Doors 7:30pm\n\nThe Monochrome Set return to The Con Club to p romote their new album Marc Riley Sessions from 2011 to 2022. The band fea tures original Monochrome Set members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with Athen Ayren on keyboards and Stephen Gilchrist on drums.\nThe Monochrome Set formed in 1978\, and were heavily influential in the post-p unk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The band' s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing wi th Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cher ry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that label's well-known Pill ows and Prayers compilation.\nThough The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio rec ordings. 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 seven new\, critically acclaimed\, studio albums. No w in their 46th year\, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting t heir latest album and playing songs old and new.\n\nTigers &\; Flies po unce forth with noodling guitars providing the punctual counterpoint to sl ick serenades of Manchester life. Splashes of cowbell and trumpet renders Tigers &\; Flies as an eclectic and energetic band that land somewhere between XTC\, in their bombastic approach to songwriting\, and Yowl\, in t heir ability to write just really good indie songs. With the aforementione d in mind\, Tigers &\; Flies' sound will catch you\, draw you in and co nvince you that all the buzz is worth the while.\n\n\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2024/04/Monochrome2024b.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240331T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
