release, they made their label debut with the EP Good Life on Texas Is Funny Records in June 2015. That led to a record deal with Tiny Engines, which issued the EP 4 Songs in 2016. The band's debut album, Wild Pink, arrived on Tiny Engines in early 2017. They co-produced their next album with Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh). The resulting Yolk in the Fur came out in mid-2018. March 2019's 5 Songs was their final release with Tiny Engines.” More to be announced https://www.monocafebar.com/events/the-orchids-14-iced-bears-wandering-summer monthly 0.5 2024-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1718287985013-S98B5XX2VIT97TGV4IDB/image0.jpeg Events - The Orchids, 14 Iced Bears, Wandering Summer - GLAS-GOES POP PRESENTS… 18+ Glas-Goes Pop is delighted to present a mini Sarah Spectacular with 14 Iced Bears, Wandering Summer (ex-Boyracer) and our local lads, The Orchids, kicking it all off!

On Rooting For Love, the report is set alight by the heat of a turbulent world, collapsing institutions and Laetitia’s fully engaged process of expression as well as orchestration. The opening number, “Who + What” elucidates the central issue of the album: a call for a collective striving for Gnosis – an inquisitive outlook that will lend clues to the traumatized civilizations of Earth, allowing us to evolve away from millennia of alienation and suffering and towards the achievability of healing. The musical arrangements help to embody the layers of the issue, as with “Who + What”’s combination of organ, synths, guitar, bass, trombone, drum programming, vibraphone and zither, all working along intricate paths of chord and tempo changes. Leading from the inside is the implacable presence of Laetitia Sadier, herself interacting with a vocal assembly of men and women billed as The Choir. The regular reappearance of The Choir throughout Rooting For Love is a reminder of this music being one of a people in critical mass, in addition to an evolution that continues to deepen the rich harmonic fields in which Laetitia plays. Past wounds are addressed again and again in the libretto, as the music provides a transformational balm to aid the healing process. The melodic funk of bassist Xavi Muñoz leads a Chic-adjacent slink to the occasional dance floor vibes and no-wave rockouts, while Hannes Plattemier and Emma Mario take turns in mixing the tracks and informing the far reaches of the material, with vibes, additional drum programming and synths alongside a talented cast of players and singers from Laetita’s Source Ensemble and beyond. Whether drawing inspiration from Zen Shiastu training, or the lyrics of Véronique Vincent, (lyricist and singer for Aksak Maboul, and once upon a time, lead singer of the Honeymoon Killers), Laetitia faces the truth without flinching. The shadows, whatever stuff they are made of - individual and collective, present and ancestral - need to be recognized and acknowledged, because the more we heal within ourselves, the more undivided we become in the face of looming Neo-fascist/Neoliberal narratives polluting the inner and outer landscapes. As with the cover image of the winter tree mirrored by the word patterns of Rooting For Love, Laetitia maintains that how we heal the world that’s coming, and what we make of it, will be a co-creation. The quality of our imagination, the orientation we give our thoughts and the capacity to bring love to ourselves and the world are a first step. Alongside of her collaboration with Modern Cosmology, last year’s incredible What Will You Grow Now?, as well as her continued tours with a reformed Stereolab, Rooting For Love finds Laetitia back in the world, once again urging all our grounded inner alignment and heart power to make us better equipped for creating what’s to come. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/pom-poko monthly 0.5 2024-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1715705911575-ZSU8Q88XII8HVCD00VZT/241014+-+Pom+Poko+-+Crop.jpeg Events - POM POKO - 432 Presents… Pom Poko are growing up. On Champion, a monumental slice of reflective and life-affirming post-punk, vocalist/lyricist Ragnhild Fangel Jamtveit, bassist Jonas Krøvel, guitarist Martin Miguel Almagro Tonne, and drummer Ola Djupvik are the closest they’ve ever been, both personally and in terms of their hermetically tight four-piece rock instrumentation. When most bands call each other “family”, it’s a bit of a cliché—but with Pom Poko, after years of touring the four corners of the world and instituting a stringently democratic songwriting process, they really have evolved into one highly-synchronized unit, whose mission is to stay as true to their artistic values as possible while continuing to explore the farthest reaches of their slightly chaotic, always exhilarating sound. “It feels like we’re maturing and growing up together,” explains Ragnhild. “By the time this album comes out, we’ll have been a band for eight years. It’s like we’re evolving. When you’re not grinding with the band all the time, you gain an appreciation for what you’ve built. It's like a very weird and really lovely little gang to hang out in. I almost feel like we’re superheroes—it’s like being a part of Powerpuff Girls.” Champion is Pom Poko’s third LP, after their blistering debut Birthday in 2019, and 2021’s critically acclaimed Cheater. Both albums served to cement the band’s sound: Ragnhild’s high-pitched yet crystal clear voice punctuating the rest of the band’s ferocious onslaught of noise, which fluctuates from post-punk to math-rock and everything in between.

Chime School are the latest in a run of acclaimed Bay Area groups to hit the UK. Marrying the pristine jangle of electric 12-string guitars with nervy, hooky songs, Chime School conjures a unique and instantly recognisable form of indie pop, rooted in the buoyant, driving pulse of the genre’s 1980’s and 90’s forebears, while still locked in a kaleidoscopic stare with its 1960’s originators. Guided by San Francisco musician Andy Pastalaniec, Chime School began as a solo home recording project, paying homage to the formative jangle of The Byrds by way of early Primal Scream; the production and pop sensibility of Biff Bang Pow and The Razorcuts; and the spirit of great singles labels like Creation, Subway, Postcard and Sarah. Though it would have fit with any of those labels, Chime School found a natural home with Slumberland Records, releasing a self-titled debut in 2021, and a follow-up 7” single in 2023. In its wake, Pastalaniec assembled a live group comprised of Bay Area indie vets, touring up and down the US West Coast, playing with many of the contemporary indie cognoscenti, from labelmates The Umbrellas; The Reds, Pinks & Purples; and Papercuts; as well as Cindy, Blues Lawyer, The Smashing Times, and others. Their sophomore LP is slated for release this summer on Slumberland Records. Outsider Artists are delighted to present the first UK tour for Chime School, tickets for all dates are on sale now!

John Maher photographs, Buzzcocks promo films. Paul Hanley and John Maher in conversation with Stephen Pastel Wednesday 12 June, 8pm Every few years I have the same epiphany and remember how important Buzzcocks music was to me, especially in my teenage years - not only their music but the pathways they suggested. When Pete Shelley died I was visiting my mum, in my old bedroom, and it hit me hard - this person I didn’t know but looked up to, who had changed my life. How can that be? In his brilliant book, Sixteen Again, ex-Fall drummer, Paul Hanley, grapples with something similar - the relationship between a young fan and his favourite group. But it’s a bigger picture that Hanley paints - he gets inside the group and explains their importance not only in their time but as a legacy - what they meant to the groups that followed them, to the independent music scene and to Manchester music and the city in general. Hanley’s argument is that Pete Shelley was the pivotal person in all of this - the connector, the low-key genius, the accidental hero. We will be joined by John Maher, Buzzcocks incredible drummer, and one of Pete Shelley’s many friends. Maher was quite a bit younger than the other members but there from the start, leaving school at sixteen to join the group - the propulsion and harnessed energy behind Spiral Scratch and their subsequent amazing four year run. He is now a highly regarded photographer, famous for his buldings and landscapes work in the Hebrides.

Smooth and soulful ‘Hush’ marks a new direction for LYLO. It depicts the desperate desire to connect with others, whilst wrestling with anxiety and a play-hard-to-get inner voice - portrayed by Esmé’s vocal additions - through pensive-cum-bitter lyricisms. “It’s melancholic but carries a playfulness to it,” says the band. “If anyone ever fancies a reflective dance, we hope this is the song.” The video was made in collaboration with BAFTA nominees, director Daniel Cook and producer Marcy Paterson, and further enhances the narrative of the anxious voice, and what one does in an attempt to escape it. Stylistic references to the 1979 movie, The Warriors, are seen in the radio live room scenes, which is starkly contrasted with the mundane routine inspired by the style and aesthetic of Takeshi Kitano’s films. Thoughts of Never, engineered and co-produced with friend Joel Patchett (Billy Ocean, King Krule), was written with the members residing in both Berlin and Glasgow, directly affecting the album's motifs. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/bn5mcoscekklciblltfplx06c43710 monthly 0.5 2024-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1715181538853-DIW8H5GXMBLH0VHGPFOC/MaryLattimore_RPCassells_77H7A2680.jpg Events - MARY LATTIMORE - POP MUTATIONS PRESENTS… Mary Lattimore + Walt McClements Wednesday 4th September at Mono Doors 7:30pm 18+ Mary Lattimore is a harpist and composer living in Los Angeles. She experiments with her Lyon and Healy Concert Grand harp and effects. Her solo debut, The Withdrawing Room, was released in 2013 on Desire Path Recordings. Lattimore also writes harp parts for songs and recordings, performing and recording with such great artists as Meg Baird, Thurston Moore, Sharon Van Etten, Jarvis Cocker, Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn, Ed Askew and Fursaxa. Her 2014 record Slant of Light with guitarist/synth player/producer Jeff Zeigler was released by Thrill Jockey, which was followed by the two collaborating on a track for Ghostly Swim 2. Mary and Jeff also composed a score to Philippe Garrel's 1968 experimental silent film Le Revelateur, and debuted it in Marfa, Texas along with the film. Her debut solo record for Ghostly International, At The Dam, was recorded during stops along a road trip across America and released in March 2016. The next year, she compiled sounds from her past life in Philadelphia for a cassette tape titled Collected Pieces. Following an appearance at Moogfest, she was invited by Sigur Ros to perform at their festival, Norður og niður, in Iceland. During a break from those events, she was awarded a residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts in San Francisco, where she recorded Hundreds of Days. Released in May 2018 to acclaim from the likes of NPR, Pitchfork, and The New Yorker, Hundreds of Days presented an expression of mystified gratitude for the natural world. She capped off the banner year — which included international tours with Iceage and Kurt Vile, a performance with Harold Budd at Big Ears Festival, and an appearance on Billboard’s New Age charts — with two collaborative albums released on Three Lobed Recordings, one with Meg Baird and the other with Mac McCaughan. In January 2019, she shared Hundreds of Days Remixes, a collection featuring reworks by Steve Moore, Jónsi, Julianna Barwick, Alex Somers, Paul Corley, and others. Silver Ladders, her third LP on Ghostly, sees Lattimore arriving at her most confident work to date, expanding her style of instrumental storytelling with the help of producer and guitarist Neil Halstead (Slowdive, Mojave 3). Recorded in Halstead’s studio near an old English surftown just before lockdown, the songs on Silver Ladders reflect Lattimore’s vivid memories against the gloom and glimmer of the ocean. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/whlung monthly 0.5 2024-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/ac1471fc-865f-413c-b669-0badc5d9b216/WHLUNG_PRESS-3255.jpg Events - W.H.Lung - 432 PRESENTS… Starting off as a studio only three-piece shrouded in mystery, Manchester's W. H. Lung have evolved across two acclaimed full lengths into one of the UK's most exciting live acts & a forward-thinking synth-pop powerhouse. Currently in the studio with Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, Working Mens Club, Yard Act) with their third album slated for Autumn 2024, the band set out for their biggest UK headline tour to date, and their first since 2022. In the years since their last full length 'Vanities' the band have been off touring mainland Europe & the United States, with a smattering of UK festivals in the midst. A lucky few have caught them road-testing new songs at occasional sell-out secret shows, but now the chance comes to catch them in all their glory. 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/fve20b9sg8m68mfz7qvr84avtx8uev monthly 0.5 2024-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1714583383242-RIHMPP9YM68LTCF34K5L/240925+-+Sam+Evian+-+Crop.jpg Events - Sam Evian - 432 PRESENTS… 18+ Sam Evian, is an American songwriter, instrumentalist and producer based in New York. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/j2iubmma8kfqr8ruo4bcmrhtwlm9qj monthly 0.5 2024-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1713458501483-TMLICGI9DMMHJY19IHOZ/240915+-+Kiio%CC%84to%CC%84+++-+Crop.jpeg Events - Kiiōtō - 432 PRESENTS… Lou and Rohan share roots in Manchester’s early nineties music scene, but until a few years ago had only met only twice. “She was a bit aloof to be honest,” Rohan says of their second interaction backstage with mutual friends. Fast forward to 2021, and the tail-end of lockdown. The same mutual friends asked Rohan to collaborate on a track they were working on and he contacted Lou about writing some lyrics to it. “There was something about the way he communicated, even in emails, that interested me,” Lou says, “I was just beginning an MA in Poetry and had pretty much stepped away from music and Rohan was writing a novel, but we decided to meet for a coffee anyway.” Support from Amy Papiransky 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/6lbb3l7u20sm8ofy6v0aq278llq11v monthly 0.5 2024-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1713355085792-4VNKGFTBUQXLT7YGIQJ5/JXF+-+Photo+credit_+Kate+Medley.jpg Events - JAKE XERXES FUSSELL - POP MUTATIONS PRESENTS… Jake Xerxes Fussell plus support from Sam Moss Live at Mono (18+) Reared in Georgia and now settled in North Carolina, Jake Xerxes Fussell has established himself as a devoted listener and contemplative interpreter of a vast array of so-called folk songs, lovingly sourced from a personal store of favorites. On his latest album, When I’m Called—his first LP for Fat Possum, and his first as a parent—Fussell returns to a well of music that holds lifelong sentimental meaning, loosely contemplating the passage of time and the procession of life’s unexpected offerings. The album was produced by James Elkington and mixed by Tucker Martine. In addition to Elkington, it features the playing of Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), Joe Westerlund (Bon Iver, Califone), and others. Blake Mills contributes guitars on several tracks. Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb provide backing vocals. “…Fussell is the rare contemporary to approach folk in its pure form, shunning self-penned compositions about bummer relationships to concentrate on material handed down from bygone, hardened times.” – The New Yorker “(Fussell) is one of the great magpies of American song, collecting forgotten, tarnished gems with a folklorist’s zeal… his renditions aren’t so much cover versions as composites…” – The Guardian “…maybe the leading interpreter of American folk music right now.” – Ann Powers, NPR Sam Moss Sam Moss is a songwriter and instrumentalist based in Staunton, Virginia. Shapes (2020) is the latest full length LP in his wide ranging discography, one which has been acclaimed by publications like The Boston Globe, NPR, The Wire, and Paste. He has played hundreds of shows around the country and shared bills with Joan Shelley, Diane Cluck, Doug Paisley, and others. Moss plays violin on a duo album with guitarist Rob Noyes (Rob Noyes & Sam Moss) and can sometimes be seen accompanying singer-songwriters like Kris Delmhorst and Jackson Emmer. This summer he released a Lagniappe Session for Aquarium Drunkard. He is also a woodworker. https://sammoss.bandcamp.com/music https://www.monocafebar.com/events/ebyafy1abeaw84wvu2ros9zyxo57uu monthly 0.5 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1713460495192-CI5BHUXQL2U38BUYC3DB/WNS-web-banner.jpeg Events - WHY NOT SCOTLAND?

The film accompanies Flo, a young Scot from Glasgow, on an intensely personal journey, as she seeks out examples of nature recovery around Europe.

What is happening across Europe shows us how landscape-scale ecological restoration can deliver major benefits for nature, climate and people.

From the muted strains of their 2016 EP “Songs From The Cave”, to the assured 2018 TiM debut “Lost & Found”, to the sparkling refrains of “Juillet”; released just before the world collapsed around us, and which stood as the band’s rebirth and purest statement of their music ambitions - until now. “Principia” is the band’s third album and is without a doubt their best yet. “Principia” is a great step forward without sacrificing the things that make the band unique. The nods to French pop (both current & classic) still permeate the proceedings, and the group’s penchant for Anglo-Saxon indie pop from The Nineties (think Electrelane, Stereolab, American Analog Set) still rings out, but there’s an air of - dare we say - maturity in “Principia”s twelve songs. The group always felt a little ‘out-of’ and ‘ahead-of’ its time, but tunes like “Wonder” “The Cutoff” and “Same Old Story” are cinematic and romantic, and absolutely feel like the next great phase of an already great band. 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/dana-gavanski-in-store monthly 0.5 2024-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1706198151258-VSAVV1UU6IRMI9G8U17K/DANA.jpg Events - DANA GAVANSKI IN-STORE - monorail music presents Shop fave Dana Gavanski returns.

Doors 8pm February 28th Mono Cafe Bar 18+ The Brian Jonestown Massacre are one of the great contemporary cult American rock and roll bands. At the peak of their anarchic reign in the San Francisco underground of the mid ’90s their psychedelic output was almost as prodigious and impressive as their narcotic intake. Immortalised in one of the most unforgettable rock and roll documentaries of all time, DIG! alongside their friends/rivals/nemeses, The Dandy Warhol’s, in their early years when the US were obsessed with grunge, the BJM felt like a ’60s anachronism. But with albums like Their Satanic Majesties Second Request and Thank God for Mental Illness, and incendiary, often chaotic, live shows, they burnished their legend as true believers and custodians of the original west coast flame; a privilege and responsibility which continues to this day when the band have a bigger and more dedicated audience than ever. Joel Gion’s memoir tells the story of the first ten years of the band from the Duke Seat. A righteous account of the hazards and pleasures of life on and off the road, In the Jingle Jangle Jungle takes use behind the scenes of the supposed behind the scenes film that cemented the band’s legend. Funny as hell, shot through with the innocence and wonder of a ‘percussionist’ whose true role is that of the band’s ‘spirit animal’, In the Jingle Jangle Jungle is destined to take its place alongside cult classics in the pantheon of rock and roll literature like Playing the Bass with Three Left Hands, Head On, and 45 by Bill Drummond.

On 9 November, the UK’s leading music book imprint White Rabbit will publish Curepedia: An A-Z of The Cure – an encyclopaedic biography of The Cure written by one of the UK’s greatest music writers Simon Price with a foreword by Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite and illustrations by Andy Vella – the designer behind The Cure’s iconic visual identity for the past 30 years. Curepedia is the definitive guide to the band’s past and present, painting a comprehensive portrait of the band’s inimitable legacy, politics, image and their rich cultural influences from existentialist writers like Albert Camus; Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast series set in a decaying Gothic castle; to the menacing literary, musical and cinematic connotations behind ‘A Forest’ – a definitive, epically long single that has mutated over the years through series of covers.

The band’s spiritual and philosophical undercurrents never outshine their highly danceable sounds, but both are Integral parts of what they do. Over the years and through the course of a discography that includes not just multiple studio albums but a wealth of fan-focused auxiliary releases, STRFKR’s combination of thoughtful lyricism and party starting hooks have made them a consistent success with critical music listeners and show-goers. They’ve played festivals like Coachella and Outside Lands, wowed audiences on impressive stages the size of Red Rocks, toured through Asia, Europe and Mexico and stacked up hundreds of millions in streaming numbers, all while continuing to grow as artists. 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/the-monochrome-set monthly 0.5 2023-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1695407204213-KS2PJOHFLW5SJ8B48N0B/IMG_3329.jpeg Events - The Monochrome Set - Renegade Communications presents The Monochrome Set with special guests The Cathode Ray Mono, Glasgow Sat 25th May 2024 Doors 7.30pm Tickets £18.00 (stbf) See Tickets, Tickets Scotland Strictly over 18s only The Monochrome Set return to Scotland to promote their new album of 'Marc Riley Sessions from 2011 to 2022.'. 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. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/v4zu7u92fjtgu4t67ptcv1dmzvk1h0 monthly 0.5 2023-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1695406204590-WOKBIYWJVM3BMZN7HXVY/ArtistVisual.png Events - Take Me Somewhere - Aftershow Bar Featuring Jan Wallyn - Take Me Somewhere Festival are taking over Mono for their Aftershow bar on Saturday 21st!

With a solid beat as an undertone, WALLYN tries to formulate an answer. Jan Wallyn and their futuristic movement band WALLYN made their debut during Radiant Nights #5 in De Singel, Antwerp in 2022. Dancers Betty Mansion, Fien Lanckriet and Isaro Mutabazi bring the movement on and off stage. Somewhere between concert hall and nightclub, you will be freed from all norms via progressive house and electro pop.

The event will kick off with a Q&A session, where top industry panellists will discuss the challenges of navigating the music industry as a live artist. They will share their tips on: • The Right Time to Seek Help as a DIY Musician • Navigating the World of Merchandising • Managing Health and Well-being While Gigging • Approaching Venues and Promoters to Secure Gigs • The Art of Negotiation in Gig Terms and Contracts You’ll also have the chance to ask questions to the panellists, who include musicians Dave Acari and Kapil Seshasayee and Hannah Gibson (Engagement Officer at Help Musicians). The panel will be chaired by Nat Witts-Kilshaw, the MU’s Live, Theatre and Music Writers Official. Two live performances As well as being an opportunity to network and make valuable contacts, the evening will also feature special performances from artists Dave Acari and a stripped-back performance from Kapil Seshasayee • Dave Acari - SLIDE guitarist & songwriter Dave Arcari’s alt.blues sounds owe as much to trash country, punk and rockabilly as they do pre-war Delta blues and have been showcased via seven internationally-acclaimed solo album releases on labels including Buzz (UK), Dixiefrog (France) and Blue North (Finland). A top three finalist in UK Blues Federation’s UK Blues Awards 2023 Arcari's music features in numerous BBC TV programmes as well as popular USA series The Deadliest Catch. While continuing to build his audience in the USA with once or twice-annual tours since 2013 – including official showcases at SxSW in Austin, Texas. Arcari maintains his presence on the UK and European touring and festival circuits with regular live shows throughout the year. The ultimate validation for Arcari’s music and performance came in 2019 when National Reso-Phonic Guitars launched the ‘Dave Arcari signature model’ guitar. Arcari joins an elite and exclusive group of players who have signature models and is the first – and only – musician outside the USA to be honoured by the iconic instrument maker whose name is synonymous with the development of the blues genre. • Kapil Seshasayee - Since the release of his 2018 album A Sacred Bore, Scotland-based Indian artist Kapil Seshasayee has gone on to release a handful of songs, perform at U.K. festivals like Latitude, hit the U.S. for South By Southwest (SXSW) and collaborated with American rapper Lil B. Now, he’s finally out with his second album Laal, which he describes as the second installment of his “Desifuturist trilogy” of music which critiques the caste system in all its present-day manifestations. Starting with the release of electronic-rock song “The Item Girl” in 2019 and “The Gharial” in 2020, Seshasayee began plotting out Laal as a project that takes aim at all the identity politics propagated within and through Bollywood and Indian cinema.

The Leisure Society was born when Nick decided to share a London flat with fellow Burton-on-Trent exile and multi-instrumentalist / producer, Christian Hardy. The years following that initial meet have seen the band release 5 critically acclaimed albums. Touring extensively throughout, the The Leisure Society have graced the stage at two Meltdown Festivals (firstly, Richard Thompson’s, then Ray Davies’). They packed a tent at Glastonbury. Brian Eno declared himself a fan, and the band have been nominated for two Ivor Novello awards. The band also provided the decisive musical ending to their pal Paddy Considine’s BAFTA winning directorial debut Tyrannosaur and were invited to perform live with The Heritage Orchestra at a sold out Barbican. In 2016, the band was derailed by the break-up of Nick and long-term partner, flautist Helen Whitaker. Retreating to their roots, Nick and Christian left the UK to tour Europe as a duo, then another 3 weeks touring Italy with violinist Mike Siddell in tow. New songs emerged throughout this period and developed in intimate venues, hotel rooms and moonlit courtyards. The result was “Arrivals & Departures” (2019) – the band’s most ambitious and diverse record to date, charting the journey from heartbreak, to bitterness, to hope, in 57 lavish minutes. Now the band are working on their seventh studio album, due for release in 2023. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/qst7l88w7eaj84xmvbbnawc81jby0j monthly 0.5 2023-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1693396552438-U9GI2V90JDWSL3IYEGWK/teenage.png Events - Teenage Fanclub - MONORAIL MUSIC PRESENTS… We are so excited to host our old friends Teenage Fanclub for a live instore!

An unassuming supergroup formed out of Glasgow institutions including Goth GF, Passion Pusher, Brenda and Soursob, their sound careens between punk, country and alt-rock underpinned by the unique quality they call “Raw Liquid Power”. Following last year’s self-titled demo tape on Gold Mold Records, and fresh off of shows with the likes of Holiday Ghosts, The Cool Greenhouse and The Orielles, as well as a rollicking Viagra Boys afterparty, the four-piece will release their highly-anticipated first studio effort ‘Raw Liquid Power’ on Upset The Rhythm on August 4th. 8:30PM 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/thurston-moore-group monthly 0.5 2023-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1689358415407-G44JTQU5A0FTK810I9NS/IMG-8588.jpeg Events - Thurston Moore Group - MONORAIL MUSIC PRESENTS… Woah! One night only. Special live performance from Thurston Moore Group, support by R.AGGS! Saturday 22 July 2023 8pm. 18+ Thurston Moore started Sonic Youth in 1980. Since then Thurston Moore has been at the forefront of the alternative rock scene since that particular sobriquet was first used to signify any music that challenged and defied the mainstream standard. With Sonic Youth, Moore turned on an entire generation to the value of experimentation in rock n roll – from its inspiration on a nascent Nirvana, to Sonic Youth’s own Daydream Nation album being chosen by the US Library of Congress for historical preservation in the National Recording Registry in 2006. Thurston records and performs in a cavalcade of disciplines ranging from free improvisation to acoustic composition to black/white metal/noise disruption. He has worked with Yoko Ono, John Zorn, Bobby Gillespie, David Toop, Cecil Taylor, Faust, Glenn Branca and many others. Presently he performs and records solo, with various ensembles and in his own band, The Thurston Moore Group (with mbv’s Deb Googe). In 2014, the band released THE BEST DAY (Matador) which critics described as “optimistic and sun-drenched in beauty” and “[has] experimental attitude dovetailed with instantly accessible pop melodies.” THE BEST DAY was a record defined by positivity and radical love. In 2017, Thurston Moore Group’s released a full-length album, ROCK N ROLLCONSCIOUSNESS which was recorded in The Church studios in London with producer Paul Epworth. The songs are expansive, anthemic and exploratory with lyrics that investigate and herald the love between angels, goddess mysticism and a belief in healing through new birth. His latest work from his seventh solo full-length album BY THE FIRE was described as “mesmerising” (Rolling Stone) and “Righteous” (The Independent). Released on 25 September 2020, Thurston offers songs as “flames of rainbow energy, where the power of love becomes our call. These are love songs in a time where creativity is our dignity, our demonstration against the forces of oppression.” R.AGGS is an exceptionally prolific virtuoso of euphoric post-punk, has achieved international acclaim with their collaborative projects Trash Kit, Shopping and Sacred Paws. “The music that drew me into playing electric guitar was riot grrrl and feminist punk and queercore, this music that was full of confrontation but also pride, and I needed that as a quite scrappy, shy person. I needed to create a space for myself that was empowered and strong and loud. Getting up on stage was very, very cathartic.” – Ray Aggs https://www.monocafebar.com/events/kassi-valazza monthly 0.5 2023-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1694872209454-0M511JGW7G9IFIVV8L2A/Kassi+Valazza+square.png Events - Kassi Valazza - Regular Music presents Kassi Valazza Plus special guests Kassi Valazza’s songs are reminiscent of her childhood growing up in the vast open spaces of Arizona.

With hints of bluegrass, country, and folk, the eloquent collection shares her gift for storytelling through her pristine soprano and the perspective of her unconventional path into music. “I think that the thread running through the album is those things that call to us, and how we can't resist that call,” she says. “It’s about the siren songs that come up through our lives.” Though not fully autobiographical, American Siren gracefully blends imagined characters with meaningful people she’s encountered on her journey. Showcasing her ability as a storyteller, “If Trouble Comes a Lookin’” invents a scene where a vulnerable priest and an unhappy wife meet in an Arkansas hotel bar. “Hometown Hero” is an emotional tribute to her cousin, a veteran lost to suicide. “Lost Woman’s Prayer” stems from the words of a sage friend she met while traveling abroad, while “Every Day in Faith” is a personal testament to seeing things through. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/panchiko monthly 0.5 2023-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/4557393b-6d5e-4c45-a688-dbb0b24fc6f8/345436556_902762217681889_5646423218493146088_n.jpeg Events - PANCHIKO - 432 PRESENTS Support from CJ's Mirramaze 18+ On July 21st, 2016, a user on 4chan’s /mu/ board posted a photo of a demo CD they’d discovered in an Oxfam charity store in Nottingham, UK: titled D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, purportedly released in 2000. The listener uploaded the ripped audio to file-sharing sites, and later YouTube, where it began circulating around web forums. A cult of fans banded together to solve the origin story of the mysterious disc, until eventually a long defunct local band from Nottingham who called themselves Panchiko discovered their album (limited to 30 copies) had spread virally across the internet decades later. By popular demand Panchiko reunited touring the music of D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L to sold out audiences across the US and UK in 2022 and will self-release a new LP titled Failed at Math(s) on May 5 2023 followed by an expanded US, UK and EU tour. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/jeremy-deller-art-is-magic monthly 0.5 2023-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1683651401864-2YP74HQDPG2MED9PFAHQ/art+is+magic.jpg Events - Jeremy Deller - Art Is Magic - Monorail music present… Monorail Music and The Modern Institute Present: JEREMY DELLER presents ART IS MAGIC Art Is Magic Book Launch: JEREMY DELLER in conversation with NICK ABRAHAMS DJS THURSDAY MAY 11th https://www.monocafebar.com/events/scars monthly 0.5 2023-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1682876741683-YI4OX1GB3FRTKJXK66U0/scars.jpg Events - SCARS - PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE - ALL ORIGINAL TICKETS FOR THE CCA STILL VALID. FRETS is beyond excited to announce The Scars featuring Tam Dean Burn and Port Sulphur will both be in concert at Mono, Glasgow, on Saturday 6th May, doors open at 8.30pm. The date is apt in a multitude of ways as it ties in with the White Riot tour hitting Edinburgh on 7th May 1977, when the Subway Sect and the Slits blew open the collective mind of a generation. The Scars were born in the first wave of Scotland’s punk explosion and made their mark with the cult classic debut single ‘Adult/ery’ & ‘Horrorshow’on the legendary Fast Product label. Over hundreds of live shows they developed their sound and vision, becoming a favourite of the rock press with the album ‘Author! Author!’ which is still highly regarded. Today’s lineup features three founding members, now fronted by the spectacular Tam Dean Burn, and together they accelerate from 70s glam pop to dystopian cyberfunk storytelling without a single glance in the rear view mirror. The Scars’ live show has always been a volatile, theatrical affair, and the audience at 2022’s ‘Hungry Beat’ book launch will testify that the band’s fire is undiminished! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Port Sulphur performed a sold-out concert at the CCA at the end of last year in celebration of the release of their number 1 album ‘Speed Of Life’, which was released on Creeping Bent via Last Night From Glasgow. The group performed live to a screening of Grant McPhee’s ‘Beyond The Speed Of Life’ film as part of the maxi-media event. Port Sulphur collaborated on their first album (‘Paranoic Critical’) with post-punk heroes Alan Vega (Suicide), Vic Godard (Subway Sect), Gareth Sager (The Pop Group), Davy Henderson (Fire Engines), James Kirk (Orange Juice), however their modus operandi changed with ‘Speed Of Life’, which was an instrumental album that owed more to German experimental rock music of the 1970s. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/tsushimamire monthly 0.5 2023-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1682620297474-L0VT6TE80GT14RTVE0NR/photo2.jpg Events - TsuShiMaMiRe - MONO and POP MUTATIONS PRESENT… TsuShiMaMiRe (つしまみれ, TSMMR) -Tokyo- Playing Mono, Glasgow Friday 16th June 2023 TsuShiMaMiRe are a legendary Japanese rock trio formed in 1999 featuring Mari (vocals, guitar), Yayoi (bass, bv), and Maiko (drums, bv). These girls have captivated audiences around the world for over 23 years, spanning thousands of live performances, 15 US tours, and 20 full length releases. Among many other achievements, their music has been featured on TV, film, animation, and video games. TsuShiMaMiRe’s musical style ranges from hardcore noise to introspective indie rock, with traces of heavy funk disco and pop sentimentality. Mari’s quirky lyrics question social conventions and the anxieties of everyday life,rebellion, and love. Her vocals excel in melodic expressivity, ranging from child-like wonder to tragic despair. Yayoi’s groove is like that of a vengeful banshee in the throes of passion, suddenly pivoting from the stoic determination of a samurai in battle to the elegance and light-heartedness of a Japanese house cat. Meanwhile drummer Maiko locks down a constant punk backdrop, rallying the front pair but keeping them from toppling over the edge into insanity. The ferocity of these three warrior princesses culminates in a live show that is simultaneously upliftingly theatrical and brutally honest. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/nzfnqhj2a0th498td06wmdxdq6fuuz monthly 0.5 2023-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/280ed013-810c-4441-8536-9beabe1f4024/Kimya+Dawson++GLASGOW+SQ%400.5x.jpg Events - Kimya Dawson - POP MUTATIONS present… KIMYA DAWSON Matinee and Evening.

Along the way, she contributed eight songs to the chart-topping Juno soundtrack, which brought her music to a wider audience, and made a foray into children's music.

The Bug Club’s name does a good job of introducing the band and their music: a tight-knit, collaborative effort focussed on telling tales of the everyday that we often take for granted, shot through with humour and riffs-a-plenty. Comprising the creative trio of Sam Willmett (guitar/vocals), Tilly Harris (bass/vocals) & Dan Matthew (drums), The Bug Club formed in 2016 in the little-known rock n' roll hotbed that is Caldicot, Monmouthshire. The band were signed by Bingo Records in Autumn 2020, and released their first single 'We Don’t Need Room For Lovin’ in Feb 2021. EPs ‘Launching Moondream One’ and ‘Pure Particles’ followed, along with standalone releases ‘Intelectuals’ and ‘Two Beauties’, building up to the release of debut album ‘Green Dream in F#’ by October 2022. Initially championed by BBC 6 Music’s Marc Riley, along with Adam Walton and Huw Stephens on Radio Cymru, The Bug Club have since earned the support of DJs, fellow artists and press worldwide. Sold-out tours across the UK and in Europe paved the way for a 2023 which sees the band play further afield to an ever-growing loyal fanbase, who can look forward to a number of new releases from the trio this year. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/flasher monthly 0.5 2023-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1682327118798-F4AU8CZ8I19AN6ZPXBP0/0G3A0382-HR.jpeg Events - FLASHER + NIGHTSHIFT + Pink Pound - Mono and Pop Mutations present… FLASHER Although undoubtedly, and proudly, a band that could only be native to Washington DC and its politically-engaged DIY independent culture, the songs of Flasher speak to an experience that is universal - an instantly recognisable state of being where torpor and hedonism share an equal status, one experienced at the sharp end of inter-generational equality. The band's music is a thrilling and energised response to such feelings of malaise - a layering of guitars and atmospheres, which proves that the sound of kicking the hell out is still the best response.

A self-taught musician that has committed her life to her work, she now emerges from a deeply trying and generative period with the most powerful, lustrous, and life-affirming music of her career, The Greater Wings. While they hold the plasticity of grief and trauma, the songs are universally resonant, unbridled in their devotion and joy, held up by the love and alliance of a chosen family. Byrne leans further into atmospheres both expansive and intimate; the lush, evocative songcraft flows between her signature fingerpicked guitar, synthesizer, and a newly adopted piano, made wider by flourishes of harp and strings. It is the transcendent sound of resource, of friendship that was never without romance, of loyalty that burns from within like a heart on fire, and the life force summoned in unrepeatable moments — raw, gorgeous, and wild. 18+ https://www.monocafebar.com/events/alice-faye monthly 0.5 2023-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1681917004246-F8V41XCBUL1OM8R7EHDC/230908+-+Alice+Faye++-+Crop.jpg Events - Alice Faye - 432 PRESENTS… ALICE FAYE Alice is a musician, singer/songwriter from Glasgow who plays piano, guitar and ukulele and takes inspiration from artists such as Edith Piaf, Rufus wainwright, Judy Garland and Jacques Brel!

Following the release of landmark albums ‘Scatterbrain’ (2021) and ‘Snow Bound’ (2018), the Dunedin songsmiths helmed by the enigmatic Martin Phillipps will be performing music from these new albums for the first time since their release. “This is what a living legend looks and sounds like” Rolling Stone To celebrate, and with the release of their ‘Scatterbrain: Outtakes’ exclusive 7” out 3rd February, you can now download ‘The Dragon with the Sapphire Eyes’ for free via Bandcamp. This limited edition 7” features three brand new tracks that didn’t make the ‘Scatterbrain’ final cut - it includes ‘No One Knows Better Than Me’ and ‘Nowhere’. “We felt these were too good not to be released and were actually the first three songs we wrote for ‘Scatterbrain’ before it’s lyrical tone and musical direction became established. It was important to us to offer fans something special on the tour” Martin Phillipps A mature and honest reflection on life, destiny and the fate of our times delivered in beautiful melodies from one of today’s great modern songwriters. Phillipps’ trademarked incisive turn of phrase, is pure pop music viewed from the perspective of a man understanding his own mortality. “It’s about artistic integrity, self-realisation, self- acceptance and a reflection on mortality.” The Guardian Hot off their recent US tour, The Chills tour Australia first before heading to the UK and Europe this summer.

Monorail presents… Is there a curse that says Brian ‘BC Camplight’ Christinzio cannot move forward without being knocked back? That the greatest material is born out of emotional trauma? Whilst making his new album The Last Rotation Of Earth, Christinzio’s relationship with his fiancé crumbled after nine inseparable years. The album follows this break-up amid long-term struggles with addiction and declining mental health. The outcome is an extraordinary record, with Christinzio describing it as “more cinematic, sophisticated, and nuanced than anything I’ve done before. And more desperate”. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/cloth-in-store monthly 0.5 2023-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1680705006227-390YFV7O5IBPML4WB4MY/cloth.jpg Events - Cloth - MONORAIL PRESENTS… Join us and Cloth on Friday 5th May at Mono to celebrate the release of their new album, Secret Measure.

Finally, after a decade of work, countless interviews and immersing deep into the culture, John Robb’s definitive book is a journey deep into The Art Of Darkness. The first in-depth book on Goth is a deep dive into the enduring culture and the social, historical and political backdrop that created the space for the art of darkness to thrive. Every generation has got to deal with the blues – embrace the melancholy! Find a beauty in the darkness, a poetry in sex and death! Whether it’s the Roman love of ghost stories, middle ages European macabre folk tales, Romantic poets or the original Gothic tribes sacking the eternal city, a walk on the dark side had always had its attractions. In the post-punk period Generation Xerox saw music, clothes and culture come together to create one of the most enduring pop cultures of them all that still resonates to this day. Goth. It may have been a retrospective term for a scene that was already thriving but its back story goes back millennia… https://www.monocafebar.com/events/cindy monthly 0.5 2023-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1680176807991-U5CXEI7Q5QIMPO17PIOE/e5b533ea46f32c9ad2.jpg Events - CINDY - POP MUTATIONS PRESENTS… Cindy + J Mahon + Simone Antigone Saturday 29th April Mono Advance tickets available at https://www.citizenticket.co.uk/events/pop-mutations/ Cindy is a band built around the singing and guitar playing of Karina Gill that she self-nurtured after finding an abandoned Squier Strat in her San Francisco apartment basement. Her intrigue soon grew into the band that is Cindy who have found a worldwide following of their slow-moving, dream-pop world that shrouds Gill’s songs thanks to support from model independent labels Mt. St. Mtn. [USA] and Tough Love Records [UK]. + “Everyone’s hoping that nobody sees/all our little efforts at dignity” This last line of the title track from Cindy’s fourth LP Why Not Now? works as a slogan for Karina Gill's evolving musical vision. Her music is simple out of necessity and introverted in delivery, but the songs contain vivid worlds and are quietly ambitious. With this latest batch, Gill pulled the process of making Cindy music even more inward. “Some of these songs were first recorded as demos alone in my basement. I think that process set the tone for the record...Maybe it set up a kind of starkness,” she says. Moving on from the fixed quartet that performed the first three albums, Gill worked alongside original keyboardist Aaron Diko to develop the songs and they enlisted players from the ever-blossoming SF pop scene to realise her minimalist vision - members of Flowertown, Telephone Numbers, April Magazine, Famous Mammals, and Sad Eyed Beatniks to name a few. The collective sounds fill out the record perfectly with John Cale-esque viola on ‘August’, lo-fi fairground organs, and a tasteful full-band sound that crops up throughout. ‘A Trumpet on a Hillside’ is the most triumphant Cindy has ever sounded, all ascending chords and a wedding march melody tumbling out of an old synth. Still, some of the best moments are Gill alone, as on ‘Playboy’, just naked guitar and voice, and when the forlorn whistling solo kicks in, it feels like the loneliest star is imploding in a distant galaxy. While the dream-pop tag is probably still relevant, this isn’t algorithm-fed genre ambience. Gill’s vocal/lyrical presence can be as gently momentous as Leonard Cohen or as intellectually potent as any ’79-’80 Rough Trade post-punk. “In writing a song”, Gill says, ”all the disparate parts of being me momentarily correspond, like car alarms and party music momentarily matching beats.” Cindy’s Why Not Now? is that muffled street symphony inside a passing daydream. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/the-lyin-king monthly 0.5 2023-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1678468495574-24HTLBUZRUJ1W237UBBC/lyin%27+king+square.jpeg Events - THE LYIN' KING - It's the year of the King and someone's getting crowned, but we have the perfect remedy for all that pomp and ceremony that will be shoved down your throat!

Bedroom was hailed as “a heady, forward-thinking shoe gaze distillation” by Clash magazine, the Guardian proclaimed “one of the underground hits of lockdown”, while NME awarded the album five solid stars and called Bedroom nothing less than “a modern day shoe gaze classic.” Now signed to Mogwai’s Rock Action Records, the band return with I Don’t Know, complete with their trademark effects-laden guitars and motorik Neu! grooves but now with added piano, strings, electronica, sampling and the occasional dance beat.

They were the cool kids at school that circled the wagons, the Heathers that formed their own personal mythology and expanded on their universe via absolutely killer 7”s and a singular album, Maid To Minx. During an incredibly febrile time in Glasgow’s music history they were unique, a riot in dual guitars and barked criss-cross vocals. All-female groups are slightly more in evidence now but at the time, in the mid-90s, even amongst their right-on peers they were an anomaly. Their chromosomes aside, Lung Leg were gloriously acerbic, a catchy mess informed by but apart from the likes of Sleater Kinney, Slant 6. Stylistically their documentarian lyrics recalled early solo Lou Reed over a scratched out guitar attach that’s more redolent of the likes of Scars or Joseph K. As well as being impossible, intimidatingly cool they were also a ton-load of fun. Their songs were soaked in hedonistic tales of Glasgow nights out, living life on the central Scottish edge between the dole and the pub, the music pumped full of adrenalin and 60s Garage influences. Loosely tied with the group The Yummy Fur (not least by the fact that Lunglegger Jane Doe’s brother helmed that group), Lungleg had the air of a gang, a motorcycle clique in a climate too cold for motorcycles. By the time of their only album Maid To Minx, they’d grown from treble-crazed punks to slightly less treble-crazed punks with the songs to prove it. The guitars had grown together to present an obtuse take on the axe, with dual attacks, chiming drones, crunchy chords spiked with Nuggets-y riffs. Seriously, if you tune your mind into just the guitars you’ll be doing mental somersaults. But you’d also be missing the vocal interplay, call-and-response work, lyrics that read like surrealist, grimy narratives that could have been written and painted by the Hernandez brothers if they lived in Woodlands (funny I should mention the Hernandez brothers asJaime Hernandez painted the cover). You could point to precedents like Kleenex, Chin Chin, Television (if you played Marquee Moon at 40RPM say - not sure how you’d do this but 45RPM seems a bit too fast?) but Lung Leg were their own impossibly cool gang. At the turn of the century Lung Leg imploded, scattering their component members to different parts of the country or to other groups. Glasgow in the mid to late 90s was, in retrospect, a goldmine of groups who all started at the same time and went on their own distinct paths to success or cult-like obscurity. Lung Leg’s place in this history is damn important and it’s great that Past Night From Glasgow have resurrected their debut album Maid To Minx for reissue. What’s even better is the group have reformed for the occasion and we’re really excited to host the group’s triumphant return for a free matinee show on December 10th at 4pm to terrorize the kids. Only kidding, this will be maximum family fun, just bring the ear defenders. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/jarrod-dickenson monthly 0.5 2023-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1669132427937-BWJF8269PE1MJKM2H7D0/JARRODNEWPRESS.jpg Events - Jarrod Dickenson - 432 PRESENTS… Tickets available on 21st Nov at 10am. If Jarrod Dickenson’s third studio album, BIG TALK sounds like a mighty roar of defiance, that’s not a design choice or a marketing decision. The big Texan is settling scores all over town and he means every f*cking word. It’s been something of a journey for Dickenson in the years since his last album, Ready the Horses drew the appreciation of listeners, press and radio alike and yielded invitations to tour with such legendary figures as Bonnie Raitt and Don McLean. Q Magazine noted how “…his songs carry an independent spirit and grit… a hard-bitten, yet romantic eye that seems bred into Lone Star Songwriters”, while American Songwriter observed that “…his deep, emotional, often luxurious voice envelops songs of love and loss, enticing you into these stories.” Uncut came right out and called him “a smokey-toned Texan with a smooth line in Country-Soul...” and on the evidence of the album’s more mellifluous moments, it would be hard to disagree with this snapshot of Dickenson as something akin to the Otis Redding of Americana, a Sinatra of The South. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/suol4wl7rfdwm848dt04rtatkoueaf monthly 0.5 2023-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1668617905559-6JNBD3OZV38VQDRJXYKV/230516+-+The+Golden+Dregs+-+Crop.jpg Events - the GOLDEN DREGS - 432 PRESENTS… The Golden Dregs might be on the project of just one man, Benjamin Woods, but beyond that it’s a lot of different things. “It’s adopted the guise of a bar-band, a lonely man with a piano, a singer with a backing band, and an awkward and insecure karaoke performance,” says Woods. “I think of The Golden Dregs as a project as opposed to a group or a person. It’s a platform for me to explore different musical avenues.” It makes sense that The Golden Dregs, which is led by the rich baritone croon and Americana-tinged tones (think Stephin Merritt of Magnetic Fields collaborating with David Berman of Silver Jews with Dan Michaelson making the brews) of Woods, would encompass so many things after a period of such instability and movement for him. Cornwall, Manchester, Cornwall, Germany, back to Cornwall and then onto London. Woods has spent the last several years ricocheting from place-to-place, shifting from a cockroach-infested place in Manchester to a failed relocation to Germany that resulted in him having to temporarily move back in with his parents - all the while searching for a place of stability to make his second album after 2018’s Lafayette. Yet for someone who has been such an itinerant in recent years, Woods has made a record with a distinct and coherent personality that radiates the feeling of someone who has finally found where they need to be and where they want to go. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/start-to-end-give-up-by-the-postal-service monthly 0.5 2022-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1668510968950-IO0WX3IG5K0EKJJHR96N/Start+to+End+-+The+Postal+Service+-+Instagram-Portrait.png Events - Start To End: Give Up by The Postal Service - REGULAR MUSIC PRESENTS… Start To End: Give Up by The Postal Service A live band’s interpretation of The Postal Service’s classic 2003 album ‘Give Up’, played in full by Start to End, featuring some of Scotland’s leading young musicians.

With special guests Ganger, Lugworm, J. Mellis Hairweave Quartet, Subliminal Girls + Salty Cellar DJ’s Annie and Marc. 8pm doors, no ticket required! The Inner Circle is an introduction to the work of talented photographer Graham Gavin. This joyous selection of images reveals tight-knit and interlinked circles of young creatives in the distant Glasgow of the 1990s. A world of dole queue courses and signing-on, dog-eared flats and elegant terraces. A world of bands and line-ups and pulsating, energised music venues. Artists, photographers, DJs, industry fixers. A world of cafes, alleyways and parks. Of subway and markets, of posing and watching. A way of ‘being’ that we’ll all recognise, and wish for a moment that we’d been there. Perhaps you were. The photographs in this book are fresh, natural, life-affirming, warm. Everything that’s best in the city. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/exhibition-sensory-souvenirs monthly 0.5 2022-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1668123030002-33FY85549TYV5UFE71R8/Sensory+Souvenirs+poster.jpg Events - Exhibition: Sensory Souvenirs - Sensory Souvenirs A memory lane through France and Scotland, by Audrey Bizouerne 17th November-31st December Audrey Bizouerne’s second show evokes memories of her childhood in the French countryside and her time spent working as a musician in Glasgow, using photographs to recreate the sensory imprints that her experiences have left behind. The images on the first wall articulate the idea of 'Madeleines de Proust' - impressions of sound, smell, taste, colour and texture that recall latent emotional memories. Lost feelings from childhood and early adulthood return in new forms: barley scratching against skin in the summer heat, the taste of wine drunk late at night, dreams of driving a Vespa bike through the city or spending long days on the beach. During her last summer trip to France this year she used expired colour film to recall these memories, appropriating their faded feel to capture a woozy sense of nostalgia. The second wall shows a panel of photographs taken for musicians in and around Glasgow since late 2015. After moving to Scotland, Audrey's work as a musician and a photographer increasingly began to overlap, and she took every opportunity to create photo-portraits of the people she met through collaborations and gigs. The images work together to characterise the Glasgow music scene, offering a time capsule of this seven-year period in the life of the city. Biography Audrey Bizouerne is a Glasgow-based artist working in photography and music. She started her regular photographic practice during the pandemic after twenty years of working in the creative industries as a musician. She is now studying for a degree in photography at City of Glasgow College. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/bleed-from-within-shrine-release-party monthly 0.5 2022-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1666188774989-F0BDFVA4QIHFUBUCQH3O/BFW-RELEASE-EVENT.jpg Events - Bleed From Within - Shrine Release Party - Join us as we celebrate the release of Shrine in our hometown of Glasgow! 2022 has been a whirlwind year for us so far.

Born the son of Scotland’s last telescope-maker, Stuart Braithwaite was perhaps always destined for a life of psychedelic adventuring on the furthest frontiers of noise in MOGWAI, one of the best loved and most groundbreaking post-rock bands of the past three decades. Modestly delinquent at school, Stuart developed an early appetite for ‘alternative’ music in what might arguably be described as its halcyon days, the late 80s. Discovering bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and Jesus and Mary Chain, and attending seminal gigs (often incongruously incognito as a young girl with long hair to compensate for his babyface features) by The Cure and Nirvana, Stuart compensated for his indifference to school work with a dedication to rock and roll … and of course the fledgling hedonism that comes with it. After an initial outing in the unfortunately (and provocatively named), Pregnant Nun, Stuart – alongside teenage friends Dominic Aitchison and Martin Bulloch – upgrades the band name to MOGWAI. They release their first single ‘Tuner/Lower’ in 1996. Championed by the legendary John Peel, and making a name for themselves for tinnitus-inducing live shows, MOGWAI’S subsequent single ‘Summer’ is named Single of the Week in NME. Their first album, Mogwai Young Team, follows to significant critical acclaim. Spaceships Over Glasgow is a lovesong to live rock and roll; to the passionate abandon we’ve all felt in the crowd (and some of us, if lucky enough, from the stage) at a truly incendiary rock and roll show. It is also the story of a life lived on the edge; of the high-times and hazardous pit-stops of international touring with a band of misfits and miscreants. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/tim-burgess-in-store monthly 0.5 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1655509263594-4LRNB6U1VYG97Q3N2GLM/TIMB_1_27_hi.jpeg Events - TIM BURGESS IN-STORE - Monorail presents… ‘Tim’s listening party live w/ special guests’ To celebrate the release of his new album ‘Typical Music’ (out September 23rd via Bella Union), Tim Burgess is taking his popular Twitter Listening Parties to record shops across the countries, sharing stories, new music and signing records.

Bursting out of the SF Bay Area’s fertile indie scene, The Umbrellas come correct with a sound that fits snugly into a long line of classic pop, from The Byrds to Orange Juice, The Pastels, Comet Gain, Veronica Falls and Belle & Sebastian, along with a noticeable garage-pop/Paisley Underground flavour that is a hallmark of San Francisco’s best bands. Their self-titled 2021 debut album dazzled with a dozen perfect pop tunes, charming the indiepop faithful but also winning fans outside the scene, leading to sold-out tours with bands as disparate as Ceremony and Destroy Boys.” (—Mike Schulman) New Releases – ‘Write it in the Sky’ 7″ released via Slumberland, Meritorio, Tear Jerk, and Fastcut records. SEABLITE - Glasgow debut! Seablite is a four-piece pop band from San Francisco inspired by 80s/90s indie and shoegaze. In June 2019, Seablite’s LP debut, Grass Stains and Novocaine was released by Emotional Response, garnering domestic and international praise. They’ve since released a 10″ EP, High-Rise Mannequins (2020) and most recently their new single, Breadcrumbs c/w Ink Bleeds (2022). Seablite are back in the studio recording their sophomore LP and looking forward to what the upcoming year will bring. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/big-joanie monthly 0.5 2022-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1658918932942-V1OX7U0KLLEMYGZ3G4X8/b816a110_BigJoanie2+Credit+Sam+Keeler.jpeg Events - BIG JOANIE - POP MUTATIONS PRESENT… Championed by Thurston Moore, 6Music, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan, Big Joanie are a London-based Black feminist punk band who combine the melodic pop of sixties girl groups with the fury of nineties riot grrrl and post punk.

After the haunting raptures of Architect (2015), the Twilight Zone-inspired reveries of The Midnight Sun (2016) and the richly melodic Health (2019), Alluvium is a sublime palate-refresher for Duncan (C for Christopher), brimming with revitalised fluency: a warming dispatch from the daylight zone. Alluvium breaks open, a new dawn of harmony and sweeping string synths blossoming in. Duncan's vocal is centre stage, a soothing croon whirling softly and unabashed to ache into his upper registers. Immaculate sounding, Alluvium is cushioned with a sublime production that is as rich in harmony and texture as a modern update to a Beach Boys production. A track like Heaven bounces along with a Martyn Ware-style mid 80s production (is Heaven a nod to the producers' band?), it's stirring and flawless. C Duncan is nothing if not diverse in his musical talents and ambitions. In other points on Alluvium we're reminded of a kind of aching nostalgia, with some tracks sounding like Panda Bear dosed in maple syrup, with Duncan's voice, maturing like a fine wine taking the helm. While varied in its moods, it's an album that's elegant in its richness and not afraid to be bathed in positivity, with a kind of new dawn, staying-up-til-dawn ecstasy suggested liberally by Duncan's virtuoso musicianship. C Duncan will be performing LIVE in Mono for our In-Store launch of Alluvium.

Sheffield four-piece Sister Wives tell wild tales that flit between Welsh and English language, sung over cavernous melodies and hypnotic beats. Their post-punk, prog-flecked psychedelia rumbles deep inside your soul and shames all those who deserve it. Sister Wives have just signed to Libertino Records and recently released a split single with labelmates Tacsidermi, with their first full-length album coming later this year. This follows debut EP, Gweler Ein Gofid (recently re-released on vinyl with three new remixes from Gnoomes, Ani Glass and Mandy, Indiana) and 2020’s Crags AA-single. The notions of protection, ancient ritual and female power are of great interest to Sister Wives. They explain, "Many of our lyrics look into summoning the consciousness of the land in times of despair; calling upon the ancient gods that live in the rocks, woods, lakes, seas and trees, and exploring spiritual suspicions and witchcraft.” Sister Wives have previously been invited to support Gwenno, The International Teachers of Pop, Crack Cloud, The Eccentronic Research Council, Current Affairs, Kaputt, and Flasher, and get regular play on BBC 6Music, BBC Wales and BBC Cymru. They’ve played Green Man Festival, SWN Festival, Sensoria Festival, FOCUS Wales, Launchpad Festival and have more headline dates coming up including an Oct tour. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/pop-mutations-2022 monthly 0.5 2022-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1657810692386-UCH5QIJWNZNTDFFAI6AW/a-z+line+up.jpg Events - POP MUTATIONS 2022 - POP MUTATIONS PRESENTS POP MUTATIONS 2022 | 13-16 OCTOBER 2022 We’re thrilled to announce the inaugural IRL Pop Mutations Festival across multiple venues, from 13th-16th October.

The narrator joins one such outfit, “Le Tex” and feels a sense of belonging and momentum, movement beyond what was previously a stable, predictable life. A relationship with a bandmate materializes. Eventually, the group start to write originals. They generate goodwill and momentum, and venture out on the open road seeking new opportunities beyond what the satin district can of er. But the vibrational energy that got things moving is the same that shakes the whole thing apart: the relationship, and the band, disintegrate upon finally reaching their destination, the end of the road. The chain-stitcher heads back to the city, settling back into the rhythm of work, old standards and a familiar place. The story is self-referential on purpose: it speaks to the absurdity of ego, codependency and shared visions even as it celebrates them. The Jacket finds Widowspeak navigating these contradictions, and although its ten tracks now trace a more abstract arc than the campier initial concept, strands of that earlier narrative remain: “stitches in satin”, American cities after dark, glimpses of the open road, dark bars, and backstages where things get left behind. The resulting album is a wizened meditation on performance and past lives from a band who’ve seen their fair share, hitting their stride now over a decade in. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/stuart-moxham monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/4a033c0f-c82d-4909-b947-757386386c5d/Moi+Live+YMG.jpeg Events - STUART MOXHAM - POP MUTATIONS PRESENTS… Stuart was the main songwriter and guitar/keyboard player in Young Marble Giants '78-80 and followed that with an experimental studio project called The G!st,' 81-85, both on Rough Trade Records.

We’re very proud to be hosting the launch of the book on August 25th at Mono. Cosey will be in conversation with JD Twitch (Optimo) who will also be playing a DJ set. From the acclaimed author of Art Sex Music comes a vital meditation on womanhood, creativity, and self-expression, and a revelatory exploration into the lives of three visionary artists. Re-sisters is the story of three women consumed by their passion for life, a passion they expressed through music, art and lifestyle — their recordings. In 2018, boundary-breaking visual and sonic artist Cosey Fanni Tutti received a commission to write the soundtrack to a film about Delia Derbyshire, the pioneering electronic composer who influenced the likes of Aphex Twin and The Chemical Brothers. While researching Derbyshire’s life, Tutti became immersed in her story and uncovered fascinating parallels with her own life. At the same time, Tutti began reading about Margery Kempe, the fifteenth-century mystic visionary who wrote the first English-language autobiography. The connections between the three women soon shifted into focus. Each lived on the fringes of a world dictated by patriarchal forces; each relentlessly pursued the expansion and enrichment of their life through their creative work. Undaunted by the consequences they faced and unwilling to conform to the societal and cultural norms of their time, they are united by an unwavering commitment to their sense of self. Musician and artist Cosey Fanni Tutti has continually challenged boundaries and conventions for four decades. As a founding member of the hugely influential avant-garde band Throbbing Gristle, as one half of electronic pioneers Chris and Cosey, and as an artist channelling her experience in pornographic modelling and striptease, her work on the margins has come to reshape the mainstream. Her first book, Art Sex Music, was a Sunday Times, Telegraph, Rough Trade, Pitchfork and Uncut Book of the Year, and was shortlisted for the Penderyn Music Book Prize. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/slaughter-beach-dog monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1655815749099-CP3O3QIOIFR5BLVNRMTJ/SLAUGHTER+BEACH.jpeg Events - SLAUGHTER BEACH, DOG - 432 PRESENTS… "At the Moonbase, the fourth full-length album from Slaughter Beach, Dog, is a return to form for Philadelphia bandleader Jake Ewald. Written and recorded alone at home and at The Metal Shop, Ewald’s East Kensington recording studio, the album tracks an exercise in solitary production not unlike Slaughter Beach, Dog’s 2016 debut Welcome or 2017’s Motorcycle.JPG. On the heels of 2019’s Safe and Also No Fear, Ewald’s latest offering brings expanded arrangements and sharpened storytelling as he taps into salad days over slacker rock (“Do You Understand”), the dark grooves of seedy city life (“Song for Oscars”), and even a barroom-piano-driven “escapade through the great American bedroom” (“A Modern Lay”). At the Moonbase arrives December 24th on Lame-O Records." https://www.monocafebar.com/events/katy-j-pearson monthly 0.5 2022-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1655815525096-YMR0Y1GXK8M4VVXPX426/katy+j+.jpeg Events - KATY J PEARSON - 432 PRESENTS Katy J Pearson would like you to know that she is not a country singer. Sure, there was an influence of the genre to the now-26-year-old’s celebrated debut ‘Return’ – an album that saw Pearson snowball from Bristolian newcomer to a critically-acclaimed breakthrough star, selling out shows up and down the UK – but there’s also much, much more to her magnetic blend of soaring, widescreen melodies and warm, intimate storytelling than just three chords and the truth. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/lloydshouse monthly 0.5 2022-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1657810207676-6HWRYB8EA6I6SDE1DTKB/lloyd.jpg Events - LLOYD’S HOUSE - SINGLE LAUNCH - POP MUTATIONS PRESENTS… Lloyd’s House Single Launch! with support from Junk Pups and more to be announced. 18+ Doors 8pm Lloyd's House is the eccentric pop brainchild of solo artist Lloyd Ledingham. After releasing January’s ‘We Could Be Friends’ EP on Corkscrew Records to critical acclaim, Lloyd’s House continues to develop their sound into that of an experimental pop prowess built on melodic bass guitar, soulful drums, heart wrenching synth and lilted yet bittersweet vocals. Taking influence from artists like Perfume Genius, Alex G and Porches, Lloyd's House has found their niche in Scotland's pop & alt-pop scene after releasing December 2021's debut self-titled album. Lloyd's House's next single, 'Heather,' comes out on the 26th of August 2022. This track takes a new direction, ebbing and flowing between the lines of heavy-hitting vocals and soft, intricate breakdowns. Playing their first show as a headline in November of last year to embarking on their first UK tour less than a year later, Lloyd's House finds its place on many musical streets, but has a room for everyone. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/n9ybm5v5fdewn65v1ky0vj25t5hkp1 monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1655758405035-K8RU1XKVE034VU0XHJ4Q/CURTAIN+UP.jpeg Events - CURTAIN UP - CURTAIN UP With Lola Fierce! https://www.monocafebar.com/events/love monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1655757590632-ROPWDP7H2ZTPDZDGQOTH/Crop.jpeg Events - LOVE FEAT. johnny echols - 432 PRESENTS… LOVE with Johnny Echols LOVE with Johnny Echols make a return visit to the UK after their sell-out tour of 2019 to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the release of Forever Changes.

Broken Equipment is BODEGA’s attempt to interrogate the external factors that make them who they are, propelling existential quandaries with tongue-in-cheek humour, highly personal lyrics, and irresistible grooves. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/00yo7mh5pmjs9yeqyq145nokgwz79b monthly 0.5 2022-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1644771545980-WFQ6O5CE9D1F3RTNYG06/the-weather-station-1804096336-300x300.jpeg Events - THE WEATHER STATION - 432 PRESENTS “Most people are afraid of the dark...Many adults fear, above all, the darkness that is the unknown, the unseeable, the obscure. And yet the night in which distinctions and definitions cannot be readily made is the same night in which love is made, in which things merge, change, become enchanted, aroused, impregnated, possessed, released, renewed.” - Rebecca Solnit Ignorance, the new album by the The Weather Station, begins enigmatically; a hissing hi hat, a stuttering drum beat. A full minute passes before the entry of Tamara Lindeman’s voice, gentle, conversational, intoning; “I never believed in the robber”. A jagged music builds, with stabbing strings, saxophone, and several layers of percussion, and the song undulates through five minutes of growing tension, seesawing between just two chords. Once again, Toronto songwriter Tamara Lindeman has remade what The Weather Station sounds like; once again, she has used the occasion of a new record to create a new sonic landscape, tailor-made to express an emotional idea. Ignorance, Lindeman’s debut for Mississippi label Fat Possum Records, is sensuous, ravishing, as hi fi a record as Lindeman has ever made, breaking into pure pop at moments, at others a dense wilderness of notes; a deeply rhythmic, deeply painful record that feels more urgent, more clear than her work ever has. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/16q4q4c7oka4o0n3b3oe5cg7s0uujk monthly 0.5 2022-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/b42a2f03-3991-4545-a6fd-52e1b6ca62bd/oott.jpeg Events - MONO 20 - ORDER OF THE TOAD - MONO is celebrating 20 years of good times!

Settling into a system of programming, looping and layering, the alchemy between the two created a base from which to build their complex and ever expanding narrative world. “Ryan is a vibe guy, whereas I overthink everything,” laughs Smith. “It’s been the greatest creative partnership I’ve ever had. When you find a groove that works, it just kind of looks after itself.” With just three hometown shows under their belt, world events intervened. But rather than letting the pandemic derail them Yard Act set up their own imprint, Zen F.C. and across the course of 2020 and into early 2021 released four increasingly coruscating, hilariously dark singles. Now expanded to a four-piece, joined by Sam Shjipstone (guitar) and Jay Russell (drums), they’ve announced their debut album “The Overload”, set for release on 7th January 2022. Their inherent wit has been sharpened down into something that speaks to the times we live in, creating a statement of intent that survives on nuance, that manages to poke fun at society without punching down from a place of left-wing superiority or right-wing anger. The Overload is a political record, but in the same way that all great observations of human nature are – a messy, complex, knowingly hypocritical snapshot of our current state of play. https://www.monocafebar.com/events/mono-20 monthly 0.5 2022-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e543a1defd334d33646fee/1644685769203-NDDMXF91U3GXUVXE4EN9/MONO20_USHIGHBALL_FEB2022_FINAL.jpeg Events - MONO 20 - u.s. highball - MONO is celebrating 20 years of good times!
