What I love about music festivals like SXSW, CMJ or [Northside](http://www.northsidefestival.com/?ref=glamglare.com) is not only the broad variety of participating musicians but the chance to see bands who would get lost in the daily mix of a city like New York. With having some “time to kill”, and knowing that [Black Bear Bar](http://www.blackbearbk.com/?ref=glamglare.com) would offer stellar sounds systems, gorgeous lighting and the much appreciated A/C to beat the summer heat, we headed there and were pleasantly surprised with the band who just started to play: [Monograms](http://www.monogramsmusic.com/?ref=glamglare.com) from Brooklyn.

Listening to their [*Fader* EP](https://soundcloud.com/monograms/sets/fader-ep?ref=glamglare.com), which impresses with strong melodies, driving beats, lush guitar sounds and infectious rhythms, I liked them even better than I already liked them live, hence the #3IsABand feature. There’s (not yet) much material available online. They do play another show though at Williamsburg’s stellar music venue [Rough Trade NYC](http://www.roughtradenyc.com/?ref=glamglare.com) and you’ll read more about them here… To stay connected, follow Monograms on their [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/monogramsmusic?fref=ts) and/or Twitter.

Listen to the driving beat, rad guitars and cool vocals in *Makeup* and then make your way through the entire EP. Here’s looking forward to more great music!
