Event information

After several previous sell out gigs at The Ivy House, The Monochrome Set return to the venue for anoher gig which is sure to go the same way.
Featuring original Monochrome Set members Bid (Guitar/Vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with John Paul Moran (keyboards) and Mike Urban, who was previously in the band in the early 90s, 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, their album release count now being well into double figures.
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 five new, critically acclaimed, studio albums, the most recent, ‘Maisieworld’, on the German ‘Tapete’ label in February this year.
2018 sees the 40th year since the band formed and they will be gigging worldwide to celebrate this.

The Fallen Leaves

The Fallen Leaves are a British garage rock group that formed in Richmond, London in 2004. The group was formed by guitarist Rob Symmons from Subway Sect and vocalist Rob Green now with Brett "Buddy" Ascott from the Chords on drums and bassist Matthew Karas. Purveyors of pop played with passion rather than precision, the Fallen Leaves are very much based around Rob Symmons' distinctive discordant, stinging guitar sound as well as Rob Green's vocal style, reminiscent of Italian-American crooners such as Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. The Fallen Leaves hark back to DIY punk days and classic British beat such as The Who, Kinks, and Rolling Stones have been cited as influences, as well as The Pretty Things, The Outsiders and the Downliners Sect.
