The Lucksmiths were a very well-thought of Australian indie-pop band, with eight albums between 1993 and 2008. The bass player was Mark Monnone, and when the band broke-up, he embarked on a solo career using the rather obvious but brilliant name of Monnone Alone.
The debut album, Together At Last, was released in 2013, a year when Monnone Alone appeared at Indietracks, with one of the album tracks finding its way onto the celebratory compilation for that year’s festival.
