$20/15Melbourne indie lifers Monnone Alone return to Canberra on Friday, March 27 for a late-show at Smith’s with Vanishing Sound and Cameron Emerson-Elliott.
Monnone Alone is a confoundingly misnomered four-piece powerpop powerhouse comprising members of Melbourne icons Mid-State Orange, The Smallgoods and Ciggie Witch all cunningly pieced together by former-Lucksmiths bass fella Mark Monnone. On their fourth long-player Here Comes the Afternoon, the band tweak their Madchester potentiometer and fade some gentle psychedelia into the mix on songs about fish ponds, teenage hairstyles and calcified brain lesions. Unapologetically janky ’n’ jangly—far-out yet familiar—a night out with this fine foursome will leave you questioning how you ever ended up in this predicament, while at the same time asking “when can we do it again?”
Vanishing Sound collects various Canberran stalwarts from bands such as Earache, Dog Name and New Age Group in an expansive guitar-pop unit which spans the gamut of Nick Drake-inspired folk tunings to Sonic Youth-esque guitar squall. As ever, the band continue on their winding path into the fringes of folk and noise rock and back again, via an underlying, unshakable pop sensibility.
Opening the night will be Cameron Emerson-Elliott from such fine bands as Victoria and Youth Group.
