    "It's been 3 years since my last live Mew experience, so to say this was overdue was an understatement. You can take your flamboyant front men with their giant "once you see it once, you'll see it at every gig, and it'll lose it's novelty" hamster ball crowd participation gimmick, and role them straight back over the Atlantic. Tonight there was only one band in London worth seeing: MEW! It was one one of the most sublime, atmospheric, note perfect and beautiful gigs I've ever been too. The sound was spot on, and the visuals that juxtaposed the bands experimental Indie-Pop were just incredible. Yes, they are my favourite band in the world, but honestly, as musicians they are phenomenal. It was a well balanced set, with classics such as Special, 156, Snow Brigade, Zookeeper's Boy, Defenders of Jazz, Am I Wry? No, as well as new favourites, Repeater Beater, Introducing Palace Palyers, Sometimes Life Isn't Easy, to name a few. They could have played any of their songs tonight and it would have always been amazing. There was only ever going to be one song to end on, and Comforting Sounds closed the evening. Perfect. Just perfect."
