The Quilted Virtuoso: MonoNeon Brings Deep Funk to the Blue Note
Fresh off the surprise release of his latest album, This Dirt Loves Me More Than You, the world’s most eccentric bass virtuoso is coming to Sunset Boulevard. MonoNeon will headline a high-voltage two-night residency at Blue Note Los Angeles on Monday, February 9, and Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
Known for his signature quilted masks and left-handed, upside-down playing style, MonoNeon (born Dywane Thomas Jr.) has evolved from a viral YouTube sensation into a Grammy-winning powerhouse.

Backed by a live ensemble that matches his unpredictable energy, the show promises to be a masterclass in modern funk, likely featuring fan favorites like “Jelly Roll” and “Basquiat & Skittles.”
