Los Angeles, CA, USA (August 26, 2017) I like to believe that I live my life as unapologetically honest as possible. As I write this review, I find it hard to wrap my head around a beginning; so I guess we can just start off with when I saw Mew two years ago in Los […]

KEXP 90.3 FM, Seattle, WA, USA (August 17, 2017) Whenever Mew visits Seattle, it tends to be quite an occasion. Not just for me, personally, since it is my base of operations, but because the city always welcomes them with open arms. They are beloved here, revered even. A great deal of that love is

Denver, CO, USA (August 15, 2017) Mew is something more than a favorite band to me. Mew was the soundtrack during some of my most influential, chaotic, and life changing years. I listen to Mew and I feel nostalgic, happy, and sad all at once. I have more Mew plays in Apple Music then any

Chicago, IL, USA (August 12, 2017) I was waiting for the wrong train. We were already running late, in an unfamiliar city, unfamiliar means of transportation helping even less; this Florida girl could not imagine living in Chicago and having to rely on a train to take her to her destinations. “How do people do

Detroit, MI, USA (August 11, 2017) For me, Mew shows coincide with significant turning points in my life. Their 2009 show in Brooklyn aligned with a tumultuous family falling out.

New York City, NY, USA (August 3, 2017) When I try to explain Mew to friends and family, I never can quite capture what they are – who they are, in proper words. As I recently commented on one of Mew’s photos on Instagram, I said that they are a sound all their own, and

Leuven, Belgium (July 27, 2017) Quidquid recipitur ad modum recipientis recipitur “Whatever is received into something is received according to the condition of the receiver.” It’s impossible to put anything into its true context without some knowledge of what the possible extremes feel like. Politics, football, architecture, love affairs, whatever. My opinions on those fundamental

Joensuu, Finland (July 14, 2017) The second oldest (since 1971) rock festival in Finland finally saw Mew performing on one of their stages, and the massive tent was packed right from the start. Funnily enough, it was fairly easy to get to the front if you just walked there ten minutes before showtime. This has

London, UK (May 23, 2017) Mew are a live force. At their best, the combination of jet engine dynamics, pinpoint lighting and unmistakable visuals forms an experience which fully transports the psyche to their unique world. The distinct elements of great Mew shows come together seamlessly, as if directed by a single hand. Over the
