Monochrome

Monochrome – a band consisting of Helm Pfohl, Marten Thielges, Dominik Thomann, Christian Specker and two singers: Marc Calmbach and Kate Complikate. Monochrome - two US tours to date and a constant barrage of shows throughout Europe – in squats, galleries, discos and horse stalls. Monochrome – along with numerous EPs, they’ve released the albums Laser (1999), Ferro (2003) and Éclat (2006). And now Caché. Monochrome come from Stuttgart, Germany and Basel, Switzerland.
In the last 14 years, as they mutated from Dawnbreed to Monochrome Collective to Monochrome, they’ve never made a secret of the fact that they don’t respect borders, whether geographically or stylistically. Unfazed by the need to be “hip”, they also don’t bore us with statements about or against what is considered cool in music today. Where post-hardcore, D.I.Y., sophistication, pop and oddball dance rock meet, that’s where you’ll find Monochrome. Hard without showing off their muscles, soft without being kitschy.
