The Monochrome Set
A very special gig from one of the most important and
influential bands to emerge from the post punk scene in the late 70s.
The Monochrome Set was formed in 1978 by vocalist Ganesh 'Bid' Seshadri
and guitarist Lester Square when art rock band The B-Sides split ( whose
name-changing bassist Stuart Goddard formed Adam & The Ants).
With a whimsical pop sensibility, clever lyrics and an idiosyncratic,
retrogressive guitar-led sound, they bridged the gap between freak beat and
post punk and effectively paved the way for groups such as The Smiths.
Influencing a whole family tree of bands from Orange Juice and Fire
Engines to The Divine Comedy,
Graham Coxon and Franz Ferdinand, The
Monochrome Set are back, with original members Bid and
