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. βHow 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. In 2015, I saw them in D.C. shortly after beginning a Master’s program. This July, I moved 7 hours from home to Detroit, a new

Philadelphia, PA, USA (August 7, 2017) Hello, my name is Lydia and I am a very anxious Frenger. I was fortunate to see my favorite band Mew perform at the Fillmore in Philadelphia on 8/7/17. It was an amazing and moving experience that I hope to remember forever! Mew is my favorite band so getting

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 β who they are, in proper words. As I recently commented on one of Mewβs 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 βWhatever is received into something is received according to the condition of the receiver.β Itβs 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

Bristol, UK (May 21, 2017) Mew at the Bristol Trinity Centre was a surreal experience for me. I have spent much of last nightβs car journey home and this beautifully sunny morning trying to formulate a coherent train of thought as to what exactly happened. I have been following Mewβs music since I was around

Shanghai, China (May 14, 2017) “This is our 2nd time in Shanghai. Crazy city, amazing!” said Johan Wohlert to the audience. I was surprised because I didn’t know that they’ve been here only twice. Mew came to Japan many times from 2003 to now, so as a Japanese person, I thought China was the same.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (May 10, 2017) May 10, 2017 was the second time Mew came to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The first time they came to Kuala Lumpur was for the same event, called “Urbanscapes” on October 31, 2013. It has been four years! I still remember how Frengers enthusiastically came that night. Gate opened at

Itβs 2017, and we still have pop music. Although the clue is in the name with Visuals, my first flirting with the record has turned my thoughts to the things that grow beyond the moving images, and beyond the sound. I think there are bits and pieces that are directly referential, most obviously in Ay
Brisbane, Australia (December 4, 2015) Aerials kicked off the last night of Mew’s debut Australian tour. The band themselves have spoken about how much they love the band and an excitement shows through their live performance. Although the crowd is a bit thin, these Brisbane locals give us a taste of their last few releases
