I first heard of Mew almost 6 years ago when a friend posted the Repeaterbeater video on Facebook.
The name of the song caught my eye and I was […]

The old saying goes, good things come to those who wait, and fans (or Frengers as we are called) of the Danish rock band, Mew, have been waiting since 2009 […]

This was my first time seeing Mew, and it was an astonishingly breathtaking show. I expected it to be fantastic, but I had no clue I was in for this good of a show. I was lucky and was able to get one spot back from front row in dead center! I completely agree that She Spider was a major high point of the show. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay after to meet them. I guess I’ll have to wait till they come back! 😀

This is one of my favourite reviews on MewX.

Great review. Am happy I was not the only MewX visitor there and we have a review! 😛
Was a great show indeed… Now this was my 10th Mew show, it is starting to get difficult to distinguish the different shows. I wouldn’t call last night something that stood out to me, but I can imagine a Scottish Frenger getting ecstatic.
Had gotten a few UK friends to tag along. Friends that knew Mew as that indie band they once bumped into. One friend had a particular love for She Spider, as that was his first taste of Mew as a teenager – so having them end the main set on this particular song was well timed.Am a bit underwhelmed by the new light setup. Would love to see them combine these with projected animations. But maybe in time as the show develops.
… I was a bit drunk and sang a bit loud when Night Believer was on. That song is the silliest thing ever. Like silly in a good way. Love it <3 / But sorry to everyone who had their experience ruined by my enthusiasm 😛

Thanks man – although I think that was my 34th Mew show. Trust me when I say the geography had nothing to do with how much I loved Sunday. It was part mood, part context.
It wasn’t the best Mew show ever by any means, but it hit all the right spots for reasons that have taken half a lifetime to put together! Now, London…

My review is going to be so boring compared to this haha.

Can’t believe I used the word “frengerdom” and compared Mew to Power Rangers…

Thank you so much for sharing the experience of this show, and for the images!

Great post!! I really, really miss watching them live. I’ve watched them three times and every show was a live changing experience. The last show in my town also did not have that wondrous visual backdrop, but the lights were pretty damn amazing. I watched some Northside clips on Instagram yesterday and what you said was right, “It was a tremendous light show, like one I’ve never seen before.” :–)

I appreciate the great feedback 🙂

Well put Gina! And it was great to meet you and Ava too. 🙂
Fabulous show. I saw the show 6 years previous that Jonas referred to while onstage. Same venue…equally good.
