This four-piece Japanese band are known for their sweeping orchestral music combined with incredible guitar moments. With over 20 years in the industry, Mono have created their own unique style in the world of music, which they brought to Rescue Rooms at the end of May...
The opening act GGGOLLD who hail from the Netherlands set a fantastic vibe for the evening's events. There is a great and ethereal feel to their songs, with incredible deep instrumentals and powerful drums.
Lead singer Milena has a haunting beautiful voice and fantastic ending song solo by the lead singer to round off an intriguing opening act. It would be easy to put comparisons towards Florence + The Machine but that would not do this band justice. They are definitely ones to look out for in the future.
Mono are a four-piece band based in Japan, known for their sweeping orchestral music combined with incredible guitar moments. With over twenty years in the industry, Mono have created their own unique style in the world of music.
The music was solely instrumental for the set but what it lacked in words it makes up with powerful instrumentals that felt like a journey of you and a soundtrack to this moment in your life.
The crowd was enraptured in the at-some-times biblical sounds swirling into an orchestral maelstrom being controlled and cast out to them by this seasoned band. This was a pro performance of a well oiled machine. They blew everyone away, said their thank yous, and for the encore decided to blast the audience into oblivion.
The two guitars were very prominent in all the songs and the duelling was incredible to behold, as the instrumentals built with each song. This music is a mix of cinematic, apocalyptic and monumental. Words cant do it justice, so go and download their albums, put on some headphones and have an epic soundtrack to your day.
Mono performed at Rescue Rooms on 31 May 2023.
