Visiting Northern Europe is still at the top of my to-do
list. I’ve realized there must be
something magical about this land, as so many great bands have come from its
pastures. Is it the weather? I mean, cold weather makes you remit to
your living quarters, and mixed with a little bit of leisure and creative
impetus, it’s got to produce a much rather artistic output, right?
Well, whatever it is… I’m grateful for it because it
exported great bands, like Mew, Radiohead, Bjork, Sigur Ros, Royksopp, The Hives,
The Cardigans, U2, The Knife, and the list could go on and on…
Mew was at the Dise this Wednesday. It was a night of surprises. Being the music junkie that I am, I looked at some previous set lists, so I had in mind what the show would be like. I was wrong.
The Danish covered a little bit of Frengers, Kites and No More Stories […] Of course, the
expected tracks: “Introducing
Palace Players”, “Am I Wry? No”, and “Repeaterbeater”. The unexpected?
An acoustic mash-up of “New Terrain” and “She Came Home For Christmas”
with Jonas Bjerre behind the piano; it was a gasps, sighs and forgot-to-breath
kind of moment. This time I’ll let
the videos of the show speak for themselves… Definitely a little early holiday gift
Danish style.
