Mononeon live in the Galaxy Barn at Pickathon

[tallulahsdaddy]

I was out at Pickathon this weekend working as a stage manager. Mononeon played 11pm Saturday in the Galaxy Barn, its capacity can't be over 200 people. My nephew and I were lucky enough to grab a couple of backstage spots to the left of the stage, we were about four feet from the drummer's back. It was such a killer set, Mononeon is a master of rhythm and harmony. His band was an amazing blend of precision and looseness that grooved so hard! My nephew took these pictures, it was a great experience I'll remember forever.

Awesome. I’m so glad he actually does well playing with other people. When he came to fame as what seemed to be a solo player, I hoped he wasn’t just another such player that never integrated well with other players.

I was there too, standing just outside the garage door. Such a killer show - loved the twin Prince funk guitar attack as well.

Awesome! I had a blast all weekend. I saw GEL at the Galaxy Barn as well, I hadn't been in that close proximity to a mosh pit in a long time. Did any other sets stand out to you over the weekend? W.I.T.C.H. in the woods was pretty sweet too.

Oh yeah for sure - Wine Lips, Sgt. Papers (I was fully engaged in the mosh pit), Mikela Davis, Madison Cunningham. Of course I'd be remiss not to mention my band - Motrik We had a great time playing the Galaxy Barn Thursday and the Windmill on Sunday.

Oh, cool! I didn't catch either of your sets, but I wish I had! Did you happen to wander up to the Coyote Neighborhood? It's the kids and families section, I was the stage manager there and played bass with The Alphabeticians on Friday morning.

Oh wait, I did catch the beginning of your set at the barn on Thursday! You were all in white jumpsuits, right? Got introduced as the best krautrock band this side of the Atlantic? That was fun!

 

[egolts]

Ah, never made it to Coyote land, seemed like a great spot tho.

Regarding jumpsuits - yep that was us!
