The Monochrome Set were an English post-punk band originally formed in 1978 from the remnants of a college group called The B-Sides (whose members had included Stuart Goddard, a.k.a. Adam Ant). The band is notable for its witty lyrics, the laconic delivery of lead singer Bid, and the idiosyncratically retrogressive playing style of original lead guitarist Lester Square.

  • モノクローム・セット(The Monochrome set) は、イギリスの音楽バンドである。 70年代後半のパンク・ロック・ムーブメント真っ盛りのロンドンのインディーズレーベル、ラフ・トレード(Rough Trade)の第一弾レコードとしてデビューしたネオアコ系のグループであり、後に数多くのグループに影響を与えることとなった。ネオアコ、サイケデリック・ロック、エスニック（実際にリーダーのビド(Bid)はインド人）等様々な要素を吸収し聴く者を癖にさせる不思議なサウンドを展開している。 アンディー・ウォーホルは彼等のサウンドについて、「ベンチャーズ(Ventures)とヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンド(Velevet Underground)を足して2で割った様」だと評した。 また、Monochrome setとは白黒テレビを意味している。
  • The Monochrome Set — английская инди-группа, образовавшаяся из остатковThe B-Sides (в числе участников которой был и Адам Ант). Приобрела известность юмористическими текстами, замысловатой ретро-стилистикой и визуальными экспериментами.
