Formica Blues Tour
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Formica_Blues_Tour an entity of type: Abstraction100002137
Mono's 1998 tour, promoting the album Formica Blues, was the only tour undertaken by the band, which formed in 1996 and broke up in the years following the tour. The inclusion of the single "Life in Mono" in the soundtrack to the 1998 film Great Expectations may have been responsible for an influx of radio requests for the song following the film's release. At the same time, however, Mono remained virtually unknown in their home country; the tour's destinations balanced out accordingly, with a dedicated U.S. leg but no dates in the UK at all. This was to be followed afterwards by additional U.S. concerts, with the band scheduled to join the 1998 Lilith Fair lineup during part of the U.S. leg of the traveling music festival.

In order to recreate the sounds of the Formica Blues songs in live performances, ADAT recordings were used alongside the musicians: guitarist, bassist, and drummer, plus band keyboardist, programmer, and producer Martin Virgo on keyboards and samples. In particular, the drum parts were a combination of pre-programmed as well as live.
