Melbourne, VIC, Australia (September 12, 2017)

Leading up to the show tonight, there was something that just didn’t sit right with me. Against all odds we managed to give Mew a warm enough reception the f…

Brisbane, QLD, Australia (September 10, 2017)

It is the kind of anxiety that feels heavy, like a coat that’s too big and scratchy when the air is suddenly very hot. I’m late for doors and slip inside the ven…

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…

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…

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…

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.…

It’s impossible to put a…

Bristol, UK (May 21, 2017)

Mew at the Bristol Trinity Centre was a surreal experience for me. I have spent much of last night’s car journey home and this beautifully sunny morning trying to formulate a c…

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…

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (May 10, 2017)

Tokyo, Japan (November 25, 2015)

This is the very first concert I have ever attended in Japan and I don’t intend it to be the last. After several times Mew held concerts there, I could finally see them live i […]
