LIVE SESSION: The Uptown Monotones

This is Experimental Fusion.  This is The Uptown Monotones!

The Uptown Monotones are a testament to the enduring spirit of musical innovation.

Formed in Graz, Austria in 1993, this experimental fusion trio has spent over a quarter of a century pushing boundaries and delighting audiences across Europe.

Their journey from local stages to the finals of the talent show Die große Chance reflects not only their talent but also their relentless enthusiasm for new challenges and sounds.

Over the years, they’ve continued to evolve, constantly weaving new instruments and influences into their performances, resulting in a dynamic and unpredictable live experience that leaves audiences captivated!

What truly sets The Uptown Monotones apart is their fearless approach to music.

Their shows are renowned for explosive energy, genre-defying spontaneity, and a sense of joy that is infectious.

Whether they are delivering fresh off-beat originals, inventive covers, or breath-taking electronic, ethno-inspired improvisations, the band consistently surprises and uplifts.

Their ability to transform a concert from a classy folk session into a pulsating, genre-melding spectacle speaks to their creative vision and technical prowess.

After decades together, The Uptown Monotones remain as vibrant and inspiring as ever, proving that true artistry knows no limits!

It was a pleasure to welcome Ivory, Vern and Helley to our morning studio.  You can listen again right here.

Don’t forget, they will be appearing at The Whiskey Mule in Lymm tomorrow night (Friday 23rd May).
