Description
They call their music Insurgent Country. - Mekons formed in Leeds, England 34 years ago in 1977. "Ancient and Modern" is their 26th album. This current classic line-up has remained intact since the mid 1980's. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Mekons bring you an "album" just like albums used to be; cardboard things filled with cheeky, chunky 78rpm shellac. Just take a look at the cover of "Ancient and Modern 1911 - 2011" and you'll know what were talking about!! Let us take you for a walk down memory lane, to the world as it was just before the First World War...to the Edwardian Era, to the Naughty Naughties a hundred years ago, a cozy nostalgic world; cricket on the village green, punting down the river in a striped blazer and boater, off with the hounds, picnic hampers, community singing, mistresses and wives, mysticism, secret societies, dangerous poetry, radical modern art, Freud, national strikes, revolution, anarchists, bombers, British concentration camps ... oops, is that really a hundred years ago?!?
