I only saw them once in the 90 s in Central Park and one of the things I regret about not being in the U.S any more is being able to catch them this time round. Try to find these albums: "Honky Tonkin", "The Mekons Rock and Roll", "The curse of the Mekons", and I hear their last one, "natural" is very good, though much more acoustick-y. Do they make a living? I would think so, although a modest one. I felt ambivolous about posting this album because of that, but if it results in you or anyone buying one of their albums or going to a show to support them, it was worth it! For some really good live recordings of the Mekons, go here:<BR/>http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Mekons%22<BR/><BR/>Thanks again and keep writing,<BR/><BR/>JuanJuan Duquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283289921019455056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303664.post-39672853467519660492008-04-29T12:34:00.000-05:002008-04-29T12:34:00.000-05:00thanks for this post. i've heard of this band coun...thanks for this post. i've heard of this band countless times, but only now have i heard their music. it is terrific. the arrangements are very interesting-much more creative than any alt. country i've heard. i will catch them playing here in the u.s.- that is, if its too late. lets see: the post is from february, and now april is almost over. thanks again. if you have any other mekons recommendations i am eager to hear them. do the mekons make a living off their music?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303664.post-41048966518452137452008-02-07T06:08:00.000-05:002008-02-07T06:08:00.000-05:00Link fixed now, thanks again for a great post.Link fixed now, thanks again for a great post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303664.post-4774406635983911402008-02-06T08:53:00.000-05:002008-02-06T08:53:00.000-05:00Thanks for letting me know - I`ll try to fix it wh...Thanks for letting me know - I`ll try to fix it when i get home tonight!!Juan Duquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283289921019455056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303664.post-88150705761161986252008-02-06T03:35:00.000-05:002008-02-06T03:35:00.000-05:00Fear and Whiskey link dead already.
