Mono

Overview

With Parklife having been and gone, you’d think Brisbane would be sick of dance music festivals (and the things that go with it – over-roided male shirtlessness, denim underwear, enough fake tan to orange the entire world thrice) by now. Sadly it is not, and Parklife was just the beginning. Every day we’re shuffling, apparently.

Surprisingly, not everyone loves dance music as much as these festival fiends would have us believe. South of the Riverstage there’s a little bit of musical love that doesn’t go at 180bpm, and instead rolls along the gentler post-rock line. Who is this act, you may ask, and do they know that they’re in Brisbane? The answers to those questions are: Mono, and probably not. The Japanese four piece will be taking to the Hi-Fi this Wednesday, and it might be one of the only gigs for the rest of the year sans bros and overpriced drinks (just kidding, it’s a joke! It’s just that it’s festival season, and festivals suck 99% of the time. But Mono rule).
