Mona Live from the Mercury Lounge Review












After having to cancel their show in Brooklyn yesterday due to weather, Tennessee band Mona rocked the Mercury Lounge. Fresh off their tour in Europe, these guys seemed grateful to be back in the states. The band came on after a rocking set by Devin Therriault (who we will cover later). Mona doesn't even have an album out yet, but that didn't prevent them from playing H.A.M (Hard As a Motherfucker). One thing I was worried about coming into the concert was whether the singer would have the same singing chops as he had on the studio mixes. Luckily the guy can flat out sing and delivered in a live setting. The setlist was short, but that's to be expected for any band without an album out. They played their radio hits "Listen to Your Love" and "Teenager" along with other songs not yet released. Overall these guys have a lot of potential and I would love to track how these guys develop as time goes on. Full setlist after the break.


The full setlist is as follows:

Trouble
Taboo Lights
Teenager
Lines in the Sand
Listen to Your Love
Say you Will
Shoot the Moon
Cloak and Dagger
Lean into the Fall
