Fuelled by a love of extremes, drum machines, dirty bass-lines and angular guitars.

Having achieved, entirely without the aid of any form of corporate funding or mis-management: international airplay, hi-praise from the independant and mainstream press, The Mekano Set continue to produce (and sell-out) their own unique CD releases.

The Mekano Set is the result of nothing more than hard work, stubborness and determination.


Initially the obsession of the 'Gothic Foghorn' voiced Milk, The Mekano Set embraces an ecclectic lineup and collaborates with artists from across the globe. A nation of nomads, making music, sound, noise.

The Mekano Set, currently singing the praises of Curve, Ian Dury, Pob, Beatnik Soup, Will Ferrell, John Table, Lime and Soda, and methods of escape.

The Mekano Set features the sounds, efforts and attentions of:

Milk: voice, bass, baritone, beats.
Lee Christien: electric 12 string guitar.
Sahara Ezzi: bass, vocals.
Beth Garfield Rettig (Blindness): vocals, sampled flute, acoustic guitar, fx, baked goods and immoral support.
Nigel (John Table / Frosty Clump): guitar, synth, live loopage and humours.
Jo Staples (appearing as herself): mellodika, cello, megaphone, Casio VL Tone, Rhodes, artistic mis-direction.
Patrick Saint Patrick: bass, Dublin Bass, sensibilities.

Ruse23: DJ / noises / loops.
Ania (T.S.R / Songs from the Shows): drums, drum-stick guitar.
Austin (The Stuns): guitars.

Catherine Madden: Security and Sensibilities.
Amber: Our US Rep.


The Mekano Set like Curve, New Order, The Chameleons, Talk Talk, Crystal Castles, Improv, Reverse-Reverb, Beats and Basslines.
