FINALLY! I've been waiting on pins and needles for the faintest hint that Mew might be heading back stateside for a new US tour, and that happy day has at last arrived. Yes, as Filter reported, they'll be back for a club tour (heaven!) in March and April.
I had the extraordinary good fortune to see Mew open for Bloc Party at McCarren Park Pool last summer. And thank goodness for that! They quickly became one of my favorite discoveries of the last year, and certainly my most favorite band of Danes. The interplay of the delicate tenor and the quasi-prog rock that backs it is intense, unusual and totally engrossing within seconds. Check out their album, And The Glass Handed Kites for proof. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. Now go get tickets and see how incredibly well it translates live.
