Japan’s MONO Confirm Further Australian Dates

The instrumental group will play three further shows while here for DARK MOFO.

More Mono Mono

The stunning Japanese experimental post-rock group MONO have made a few visits to Australia over the years and last week it was confirmed that they would be returning to our shores as a part of the DARK MOFO festival in June.  Today the band has revealed a series of dates around that already announced show, the band adding three more dates along the east coast of Australia.

They tour in support of their latest LP For My Parents, another distinctive piece of work that we can't wait to see them recreate in the live arena – goodness knows they've proven how brilliantly they can make their intricate, beautiful records sound on the live stage in past visits.

If you need ultimate proof of just how beautiful this band's music is, check out this snapshot of Iceland that they recorded the score for recently. It might make you a little teary…
