The day before yesterday Mew played Cartoons and Macramé Wounds live for the first time ever (at Detroit Bar, Costa Mesa, California) and this means that they have played nine tracks out of the fourteen No More Stories-songs so far (some only acoustically, though). Only the intermezzos, Vaccine, Tricks of the Trade and Reprise are […]

No More Stories held the #1 spot on Danish album chart on its second week, but dropped to #60 in Sweden (where it went in at #41 on its opening week). Another interesting fact is that the album is now #130 in United States when it opened at #183 there. That’s quite a climb, isn’t

Last month we arranged a competition called ‘El Sueño’ where you were to describe your dreams, real or not. Over 120 people entered the contest, and all of them were such good reads that it would’ve been impossible to pick just the best three. So in all fairness, we picked them randomly and below are

As successful as they are, Mew have NEVER reached #1 on any album chart – not even in their homeland. Until now. As people have expected, No More Stories did it in Denmark. Mew are now officially #1 – CONGRATULATIONS! In Finland, Mew’s fifth album reached #2 on its opening week and is holding that

Daytrotter.com has given you two live tracks to download for free. The first track is a combo of New Terrain and The Zookeeper’s Boy and the second track is Special. Recorded just yesterday, these two (or three) acoustic songs sound absolutely wonderful and it might be interesting to hear what New Terrain sounds like reversed

In addition to New Terrain, Introducing Palace Players, Repeaterbeater and Sometimes Life Isn’t Easy, Mew have now added a new No More Stories-track to their setlists. The exotic Hawaii had its premiere last night during their show in New York City (at Music Hall of Williamsburg) and rumour has it that the next new tracks
