MEW IN CONCERT:

 

Danish band Mew mixes arena-ready hooks with dreamy atmospherics to create an infectious sound that gets everyone in attendance rocking. On miniature epics like “Am I Wry? No”, “Special”, and “Making Friends”, the band expertly moves through complex passages and doles out larger-than-life riffs that keep ticket buyers headbanging throughout the night. Lead singer Jonas Bjerre adds pristine tenor vocals and beautiful melodies to perfectly complement the pummeling power and heady atmospherics of the rest of the group. Mew consistently floors audiences around the world with their stunning light shows and flawless musicianship, offering an unparalleled aural and visual experience whenever they tour.

 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

 

Formed in the Hellerup suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark, Mew has been a major factor in sowing the seeds of indie rock in their native country since 1994. After gigging around Copenhagen for a few years, the adventurous quartet of Jonas Bjerre (vocals), Johan Wohlert (bass), Silas Utke Graae Jorgensen (drums), and Bo Madsen (guitar) released their 1997 debut album A Triumph for Man. The band burst onto the international scene in 2003 with the album Frengers, winning praise for their combination of operatic production and rock and roll power. Though Wohlert left amicably in 2006 to spend more time with his growing family, the group soldiered on as a trio for 2009’s No More Stories Today…, which embraced a more dance-oriented production style. The bassist returned to the fold in time for their 2015 album + -, though guitarist Madsen subsequently departed. As a three piece, the band continues to rock arenas around the world with their trademark combination of winning hooks, stunning musicianship, and amazing showmanship.

    Nothing Like the MEW - Live Experience!

    by moodygina on 12/1/09Trocadero - Philadelphia

    I've seen MEW a few times in the past, but this show at the Troc on November 30th was probably one of their best out of the performances I've seen. Although there was a bit of an issue with the sound initially, the band overcame it, and they blazed through their hits without stop. Although they did perform a few from their latest, No More Stories.... the focus tended to be on prior releases such as Frengers and And the Glass Handed Kites. While I love most everything MEW releases, I have to say I would have loved to hear some more from the latest release. Still, the few that they did play, Repeaterbeater, Beach, and Hawaii to name a few came off beautifully. MEW is a band that really is hard to describe, while they are not alternative, they are truly and alternative to everything that exist out there today in the world of popular music. They have a lush sound, almost like that of an orchestra but in fact they are a band made up of 3 with 2 other accompanying players. The richness in their sound fills up a small space and just floats in the air, and in a big space it is the same without losing the intimacy of the performance. Jonas Bjerre' s voice is just too fantastic to describe. Calling it beautiful sounds a bit bland, but the fact is, he truly has a beautiful voice. But MEW is only as good as the sum of its parts and their drummer Silas, and guitarist Bo Madsen, support Jonas greatly on the musical journey that his voice takes the listener on. All and all a great night and a great show. No Frenger (what MEW calls its fans) left unhappy, and no new comer could have possibly left without being moved. I'm just so happy that they came back to the US. When they stop touring, they stop for a long time. So, I was grateful for this show in my home town, and I'm doubly grateful that they are playing NYC this weekend, so I'll get to see them again.
