After six long years, Mew will finally return to North America for a 16-city tour this fall. Half of the stops are on the West Coast of the US, where Mew have seen good support. San Francisco band The Dodos will open for Mew on these dates. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, […]

On June 3, 2015, Jonas Bjerre and Johan Wohlert did a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session which lasted 2 hours. The original event can be viewed on Reddit. We have compiled the list of questions that Mew had time to answer on this page: Mew’s Reddit AMA. Enjoy! Photo Credit: Mew

Lido / Berlin, Germany (May 25, 2015) I once tried to see Apparatjik play live in Berlin, but that flight was cancelled. This time I decided to fly in so early (a day before), so that something like that wouldn’t happen again. I spent almost three days in Berlin and it is a really fun

Amsterdam, Netherlands (May 23, 2015) As if we lived out in nature, the venue that is Melkweg is surrounded by water of the canals in Amsterdam. This venue proves to be one of the very best I’ve seen Mew in. Melkweg has a bigger (The Max) and a smaller (Oude Zaal) concert hall and Mew

Today Mew announced they will be playing the Festival Corona Capital this November in Mexico. This is the first of their North American tour dates (more of which should follow shortly, we hope!) Mew last played Mexico back in 2009. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster Mexico once they go on sale on June 3.

Paris, France (May 22, 2015) Over the course of my day and a half stay across The Channel in Paris, I’m never exactly sure where I am. I mean, I know what I’m next to, and our phones tell us how to get to the next thing we want to be next to, but my

London, UK (May 20, 2015) It was just under a year since I last saw Mew perform at the Roundhouse. I truly believed that it was the best performance that I had seen from them thus far. However, I now believe that they have now topped that performance and personally, the show was a much

Manchester, UK (May 19, 2015) I was told a great anecdote by some fellow Mew fans last night. About a decade ago or so Mew played a concert in a smaller northern UK venue. They must have felt like the tour had become a bit repetitive at that point, because they opted to shake things

Glasgow, UK (May 17, 2015) It was Bonfire Night 2009 the last time Mew came to Scotland. I distinctly remember moaning about how the last thing I needed on a Thursday night was to be rushing down Sauchiehall Street at midnight, trying to avoid neds chucking fireworks at each other. That show was great, filled

From the very first moment I heard My Complications live at Vanguard Festival in the summer of 2014, I knew it’d be one of my favourite songs off the new album. Granted, the dynamic-less Russell Lissack riff felt (and still feels!) a bit forced, but I have no problem coping with it. The pace of
