Which also has a bit of Quiet Men on the end.

Funny that, I was just about to suggest you post about the FoxxVox tracks here on Metamatic...

Brian, since you have been putting so many links up on the forums for the gig, you should join Monument's official forum because we need the place livened up a bit

maybe I sould join,but I don't think the guys like me

Nothing happens at all on 'Monument' anymore, but the group are playing better than ever. So thats the main thing.
Would be good to see more info and pics posted there though.

Maryann,

I think I am a member,just never had anything to say over there.As you say the forum is pretty quiet.I'll post all the stuff over there to see if it wakes some people up

Too late they've already updated their website to link to my clips.

Oh well.....
Bet you didnt think you would go to a gig and become the " unofficial official" videographer of the night.

Thanks Brian for posting the links.
They have covered the JF tracks very well sticking very closely to the original sound.

One day I'd love to see Monumant live.

The gig really rocked.just needed a few more people there.

New Europens especially.

Its got me playing Vienna (the CD) & Rage in Eden again.

Any new recruits are welcome, its just that were never there lately to welcome anyone.

It's alright Maryann,I know a couple of the guys from Monument,we regularly rib each other on other forums and sometimes even at gigs ,although anytime they've played up here I've had to work,will hopefully sort that out soon though

I think there may be a new date soonish.

There will be for sure, its been confirmed by the lead singer. The only problem is its another local gig, ie based in Scotland.

Well maybe now that they added some FoxxVox tracks the band will perhaps tour further south from Midge country

Thats a nice thought M but I think the only time Monument would travel around more, is if they were more widely known. And the only way to be widely known, is to tour wider.

Should have posted this before but I ventured down to Greenock to see the lads play their set and thourghly enjoyed it!!,despite the many teckie problems they had to overcome on the night.(I wore my Metamatic t-shirt )
They did their trio of FoxxVox tracks wich were very good indeed.Hiroshima was beutifull.
Loved their version of Vienna.
