This superb previously unreleased DVD is a valuable historic document of the band's earliest live footage in existence. A full live set caught on camera of the American leg of the M80 concert in Minneapolis, Indiana (September 1979), offering an early candid snapshot of the group. Includes two early live songs (both compositions by original bassist Jermey Harrington) - Fly Me To The Moon and Viva Death Row. Also includes amazingly revealing sleeve notes written by the enigmatic lead vocalist Bid himself. Released to coincide with the band's European Tour in 2013. The... Monochrome Set originally formed in 1978 from the remnants of a college group called The B-Sides (whose members had included Stuart Goddard, a.k.a. Adam Ant). The post-punk band is notable for its witty lyrics, the laconic delivery of lead singer Bid and the idiosyncratically retrogressive playing style of original lead guitarist Lester Square. The live footage contained in this DVD is so important, not only because it offers an early candid snapshot of the group, but also because it captures a musical fire and edginess inherent to only a few bands of that era. It is both a time capsule and a true joy to witness.
