Me Rex

Event information

Oh yes, Divine Schism are bringing ME REX back to Oxford for a matinee show at Common Ground on Sun 15th March - get on it! Always a joy to host, we're excited to welcome our indie heart-rock pals Myles, Phoebe and Rich Mandell to town hot on the heels of some new music in January!

Based in London and Brighton, the band have carved a distinct niche for themselves over the course of two double EPs and one shuffle album and continued to evolve with their blend of introspective lyricism, “surging, gargantuan hooks” and soundscapes. ME REX defy genre boundaries and typical song structures, while touching on themes of friendship, forgiveness, loss and joy wrapped in sweeping metaphors of alchemy and mythology. Across the bands catalogue they weave in influences taken from art and lore, from the idea of “Comets as harbingers of change and gateways to other realms” to ancient foundational narratives and their real-world reflections, managing to shape them into something closer to modern humanity.

Doors at 3pm with music soon after - all ages and wheelchair accessible show at Common Ground on Sun 15th March - on sale now and more line-up details soon!
