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

Mew promised to perform a very special show at Zune L.A. Space where they opened an art installation (titled ‘Mewseum’) that ends the day after tomorrow. Catch it if you are in Los Angeles. This very short “special performance event” seems like an understatement when you look at the setlist: New Terrain (in which bassist

Jonas Bjerre has called them the best band in Denmark, but no-one seems to know who they even are. According to Mew, this band called Lords of Destruction have been around since 1994, but they have never released any demotapes – other than what Mew’s own label got in 1999 (and were taken back by
