Monnone Alone joined Sarah & Laura in the Local Roots studio for this week’s Jam Session.

Each week we bring in an independent artist to perform and share their music live in the studio just for you.

Although the name may suggest otherwise, Monnone Alone are a bona fide pop group based around the sagacious songwriting of Mark Monnone (ex-Lucksmiths) and featuring members of A-grade pop tinkerers Architecture in Helsinki, Mid-State Orange and Aleks & the Ramps. That’s almost as bona fide as it gets.

Having toured the US and Europe with a rotating line-up on the back of first album 20

13’s Together at Last (which was recorded in Brooklyn’s Marlborough Farms studio and featured performances by members of The Ladybug Transistor, The Clean, The Aislers Set, Crystal Stilts and Love is All), Mark Monnone eventually got to work back home solidifying the group’s line-up with some of his favourite local players: Joe Foley on bass, Louis Richter on guitar and Gus Franklin returning to the throne having played drums on (and co-produced) the first album.

Mark, Gus & Joe joined the Local Roots crew to chat about the recently released album and upcoming show in Melbourne.
