Entertainment

Five band members stad together for a photoshoot.

MONROE - 3:15pm

MONROE are a 5 piece rock band hailing out of the South East Melbourne suburbs. Embodying the spirit of their 80s hard rock heroes, MONROE puts a modern twist on infectious guitar riffs, anthemic sing along choruses and bombastic, tongue in cheek KISS-esque onstage antics fit for a stadium. It's all about the show baby.
