mueros

right a bit of a chronological confusion last night so this is now an edited/corrected version….

Its taken nearly 2 months to get around to writing this post, but hey, things happen in the real world too.

I think we left off somewhere around brussels, in the middle of the whole thing, then things got more intense, messy and interesting, which are probably 3 words that would quite adequately describe mueros, so it all fits together.

So after Brussels we crossed another border to get to Tilburg, bit of a revelation really, well received, well fed, well watered by Jan and the crew at cul de sac, nothing really bad to say about this gig to be honest a few hiccups here and there. Even our friend Baz from Utrecht came over specially to see us which was fantastic. A late night, much drinking, partying, all good.

We managed to blag a filler gig in tournai, thanks to eric from maria goretti quartet the day after – more beer…. too much beer to be honest.

And finally Paris…. ah Paris, cramped streets, stressed out van logistics, certain members of the crew deciding not to sleep at all, but otherwise good. Sharing the bill with fellow niçois Hannah (fantastic show, and good to meet up in such exotic climes) and Zumabrek. We did ok for a first show in paris, good energy.

So thanks to everyone who helped and received us so cordially during the tour no room to mention names here so you all know who you are.

And of course a huge thanks to our tour companions Plimplim (live sound, opening sets wherever possible) and Steph Coda (video and lighting wherever possible).

In conclusion? …well it seems so long ago now i have evidently forgotten tons of details so i hope you enjoy the photos and the mp3 and can try to imagine the rest…. i’m sure the others will add their 3pence worth over the next few weeks. Steph is beavering away at the 23 hours of footage taken over the 2 week period, i’m sure there’ll be some fruits of his work to be seen soon.

well we ain’t any richer than we were before, and we don’t really care, onwards and upwards, that which does not kill us can only make us stronger – any questions?

Here’s an mp3 of ‘traces’ live at Nantes from the only audio recording of the tour:

Have a good 2010 everyone, watch this space….

love & peace

here it is, une belle affiche, as they say round here, gonna be a big night that one.

on the occasion of the opening of the ‘deltour design’ furniture shop in marseilles, mueros made a rare appearance as a duo (2 x guitars plus drum machine/space echo/noise) supporting dj xxx at the machine à coudre.

à l’occasion de l’ouverture du magasin « deltour design » à marseilles, mueros s’est exceptionnellement produit en duo (2 guitares + drum machine + space echo + noise) en appui de dj xxx à « la machine à coudre ».

much was drunk, much noise was improvised, and here are some photos taken by pascale (animal vacarme) during the show.

alcool, bruits et improvisation ; voici quelques photos prises par pascale (animal vacarme) pendant le concert.

many thanks, un grand merci, to everyone at the ‘machine à coudre’ (lovely people) and ‘deltour design’ (lovely people too for that matter).

peace and love (as ever) to you all.
