Mono

Overview

Mono are coming. No, I'm not referring to the kissing disease here; I mean the Japanese post-rock legends Mono. Duh.

The band are in the country to perform at Hobart's DARK MOFO festival but were kind enough to arrange a few sideshows for their adoring Australian fans. The band have been performing and releasing material since the early 2000s, and their career has risen in profile every year.

Their latest effort, For My Parents, was released in 2012, so their performance will surely contain a set list of new material as well as numerous soaring epics from previous albums.

The band will be heading up and down the east coast to play shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane before jetting off into the sunset. I can't emphasise how important it is that you get a ticket; these guys might not be back for a while.

Curious about what the band sounds like? Have a listen to this 15-minute epic, 'Yearning'.
