Last week we saw the video premiere of Repeaterbeater and the reception has been marvellous. Some have called it the best music video of the year (so far) and certainly one of the best Mew have ever had. Its predecessor Introducing Palace Players was not quite as appreciated due to the lack of band members […]

The music video for Repeaterbeater is finally online. As was described earlier, this one really feels like a little film. Are you ready to get hypnotized? There’s also a cool competition at this Norwegian website.

We had a little computer failure recently and lost quite a bit of valuable stuff with it. Here’s only a short part of the interview we had with Jonas Bjerre (who just turned 33 today). The following read is quite dated for it was made in Copenhagen on June 24th (Mew themselves experienced some computer

We decided to collect some of the best cover songs made by some talented frengers, uploaded on YouTube. Some videos have Mew still playing in the background. Am I Wry? No (drum), Am I Wry? No (complete cover), Apocalypso (guitar), Comforting Sounds – Video Version (piano), Introducing Palace Players (guitar), Introducing Palace Players (drum), She

This is most likely the final part, but there will be a proper ‘reviews’-section on this site shortly. From that page you will find all the best reviews in one.

Mew played two shows in Mexico just this week and are now on a well-deserved six-week long tour break. The 20+ European shows are scheduled next, starting from late October. Some of the venues are quite small (like the 500-capacity Gebäude 9 in Cologne, Germany) and some are massive (the 7000-capacity Old Ice Hall in

The day before yesterday Mew played Cartoons and Macramé Wounds live for the first time ever (at Detroit Bar, Costa Mesa, California) and this means that they have played nine tracks out of the fourteen No More Stories-songs so far (some only acoustically, though). Only the intermezzos, Vaccine, Tricks of the Trade and Reprise are

No More Stories held the #1 spot on Danish album chart on its second week, but dropped to #60 in Sweden (where it went in at #41 on its opening week). Another interesting fact is that the album is now #130 in United States when it opened at #183 there. That’s quite a climb, isn’t

Last month we arranged a competition called ‘El Sueño’ where you were to describe your dreams, real or not. Over 120 people entered the contest, and all of them were such good reads that it would’ve been impossible to pick just the best three. So in all fairness, we picked them randomly and below are

Mew are still doing pretty well on album charts. The Norwegian second week was #5 when No More Stories opened there at #2. In Finland Mew held the #2 spot for the first two weeks, but has now dropped to #4 on its 3rd official week (and just in case you’re wondering: the album was
