The Monochrome Set are delighted to return to Ramsgate Music Hall
after their sell out show in 2024
The band features 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 eight, new, critically acclaimed, studio albums.
Now in their 48th year, they are beginning a new series of gigs
promoting their new album and playing songs from throughout that time.
