Bio
The Mekons est un groupe de punk rock britannique, originaire de Leeds, Yorkshire de l'Ouest, en Angleterre. Formé en 1977, il s'agit de l'un des groupes les plus prolifiques et endurants de la première vague punk. Il est également l'un des grands emblèmes de l'éthique do it yourself. Dans les années 1980, le groupe change d'orientation pour produire une musique plus élaborée, incorporant notamment des éléments de folk et, surtout, de country, saluée par la critique.

The Mekons (stylized as mekons) are a British post-punk band formed in 1976 as an art collective. They are one of the longest-running and most prolific of the first-wave British punk rock bands. Although the Mekons' lineup has changed from time to time over the years, the core line-up includes Jon Langford (vocals, guitar), Sally Timms (vocals), Tom Greenhalgh (vocals, guitar) and Susie Honeyman (violin).
The band's style has evolved over time to incorporate aspects of country music, folk music, alternative rock and occasional experiments with dub. They are well known for their exuberant live performances.
