In what’s rapidly turning into an annual event, long-serving indie popsters The Monochrome Set played a superb set to a packed house at London’s Dingwalls last night.
Here’s some photos from the show.
The support act was interesting enough but made the fatal error of playing too ruddy long.

There’s a fantastic PA at Dingwalls – really top notch – although its layout means that you get a great sound in the middle, but less so on the edges and the back.
Although usually the cue for a swift return to the bar, the Monochrome Set introduced a suite of new songs from their upcoming album, which actually proved to be very, very good indeed.
We had the privilege of DJing the show and had a heap of fun, although I’m still a tad miffed at the undue haste in which the management declared the venue closed after the band had finished.
They had the audacity – audacity, I tell ye – to cut off Liberace’s spine-tingling, ivory-rattling rendition of ‘Roll Out The Barrel’ mid-song. Unforgivable. The Heathens.
