The Monotones

About Me

A group of monotones likewise creates versatility. This has been our motto while we have been going from concert to concert since December 2006, most of the time accompanied by our guest singer Anna Rossinelli. Our goal is to mix poplike melodies, jazzy harmonies, funky grooves and club-oriented beats into a funk of the 21st century. Live-music should become fit for the club again or, on the other hand, club-music should be listened to in concert-places and livingrooms again.
