The Monochrome Set, fronted by Indian-born singer and songwriter Bid, were one of the leading indie bands of the late Seventies/early Eighties. Emerging for the same Hornsey School of Art scene as Adam Ant, they have influenced bands as diverse as the Smiths and Franz Ferdinand. Their concert at the Central TV studios, screened in March 1991, marked a comeback, inspired by their popularity in Japan where they attained genuine pop-idol status. |
