Mew Tickets

This was my fourth time seeing the Danish band in Vancouver and, as usual, the band wowed the crowd. Too bad their were only a couple of hundred people there to see this show. The last time around the same venue was packed, but I think they waiting too long between tours (about 6 years). They definitely didn't lose any fans this time around and word of mouth will hopefully start to build up their North American audience again. I'm still blown away by the accuracy of their vocal harmonies and their ability to improve on their album material when playing live. They played a great mix of songs of all of their albums and the absence of their original guitarist for this tour was only slightly noticeable (and likely only by a few people), as Bo Madsen is very much a part of what makes their sound so unique. After about 1.5 hours of time changes and flowing melodies over complex rhythms, it made for quite the contrast when they strummed out the simple 4/4 extended ending of the aptly titled, 'Comforting Sounds' to end the show. Such an uplifting experience. I look forward to seeing Mew again their next time around.

I was not expecting to enjoy this show as much as I did! Mew uses a bunch of vocal synthesizers but it added to the whole mesmerizing, whimsical aura along with the projected images in the back. The show only lasted an hour, but it was well worth the wait :D

Epic...soaring....uplifting..... Mew take us to new places. Unbelievable vocals and technical excellence complimented with bizzare visual imagery. Previously seen them twice in the UK before we came to live in Ontario. Thanks for visiting Toronto Mew, hope you return!

The show was sold out at the Mod Club. It started off with a bang and continued with their gorgeous music. Nothing less than a magical experience. This is one band never to miss.

I've been looking forward to seeing my favourite band perform live for quite a while, and although this has been my first time seeing Mew live - my expectations were outmatched. A particular stand-out for the album performances are the seamless transitions between each track, and that was well-displayed in the showroom. Mew made the most out of the limited space and sound-quality (Mod Club is rather noisy and some of the sound gets drowned out). CG Animations accompanied most of the tracks in perfect juxtaposition, it brought to life the whole 'dream-pop' effect that the band surely intended to have. Whether or not you're a fan of shoegaze, soft, or progressive rock - I would say based on this show that Mew is a band for everybody. Upon my personal recommendation, they are one of the greatest bands around today that regrettably are not well-known in the Americas.

Excellent musicianship, the room resonated with harmonies. Excellent band!
