The Monochrome Set

The Monochrome Set are a British post-punk/new wave band originally formed in London in 1978 . Featuring original members Bid (Guitar/Vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with Mike Urban, who was previously in the band in the early 90s, on drums and, newest recruit, Athen Ayren on keyboards. They 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 seven new, critically acclaimed, studio albums. Now in their 43rd year, they are promoting their latest album, playing songs old and new.

Derek Jarman’s Jubilee on the Jubilee. What more do I need to say really? But I will!! Made in 1978 Jubilee is a hand grenade of a punk film. Queen Elizabeth the first travels into the future conjured up by her occult aide. Encountering the megalomania of big business as well as a gang of violent marauding killers. Derek Jarman doesn’t spare the shocks, while electrifying punk rock numbers are delivered by a select few. Jubilee is punk, savage, post-apocalyptic street theatre- and great fun!!!!!!!
