Live Review: Mew at the Fillmore, 04/06/07

Danish prog-rockers are go!: Aidin Vaziri | It's probably been a while since the FIllmore has seen a band like Mew. Playing against a psychedelic reel of violin-playing cats and sad-eyed puppets with enormous human lips, at its sold-out Fillmore show on Friday the Danish band defied description with a set that was part prog revival, part symphonic space jam, and all goosebump inducing greatness. Working its way through most of the songs from its two belatedly released American albums, 2003's Frengers and 2005's And The Glass Handed Kites, the group rocked inexplicably hard considering, 1) The guitar player has a mustache, 2) Frontman Jonas Bjerre sings like a 14-year-old girl, and 3) Their tunes have totally ridiculous titles like "Circuitry of the Wolf" and "Am I Wry? No." We won't even mention the frizzy haired keyboard player who is most likely a closet Yes fan. Someone get them a stadium and a proper laser light show, pronto!
