At the end of 2010 a debut TV gold performance on 'Later with Jools ' set things up for 2011 . It ended up being an incredible and whirlwind year for Mona. The bands debut album was released to acclaim in the UK and singles 'Listen To Your Love' , 'Trouble On The Way ',Teenager' and 'Shooting The Moon' proved to be massive fan favourites on the live scene.
From early gigs at 150 capacity venues such as the legendary Flowerpot and Rough Trade East, they went on to headline and sell out a number of shows in the UK including London's premiere music venues The Shephers Bush Empire, Electric Ballroom and Brixton Academy as part of XFM's Winter Wonderland show.
MTV invited Mona to play Koko in London as part of their Brand New For 2011 competition, the band went on to win this beating off competition from artists such as Jessie J and The Vaccines.
In the Summer of 2011 the band joined the Kings Of Leon on the road on their stadium tour, playing some incredible venues such as Ireland's Slane Castle and London's Hyde Park. For all the fans that missed the stand alone shows they had the opportunity to catch the band at some of the worlds biggest Festivals. Mona played to huge crowds at Reading & Leeds Festivals and of course Glastonbury to name just two.
It was not just the UK that were treated to the energy and sheer power of Mona. 2011 saw the band play over 150 shows that covered Germany, Japan, France, Spain, Australia and many more.
Sights now set on conquering home - the US. Mona having already toured with The Airbourne Toxic Event, The Joy Formidable and joint headlined shows with Funeral Party release the album debut with a debut headline tour on February 28th 2012 .
The only thing slick about Mona is their hair. The rest is arm-pumping, vein-throbbing, knee-jittering, raw-throated, singalong rock’n’roll. Thank God they’ve come.
