The band from which I "borrowed" the name of my blog will be gracing the city of Portland with a show on Tuesday night at the Aladdin Theater, being billed as "A Quiet Night In With the Mekons". This means that they will be sitting for most of the show, from accounts I've read so far, and mixing in choice cuts from their recent, acoustic-based album Natural with classic tracks from their 30-year career.
Added good news is the fact that the Sadies will be opening, also doing an acoustic set. Perhaps we will be lucky enough for Mekon Jon Langford to sit in with the openers and sing a song or two from the great album that they recorded together a few years ago, Mayors Of The Moon.
The 25th anniversary show they played at Berbati's back in 2002 was great, and all indications are that it will be another great night of music, one of which I will eagerly partake of. With the fact that the band members are living in various scattered quarters of the world, there's no guarantee they'll ever tour again together, or even make another record, so enjoy them while you can.
