THE
MEKANO SET CAN NEVER GO HOME
“John Peel would have loved them” DJ Cruelbritania.
"Slick spiky electronic rock that screams darkness beneath a seemingly delicate exterior." Natasha Scharf, Metal Hammer.
"Impressive and compelling stuff." Meatbreak.
"Filthy electro-rock..." Niall O'Keeffe.
"Seedily attractive, smooth, impressively catchy, seething power..." Mick Mercer.
"Delicate, filthy, post coital purr." Bubblegum Slut.
"Brilliant bass heavy 80's noise." Time Out London.
"Don't Eat The Sweets is an incredible track with great vocal harmony and beautifully structured layers of guitar and drums to really lure you into the mood to party." Hidden Sanctuary Radio.
"The Mekano set’s sound is of 80’s shoegaze bought bang up to date with big beats, unusual and totally fucked up guitar sound and an incessant hypnotic bass line." DJ Wild Bill Buttock.
"I used to get angry when I'd read about wealthy, established wankers claiming to 'suffer for their art'... These ungrateful puppets should be fucking ashamed of themselves. They're not artists. They're not making art. They're making product. They might as well be selling fucking toothpaste. I wish they would.
"It's all so easy these days. To form a band. To sound pretty close to your favourite band. It's far to easy to signify rebellion, anger, newness, all that bollocks.
"What's
so rebellious about making sounds that everyone else makes, using the
same expensive NAME BRAND equipment, same fucking hair and clothes. It's
so safe they may as well not get out of bed at all.
"If your music is so subversive and stuff, how come people can go into a shop and buy it? Semtex is dangerous, they don't stock that in HMV. The music industry is dying because it deserves to die. Fucking die."
"This isn't poetry. This isn't a soundtrack for affluent men to get angry about how cruel life can be (for other people)."
The Mekano Set are a "wilfully independent underground band".
Some of their passions include Situationism, G.I. Gurdjieff, Curve, Public Image Limited, Hawkwind, Magazine, Michael Moorcock, and Grant Morrisson.
