About me:


Meze Lounge is an independent student friendly venue situated in the city of Newport.

Just a short walk from the main High Street shops, perfect for taking a break to enjoy a spot of lunch or chatting with friends over a coffee.

During the evening Meze Lounge transforms itself into a musical extravaganza, coming to life and hosting club night's which boast the cream of local bands and Dj's to suit everyone's taste, aswell as bringing you talent from across the globe.

We stand alone but proud at offering the cheapest drinks offers in the city of Newport, whilst putting on top class entertainment.

Choose from one of our many 2 4 1 cocktails as you watch a live Jazz band. Or rock out on the dance floor and go crazy during happy hour with bottled beer's being only a £1 (selected nights).

What ever the bank balance you can be sure, when you decide to eventually leave.

Meze Lounge packs more punch for your pound.

"I don’t have to tell you things are bad, everybody knows things are bad: It’s a depression! Everybody’s out of work, or scared of losing their job; the dollar buys a nickel’s worth; banks are going bust; shop-keepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street; nobody anywhere seems to know what to do and there’s no end to it! We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. We sit watching our TVs whilst some local newscaster tells us that “today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes” as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be! We know things are bad, worse than bad: they’re crazy! It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore! We sit in the house and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller and all we say is “please, at least leave us alone in our living-rooms - let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything! Just leave us alone!” Well I’m not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don’t want you to protest, I don’t want you to write, I don’t want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write, I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street – all I know is that first you’ve got to get mad! You’ve got to say “I’m a human being goddammit! My life has value!” So, I want you to get up now, I want all of you to get up out of your chairs! I want you to get up right now, and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!"

Incoming…

THE AUTUMN DEFENSE (two members of WILCO) + PLUSH (Liam Hayes)
Sunday 7th September @ Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff


The Autumn Defense is a collaboration between Wilco/Uncle Tupelo bassist John Stirratt and Wilco multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone who has also produced records for the likes of Andrew Bird and Joseph Arthur. They have released 3 albums of beautifully arranged, organic, wispy folk-rock and singer-songwriter musings.

"Comfort music for the soul...” UNCUT ****
"never less than utterly gorgeous" THE WORD
"reference points include Nick Drake and CSN, Bread, Big Star and the essence of Love, Steely Dan and a dozen others" MOJO ****
"edifying and beautifully textured" DAILY MIRROR ****
"soft rock at it's most elegant." TIME OUT
"Soft, dreamy and bittersweet” WASHINGTON POST
"Warming, gorgeous and delightful” DAVID FRICKE, SENIOR EDITOR, ROLLING STONE


Liam Hayes appeared as himself in High Fidelity and his band Plush's long lost masterpiece 'Fed' is currently receiving rave reviews across the music press including 5/5 in Uncut, 4/5 in Mojo, Q, Plan B, NME 8/10 etc. A regular collaborator, he has also worked with Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy), appearing on keyboards across the Palace era output, and also played on records by Royal Trux.

"Fed is beautifully excessive, ornamented with dazzling soul/pop arrangements. And the songs are glorious..." UNCUT *****
"A banquet of sonic gorgeousness" NME 8/10
"Fed is something of a lost classic" MOJO ****
"Fed can be finally heard as a testament to Hayes's widescreen obsessions" Q ****
"Perfect takes time" PLAN B
“a soulful symphonic masterpiece” ROLLING STONE


A pretty decent amount of superlatives there for just £9 (adv.) Get your tickets from www. clwb. net, Spillers (Cardiff) or Diverse (Newport)

Thank you for being our friend!
ANTHASYUM - hard rock teens

"Anthasyum well rewarded those who'd stayed to hear some new music... With an obvious classic rock influence to the guitar sound; a singer whose influences range from Lita Ford to Pink (and I'm sure there's some Siouxie Sioux in there) plus a drummer who knows when to keep it simple and when to get creative, Anthasyum has a distinctive sound but one which is firmly rooted in classic rock. One out for which to watch." - ROCK SOCIETY magazine
