hey party people.

this is nathan, thought i’d catch you up on the recent goings on in the band named after my family.
we’ve been in california recording our new album on and off (mostly on) for the past two months and all i have to say is i hope that you have seat belts securely fastened for the first time you listen to it. because if you don’t theres a good chance that you could get thrown from wherever you happen to be. its that rocking. its that shaking. its that moving.

out of the 16 songs that we’ve recorded, 16 of them have came out great. we’re currently recording pat’s vocals and his voice is a dripping honey comb of sweetness. seriously. i knew he had “chops” but this is out of control! he sounds great. so thats what pat’s up to. here’s a run down of the rest of the band:

MIKE: mastered the online game “magic pen” by having visions in his sleep on how to beat really hard levels. has also seen several movie stars including that one guy from the 1st season of lost who gets blown up from the TNT outside of the boat “the black rock” in the season finale.

BEN: has read 3 books from the wheel of time series, utilized the video chat components on his computer and has consumed atleast 10 pounds of orange chicken since the beginning of may.

and me? i’ve grown a great big bushy beard and have become addicted to jambaa juice (original size coldbuster, no sherbet, sub bananas, green caffeine boost - try it sometime its amazing.)

so that’s whats going on with us. we miss all of you and can’t wait to get some shows lined up to rock your face into the next town over. the album’s taking shape and it’s living up to our grueling and outrageous expectations that we have set in place for ourselves with the hopes of giving all of you music to live and love to for the next couple years of your lives.

talk to you soon and forgive all of my run-on sentences.
-nathan-

it is finally sunny in LA. and hot. here is a rundown of what we’ve been up to:

1) playing a VIDEO GAME where you kill zombies
2) recording the sweetest GUITAR TONESthese old ears have ever heard
3) eating the best CHINESE FOOD of all time
4) getting more and more excited to release a RECORD

hugs,
ben

long ago in the 1980’s, our trusty singer and songwriter patrick meese was born in cleveland ohio on this 8th day of may. yadda yadda he would soon grow up to be the crazy dude we know and love today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT! may you have many more.

also meese-crew b-day shout outs to Joe Richmond and James Dean back home in denver. miss you boys.

we’ve begun recording again and things are moving just as they should be: smoothly and tastily. we’ll give you more when we get it.

hey.
so after taking a week and a half off from recording to play two awesome shows in our home-state of colorado, we’re ready to head back to la-la-land to finish what we started- our new record.
thanks to everyone that came out to the fox theatre last night and also to everyone who came out to UNC to see us. those two shows were just the kick in the pants we needed.
so as usual, stay tuned and we’ll keep letting you know whats up…
bon voyage.
