About Me |

New album, Natural, available August 21 through Quarterstick Records View the Mekons E-card to watch the "Harden High" Video and hear more songs from Natural. The Mekons were born to punk parents from the belly of rock’n’roll 25 albums and 30 long and hard years ago. These twisted folk have laughed more laughs, cried more tears and writ more tunes than you can shake a stick at whilst building a reputation as one of the very best live bands on the planet. Now the sinnin' and prayin' mekons return to their UK roots for 3 very special 30th anniversary concerts.“the mekons have earned a reputation for the best live show around- an out of control party bursting with razor sharp wit and bouncy, rubber band rock. They're the best kept secret in rock’n’roll and you'll love 'em.” Interview magazine. recent reviews- www.concertlivewire.com |

Music:Member Since: 2/2/2006Band Website: mekons.com Band Members: Jon - vocals, guitar Tom - vocals, guitar Sally - vocals Rico - vocals,accordion Sarah -bass Lu - oud,saz Steve - drums Susie - fiddle Sounds Like: The Mekons are more than a band and more than a bunch of cracking musicians who play in various other bands. Throughout their history they have worked collaboratively and collectively with everything credited to the band, never to individuals. Their mind boggling output consistently blurs the lines between high art and low and has included exhibitions in the UK and US, a deranged musical recorded and staged with Kathy Acker and several books including the unique “Mekons United” surely the best tome ever published by, or about, a band. And, without ever being a comedy act, they are also very very funny to boot. “Here’s to a band who have it all: tunes, creativity, humour, politics, brains, reliability, sex appeal.... as their musicianship has deepened they have only made the old stuff sound better.” Village Voice. Record Label: Quarterstick,Touch and Go Type of Label: Indie |
