olyclimber Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 opening for Mono : Mono are a four-piece instrumental post-rock band from Tokyo. Their names are Tamaki, Taka Goto, Yoda, and Yasunori Takada. They are on a two-month U.S. tour in support their release You Are There. In Japan, their four lauded releases in five years have made them influential and acclaimed. Their performances have turned them into a band that needs to be seen and heard. The post part of their post-rock is wielded with two sides: one, a sledgehammer, and the other, a paint brush. With sheer and massive volume, they put their sledgehammer through the ice of a frozen lake. Overhead, they war with a pterodactyl, and paint the scene. The Mono crescendo is poised and builds precisely. The sledgehammer strikes and the giant prehistoric bird falls hard. The ice breaks and the half-dead animal sinks slowly down through the black depths to the hypothermia of its permanent sleep. Mono didn't want to kill, they had to; the city is safe again. Quote

olyclimber Posted April 26, 2007 Author Posted April 26, 2007 I thought it was pretty good, they played a few song off their upcoming album. Even with earplugs my ears where ringing this morning. Good stuff...like that band Hovercraft but without the movie to go along with the music. The Japanese group was pretty good too...there was also some guy doing a painting up on stage during the show changing colors and brush strokes according to the music. Quote
