Monument - The Official Ultravox Tribute Band

sounds intresting folks, i have come across monument,s website before, but i never seen them play live, even when they did the show last year at the 100 club in london (i think)for the voxgate meeting / before the original ultravox did thier show at hammersmith apollo 24.04.09 , i didn,t notice it untill i join this forum much later, i would like to try & make this show in september for monument as i never seen them before, can you tell me where,s the nearest tube or train station by any chance for this show folks - many thanks... westham pete:

Eternal thanks to bacon features for all things www. & keepin' the faith, cheers kidrrrr!

Hi Pete,

Tube stations & related info re the Purple Turtle is available from venue website.

Rehearsals are going well & better than expected
We are really looking forward to this gig as we have yet to play London.
Hope to see you there...

Thanks for the reply (sleepwalker-Don) im hoping to make the gig on that night mate, im just trying to find a friend to go with at the moment, & it would be nice Don if i can come up & say hello to you / before you start, & dont worry i wont keep you to long talking Don , as i know you got to set the gear up for the stage, i been a Vox fan since 82 onwards, but unfortunately did not catch them on the Quartet tour back then / didn,t see them untill 84 at Hammersmith Odeon on the Set Movements Tour for the Lament album .

is there anyone else going to the monument gig by any chance, looking for someone to go with, please e.mail me or send a private message ... westham pete:

Hi guys,

Just a wee reminder to say we are playing in London on the 26th of this month at the Purple Turtle in Camden.

Details can be found above and here
www.ultravoxtribute.co.uk

All things being equal Don, we should be there.



Regards,


Paul

I really was hoping to attend this one, I presumed it was a Saturday night, but as it's a Sunday and my other half is in work really early Monday morning I will have to take the kids to school. Bummer.

Any idea on the approximate time you will be starting/ending ?

Hi David,

Between 9 - 10pm I imagine, although time slots will be confirmed nearer the time of the gig.

Regards...

Sleepy

Hi Don
As you know I shall be there as I'm at another gig on the saturday night so shall be extending my stay in London. I shall be photographing. Looking forward to it!
See you there!!!!
J

i also see that Global Citizen are on the bill aswell, are they the support band, will they be on stage performing before or after Monument.

like you say Jojo, its a shame this gig not on a saturday night, hope it doesn,t finish to late on a sunday night / bl**dy work the next day

We are honoured to say we are headlining at this gig.

Yeah, it's a real pity the gig is on a Sunday.
We were asked to play & we felt it was an opportunity, that we really wanted to take advantage of.
It would be great to see familiar faces as well as some newbies on the night too & by all means, please do make yourself known to us at the venue.

What I will say is we plan to play more gigs in the future & possibly in a city / town near you.
We are planning a one off special gig in Glasgow for early in the new year.

More information to follow soon...

Regards...

Sleepy (AKA Beef Currie)

I'll be there - although given the time you go on stage and the fact I'm hoping to go to a Russian drinking establishment before I may not be fully coherent

Myspace updated too.... sorry for the delay, I had just assumed one of the boys would have already done that

Hope you have a great gig guys and everyone going has a brilliant time.

Unfortunately finances won't extend to an over-nighter in London so I won't be able be there

But everyone ENJOY and I look forward to seeing your photo's and review (and if you happened to be recording it.......?!!?)

M

Luvlee jublee,
Feel free to send your wonderful pictures and review to the webmaster who will promptly upload them to the Monument site.

Piglet!!!
I will indeed if I get anything decent!!! Thank you!

Given the subjects, you'll be lucky!!!

I'm sure you will. From what I've seen of your live music photography so far I am well impressed. You'll have to smuggle a piglet into the pit next time you get AAA. But is your draw string bag big enough, I ask myself?

Good luck with the Monument gig anyways.

nearer the time of the gig, could anybody please let me know if they are definately going, as it would be nice to meet up for a drink & chat before the gig, i just hope they dont finish late on a sunday night folks .

Hi Pete,

We should be finished our set at around 10pm. If you come along on the day and identify yourself, there will be plenty folk that we can all chat and drink with.

Mines is a pint of lager pal...

Davy

Wish I could be there!!!! It's not fair..!!

M

Hey folks,

I had the honour of watching MONUMENT twice in 2005 (Crewe and Cheshunt), and as someone correctly described beforehand: if you close your eyes and have had a pint, they sound exactly like the real thing!!!!!!!!!!

Go for it!! I can't - will be in Ibiza...

Enjoy all

Eh? TEN PINTS !!!

OMG, I wrote TEN!!! I meant to say ONE OR TWO, LOL!!!

Ach, spelling mistakes after four vermouths, buahahahaha!!!

Izzy, you were right first time....

D




I Jest... obviously.

- thanks for the reply Davy B: i take it that you will be on stage quiet early then, i look forward to meeting you & the rest of the band, as its the first time i seen you play (Live) whens the best time to get there dave, & if poss - what time will the band start . - many thanks... westham pete:

Hi Pete, best to get there for about 8pm.. Global Citizen will be on first.. they should not be missed.

We will confirm the Band times later this week.

Davy

I'm bleached blonde and I wave my arms around a lot when I get animated - shouldn't be too hard to spot LOL!

Oh what have i let myself in for (Gillian) prehaps i better not go mate , to be on the safe side , as i know you are already going for that Russian Drink up earlier in the day mate .

just asking Davy B or Don - can you tell me what time the gig will finish sunday night if poss , as like some of us have to get the last train home for work the next morning , sorry to brag on about it Lads . :rolleyes:

Have a good time Mr Happy Hammer, and the rest of yiz.

im very sorry folks , after all the fuss & attention i made about going to this gig , & getting a chance to meet the band , i cant b**dly go due to engineering works on the stupid railway , i been checking TFL (Transport for London) before heading out today , theres always engineering works / every weekend , & as been so for about 2 years or more in london , i even tried working my way round it somehow , but theres also alternative Bus routes to take aswell , it will take me to long to get there & back + work in the morning . (SORRY FOLKS)

excellent stuff as usual , despite a few problems with equipment falling over and sound cutting out

'The Voice' was class...

Nice Photos by the way (D.Angel)- HOPEFULLY i can catch Monument at a another London gig at a later date maybe , hopefully next time they will play on a saturday instead somewhere / Then there,s no worries about work the next morning , or rushing to get the last train home or engineering works / nightbus instead maybe .

Luvlee photies there mind.

Ere Westham Pete...Rob G played a blinder on Saturday, eh.

Yer` Thanks Conny , Rob G did do some good saving on saturday mate , & it did make a good change for the Hammers to beat Spurs for once on homeground / Even if it was only 1-0 , for the last 2 years now Spurs as always beating them on thier home turf mate .

shame i couldn,t make the Monument gig on sunday / hopefully next time when they play London mate .

Brilliant photos Jus - and we've got some fab ones of you taking them LOL! They were really good Pete - shame you couldn't make it but I know what you mean about travel, if we'd have gone for our first choice of hotel it would have been a hassle for us (way out on Hammersmith line!).....Still, maybe next time.

I've landed back at base. Yes a few transport problems at weekend - I went to a gig in Canning Town on the Saturday and got stuck with station closures etc - eventually Bank reopened but there were a few line closures. Sunday was more straight forward. LOVED the venue!!! slightly bigger than the UV venue in Helsinki I have to say!! (well the stage certainly was!) - but it was great! Nice to see everyone - Gillian I KNOW you had a great time - I could see you dancing out of the corner of my eye!! lol I have a uni assignment to hand in this Friday which I have not started yet - so next week I shall go through all the photos. Got to go through Saturday's too as they want ones of a particular guitar that was being used - for some album launch promo. Got a good one of Don doing the drum scene at the end!

The gig was excellent - a few technical hitches but hardly surprising with all that gear !! How much gear on stage? lol. Mine for Life was a VERY pleasant surprise!! and the Voice - was most excellent - played old style - LOTS of PUNCH!!! Loved it. I'm preferring this to the more laid back version of today! Your singer - who's name escapes me as I don't know that much about you guys - is very convincing - image wise and vocally.

Michael lol

I'm cream crackered!

Ah thowt young Lydon bared a strang resemblance ti yon Wigan Athletic Manager, until he grew the caterpillar, that iz.

Good voice tho, which nobody can deny.
