What’s not to like about The Mekons? a listening party

Between 7 and 10 Robert Elderton will spin records by The Mekons and Jon Langford while serving delicious wine, beer, cocktails, and snacks.

The Mekons were part of the UK punk explosion of 1976/1977. Based in Leeds —far from the movement's epicentre in London— meant they were outsiders from the start. Nearly 50 years later the collective is still going strong despite the fact that the ten members no longer all reside in Leeds. We'll focus in particular on founding member Jon Langford who has settled in Chicago where, as part of the Waco Brothers and Pine Valley Cosmonauts, he has become part of the alt-country scene.
