Also Tonight: MONO (Win Tickets!!!)
MONO @ Neumos | 05/11 | 9pm | $13.50 Advance tickets As some of you might know, I went to Portland, Oregon yesterday to elongate my Spring 2010 MONO experience. MONO was just here in October 2009, and it was a fantastic show. Expecting to hear the same set list as the shows performed last fall, it was a pleasant surprise to see that MONO has changed things up a bit! Last night, MONO showcased [...]
Break Time with SSG: MONO + Backstage chat (Win Tickets!!!)
As many of you know, MONO will be gracing Neumos on May 11, 2010. What some of you may not know is that this is going to be their last tour for at least a year. MONO is going to be taking some time off to record their next record, and the concepts that have been leaked are pretty incredible. Staying true to their style, MONO has been evolving into the most epic version of themselves over the past [...]
The Books sign with Temporary Residence Limited
Co-written by: Brady McGarry The Books are a duo (Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong) who gather everything beautiful about life and create a complete multimedia piece of art.

Nikki’s Choice: Top 5 Shows in 2009
Mono Live in NYC May 09, 2009 This was the first time I had ever flown anywhere to see a show. In actuality, it was something of a leap of faith as I had never even seen MONO live before. I was told from a friend who had seen MONO several times, "MONO is the only band whom I actually want an encore from when they complete. If they are going to play with a 24-piece orchestra, this could be the [...]
Jason’s Choice: Top 5 shows in 2009
Picking out a measly 5 shows is a pretty difficult task and I could add at least another 20 to the list. Actually it's next to impossible....so before I get started, here are a few honorable mentions. And let's be clear, these are shows that moved ME in particular. These are shows I loved. Champagne Champagne@ EMP during Bumbershoot was a fantastic spectacle to behold. The Show was tight, [...]
Tonight in Music: Russian Circles

PREVIEW: MONO
MONO @ Neumos October 9, 2009 @ 8PM When she woke, her head was pounding. She knew that it was her against the day, but she didn’t care. Something was different. When she flicked on the lights, the artificial shine broke the silence of the darkness, furthering her headache. However, on the other side of that interrupted darkness was hope, for something was different. Blank faced yet [...]
