The Tokyo, Japan-based instrumental rock band MONO was founded in 1999. Their unique approach of blending orchestral arrangements and shoegaze guitar noise has been held in extremely high regard – NME classified it as “music for the Gods”. Relentless and restless, MONO's annual world tour schedule consists of around 150 shows. The band has now visited over 59 countries (and counting) and proudly holds the stake of being one of Japan's most internationally successful bands. Official website: www.monoofjapan.com
