The Meanies have today released a new single and will be celebrating it with a run of shows in late October/early November.
Recorded 25 years ago by Shane O’Mara at his studio Yikesville, Shutdown is seeing the light of day for the very first time. It’s not your average bear as far as The Meanies usual sound goes, but hey, a change is as good as a holiday, and they can’t afford one of those right now.
Link says, “‘Shutdown‘ is sonically The Meanies at their sexiest. Bono would say ‘this record has hips’ to which I’d reply, ‘piss off Bono you pretentious twat’. You can dance to this one. I can’t, I’m a terrible dancer.”
