Mona are set to play a very special instore performance at East London's Rough Trade Records on Monday 16th May. This exclusive instore gig marks the UK release of the band's debut album and will be simply unmissable.

The band have also confirmed a free signing session at HMV Brighton on Friday 13th May at 5.30pm. Fans will be given the chance to meet the band before they play Hector’s House as part of the Great Escape Festival.
Mona’s debut album, ‘Mona’, will be released through the band’s own imprint Zion Noiz Recordings/Island Records on CD, Digital Download and limited edition collectors vinyl from May 16th. The band will also play their biggest show so far at the Electric Ballroom a day later.
