About / À propos
hello
this site is dedicated to the activities (adventures) of mueros, and any sub-phrases, additional chapters, appendixes or parallel universes that may also be related to them.
mueros is band in case you were wondering or hadn’t worked it out yet.
it was created in 2004 by a dispossessed englishperson and a disenfranchised frenchperson as they propped up a bar in nice.
mueros is currently chris (mostly guitars and singing), eric (mostly drums), matthieu (mostly guitars and singing) and philippe (mostly bass).
the common need to make music that mattered and that gave a shit has led to them making a number of concerts in nice, bordeaux, toulouse, budapest etc, and a number of recordings to whit:
‘zero’ (2006),
‘le temps des cerises’ (2007)
[you can buy them here somewhere],
another album is on the way (soon) and a tour to follow. [watch this space, as they say].
mueros has collaborated on theatre productions ( ‘norway today’ theatre national de nice) with dancers (miss wata) and with filmmakers (stef coda), and is naturally open to all kinds of collaborations with artists where a common passion can communicate and move people without recourse to stupid words like these.
members of mueros also constitute a part of the excellent folk/prog/pop/dub/punk group animal vacarme, when they get a site up we’ll post a link here, for the moment there is only a myspace, its here, we’ll post news related to animal vacarme here too, so if you’ve read this you’ll know why.
the site is essentially a wordpress blog you can make your own if you look here (www.wordpress.org), the visual aspect is based on the gridfocus theme by Derek Punsalan 5thirtyone.com, the wonderful photos where taken by stef coda during the only live performance, to date of ‘le temps des cerises’.
we know nothing of the world wide web and how it works and so are grateful to all our friends who have helped and advised in this endeavour, notably loic who has webmastered the site since its creation.
also andrew dubber’s www.newmusicstrategies.com site has been a mine of useful and intelligent information, as it could be for you if you need that kind of thing.
if you need technical info about mueros (presspack, technical rider, stage plan) click here.
if you want to contact us or just say hi you can do it here.
we are open to all interesting concert bookings, propositions or commissions or collaborations so if you’re up for it, contact us here.
we don’t have a manager or an agent or whatever – we manage fine without, everything takes time but at least it all happens on a direct personal basis, this is what matters the most to us.
our myspace is here if you need it.
and we twitter here.
our music will not make the world a better place, but wouldn’t it be nice if it did?
please feel free to leave comments wherever you can or want to on this site – we do listen, and we really need to know what people think, when we do our thing we’re caught in the eye of a storm and objectivity is the last thing that manifests itself….
