thiiiiiiis close.
thats how close we are to being done mixing our new record. patrick’s been in LA all week, going over details and putting the icing on the cake with our producer, The Bev-Train. before he met us he was just a regular rock-n-roller named Sean Beavan- but as he has proven, no one spends 4 months with meese and stays the same. ANYWAYS, its sounding great and we all want to get into your hands SO bad- trust us. we’re working on it.

if you live in denver, you’ll have the opportunity to catch some meese in unconventional ways at the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase this weekend. patrick is playing drums with the band ‘Dust On The Breakers’ and nathan is playing a solo set and also doing a couple of tunes with josh novak. goto dpums.com for more info and set times and all that. congrats to hearts of palm, ian cooke, d.biddle and all the rest of our denver friends who placed on the post’s top underground list. hurrah!

mike’s going to radiohead in chicago this weekend, lets all be jealous.

ok, bye.

7/21/08 - “mile music festival” a haiku by nathan meese

Monday, July 21st, 2008

“on hot lawns of grass
we cooked and burned sizzled
rock and roll lived on”

what a weekend. we were so pleased to be able to play the first ever mile high music festival… especially being the first band to open up the main stage. we were lucky enough to play infront of thousands of beautiful people so early on saturday that we could check out all of the other great bands. Andrew Bird was amazing, OAR puts on a great show and, of course, tom petty killed it as i imagine he always does. what an experience.

thanks to those of you who were able to make it out. to those that weren’t able to come, fear not, we’re currently planning our next assault on the rocky mountan region and can’t wait to keep you up too late and make your ear rings with sweet sweet sweet.

7/15/08 - you vs. me vs. everything

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

hi. its been a week, thought i’d check in and see how everyone was doing.
soooo, how are you? good, good. how are we? we’re great! we’re having our first rehearsals in what seems like forever getting ready for the mile high music festival. we’re trying to cope with this unbearably hot and sweaty month the french call ‘juliette’ (i think) by bbq-ing, seeing friends & family, bike riding, golf ball hitting, ping pong battling, and lawn mowing/watering (ben).

we’re beginning to get mixes back of the songs and i as usual, i can’t say enough good things about them. things are starting to mold, the paint is starting to dry and a beautiful landscape of rock n roll is beginning to take shape in front of our very ears. can’t wait for you to hear it.

alright, off to see FEIST! woooo!

7/7/08 - a match and some kerosene

HOME!
DONE!
WOO!
hey everyone! let it be known that on july 2nd in the year 2008, the band MEESE finished tracking for their first major label album (this is the part where you start clapping) … thank you thank you! thats right people - the miles of this endless, winding, country road of an album are beginning to dwindle and a finished record is in sight. after driving back and forth between LA 6 times, eating pounds and pounds of orange chicken, and being able to officially call ourselves ‘recording artists’ we can finally conisder ourselves out of the rubble. its attainable. its undeniable. its so tasty. now we’re back home in denver, exercising off the pounds of hot dogs and potato chips we all ingested this past weekend whist watching fire works and laughing with friends. orange chicken, hot dogs, potato chips. i’m hungry.

for you colorado-ians, we got our set time / stage locale for the mile high music festival and i’ll be honest: its pretty dope. we are the first band on the main stage of the whole festival! we play on saturday july 19th at 12:30 (thats noon-thirty) on the San Disk MAIN STAGE so be sure to get there early enough to get meesed. plus tom petty’s playing on that same stage later on that night so, holy crap. go here for the skinny: www.milehighmusicfestival.com

as usual, we’re working hard here behind the scenes in the hopes to give you all the meese your ears can handle. can’t wait for you guys to hear the new stuff. talk to you soon..
