Plus Minus will only include ten tracks, but they are above average in length. Those who saw the recent live shows already know that Satellites, My Complications and Cross The River On Your Own were all in the range of 6 to 7 minutes each when played live, and they will certainly not be any […]

The big news. This is what you’ve been waiting for… After seeing the new web address of Plus Minus last week, some of you cleverly put two and two together and guessed that the upcoming sixth album by Mew will be called Plus Minus, and because the band is Mew, on the album cover the title will not even

This will be the most exciting year in the Mew world in a long time. If ever? We recently added a Taiwanese concert (to be held in late March) for our Events-page, but more shows will be announced shortly, as Mew will tour so much this year. So, stay tuned. This is the year when

Odense, Denmark (November 18th, 2014) Going to a Mew concert these days has become much like participating in a lottery. They have started shuffling the songs of the setlists quite a bit. They have a back catalogue big enough to pull it off as well. When you leave out a single like Introducing Palace Players

Herning, Denmark (November 15th, 2014) Last time that Mew played in the small town of Herning was way back in 2000. I’ve never been to Fermaten, but I had high hopes based on descriptions I had found about the venue online. I arrived approximately twenty minutes before the doors opened. Only four people had arrived before

Aarhus, Denmark (November 14th, 2014) Mew is one of those bands that can step up on the stage and get everybody to turn their focus towards them. Nobody at the back of the crowd is small talking. Nobody looks at their smartphones – except me – for I had to take some notes. They capture

Copenhagen, Denmark (November 13th, 2014) The Danish capital is the city where I’ve seen Mew live the most. Duh!!! Outside my own hometown Helsinki, it’s the Nordic beauty I am most familiar with, yet I still always get lost at some point of the evening. Those top-secret nightly strolls are some of my favourite things…

Debaser Medis / Stockholm, Sweden (November 7, 2014) We reached the venue just before doors opened and the queue was not very long at all. We got in quickly and were able to secure a spot in the second row, behind some other die-hard fans who had traveled to Stockholm from all over the world.

Helsinki, Finland (November 5th, 2014) Helsinki. The Finnish capital that always gives Mew a warm welcome. So, going in I was thinking that it might be a long show, for they would have to play quite a few new songs, but also the classics. No one could have expected a whopping 123-minute show, though. That’s
