Mew are on a well-deserved tour break once again. The shows in North America ended last Monday in Los Angeles (setlist below) and during this tour – surprisingly – almost every show had Louise Louisa as the last track played when Comforting Sounds has been completely absent. Mew are also playing summer festivals in 2010.…

Metro (Chicago, Illinois, December 7th) On Mew’s latest visit to the States, they made a return to the Windy City. One would think that Mew have grown quite familiar with the frengers of Chicago: this being their fourth show in the city since the No More Stories -era began. These dates consists of two support…

Two shows in Finland have just been announced. House of Culture and Pakkahuone fit under 3000 attendees together, so the shows are going to be much more intimate than the Old Ice Hall (that fit 4500 alone). Mew have played gigs in both venues before. They performed two shows at Helsinki’s House of Culture in…

Jonas Bjerre’s favourite comedies are as follows: “Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there?”…

As has been hinted before, Mew are returning to Scandinavia for live shows as soon as next February. They have just finished their Nordic tour a week ago, so the break will be very short.

Jonas Bjerre’s side project Apparatjik have finally released something official. Sure, they released Ferreting a year ago, but we don’t know if it’s going to be featured on the upcoming album or was it just for the charity album. Apparently Electric Eye is going to be on the yet untitled upcoming record that may or…

A few weeks ago we asked Jonas Bjerre to name some of his favourite movies of all time from various genres. The list was quite numerous, so we’re gonna post these titles in SEVEN parts starting with drama (comedy is up next). Click on the titles to get more details from IMDb… “I am not…

Cirkus (Stockholm, November 23rd) Old Ice Hall (Helsinki, November 25th) These two shows could not have been any different from each other. The show in Stockholm was relaxed and was held in an absolutely beautiful venue. Cirkus is a round-shaped theater- and concert hall which suited perfectly for Mew. It can be found from the…

Most of us got to see and hear a medley of Mica, Saliva and Panda live during the And the Glass Handed Kites -tour. It was also featured on the Live In Copenhagen -dvd. Now Mew have come up with a new medley with New Terrain, Nervous (!!!) and She Came Home For Christmas. Like…
