A little bit from list.co.uk about Mona -
Mona - King Tut’s, Glasgow, Wed 9 Mar
Source: The List (Issue 679)
Date: 24 March 2011
Written by: David Pollock
Anthemic US-style rock'n'roll from Dayton, Ohio
‘Our manager’s from Glasgow, so we knew y’all was some crazy motherf***ers,’ said Mona’s singer Nick Brown in his deadpan, stateside drawl. ‘We’re from Dayton, Ohio, which is one redneck town. But y’all are doing us proud.’ The packed crowd roared and laughed and had another drink, safe in the knowledge they were seeing the American Glasvegas – right down to the singer’s quiff.
Morrissey might have picked them for his tour support, but Mona’s show is unrequited rock’n’roll anthemics all the way, with Brown (an excellent frontman) vocally impersonating Springsteen on ‘Pavement’, Robert Plant on ‘Shooting the Moon’ and Bobby Gillespie on ‘Say You Will’. By the Johnny Cash-lauding encore of ‘I Seen’, he was swigging from a bottle of Jack: either he’s got a sponsorship deal or he’s the real deal." - http://www.list.co.uk/article/33423-mona-king-tuts-glasgow-wed-9-mar/
They played several tunes on Later with Jools Holland a while back too -
I reckon they'll be big though I agree with PUNKtured BIKE's earlier recap.
