New releases by members of the band

While Jon has a new one with the Waco Brothers, Lu and Steve havn’t been lazy:
For quite a while Steve Goulding has been drumming with New York City folksinger Megan Reilly. She has a new cd out called ‘the well’. The new cd is quite a step for Megan, so please give it a listen.

Lu Edmonds had been playing with Public Image Ltd. from 1986-89. In 2009 PIL was reformed and has toured both in the USA and Europe. Now PIL has released a new 4 track EP: ‘One drop’.

Mekons in Berlin

Last Saturday saw the Mekons in Berlin after an absence of 15 years. So this was a fine opportunity for some heartcore fans of the band to see them again.

In addition to the setlist they played even more songs: A requested ‘Millionaire’ and ‘Shanty’.

Pictures of the show appear on Flickr:
