So, I went to see my friend Split's band [Monochrome] play tonight. Once again, fucking awesome. I've only heard them once before at Highland Grounds, where they were slightly more accoustic and only got to play a couple songs, but still managed to shine after all the shit the was onstage before them. This evening, at Cafe Danse over on Pico, they rocked the house. I'm sure there was some trepidation at following The Throwaways, who were pretty damn good and whose lead singer really fucking *performed* onstage, but once Monochrome began with their first song, "Velvet Glove," it was all over. The only complaint about the set was that it was a bit too loud, so a lot of stuff was mixed together and often instruments would compete with each other. I probably could have mitigated some of this by sitting farther back, but hey, I loved what I heard. That and, I must admit, the band's singer [Chasey] is *gorgeous*. She didn't put on any moves, she just stood there, moving to the beat and singing like a fuckin' goddess. I'm *dying* to hear what they'd be capable of with a little studio time.

I want more!

More, more, more!
