June 2012
Eager as a new or young band, anxious to play its very first show. That's how we all feel, after a (half-forced) 8 months break. We all look forward to hit the stage(s) again, and finally get some new songs out. We're happy to announce our very first shows of 2012. Heads up, we're back!
May 2012
Contrary to what some believe, we're still alive & kicking. Well, at least 4 of the 5 M*E*S-members are 'kicking'. Our drummer Brahim is still recovering from his 2nd knee-operation (yeah, a knee is an essential part of the body when it comes to playing the drums, so we were told...). We hope he will be behind his drumkit again to rock out with us asap.
This isn't exactely the most exciting period in the history of M*E*S, but thanx for all the support Brahim/we received lately!
And before we forget; we just launched a bandcamp thingie... Seems like this is quite a useful tool, so here it is: http://m-e-s.bandcamp.com
In our next update, we will announce the shows for this summer, we're all looking forward to play our first show since November last year!!

April 2012
Alright, we stick to our intentions to update this at least once every month... Unfortunately, not with the update we initially wanted to give (new shows etc)...
Brahim - our beloved drummer - hurt his knee badly, which makes it quite impossible for him to drum to our partyhardy skankin' punky beats. As amusing (well...) as rehearsing with virtual drumloops prove to be, we hope our brother will fully recover soon!
Bassplayerwise, Maarten managed to learn around 15 songs in a few weeks time.
We hope to play our very first shows of 2012 somewhere around July...

MARCH 2012
Het is al 'n paar maanden stil rond M*E*S. In november 2011 speelden we onze laatste show, en eind januari startten we met de voorbereidingen van ons nieuwe album, de opvolger van 'Wild As Angels'. We hebben dus geenszins stil gezeten, al hebben we in tussentijd nog een kleine verandering aan onze line-up doorgevoerd. Brecht, die ons een jaar lang van fijne baslijntjes voorzag, meerde af als bemanningslid van ons piratenschip. Graag willen we Brecht hierbij bedanken & veel suxxes toewensen!
Gelukkig kwamen we net in die aanmeerperiode iemand tegen die ook vorig jaar even in de running was om bassist bij ons fijn(zinnig) orkestje te worden. Helaas verhinderde tijdsgebrek dat toen, maar nu kunnen we toch met veel tromgeroffel, confetti en slingers onze nieuwste aanwinst Maarten voorstellen. Met deze gemotiveerde kickass bassplayer aan boord, zetten we de voorbereidingen voor ons derde full-album verder.
Binnenkort maken we onze eerste showtjes voor 2012 bekend, met uiteraard de eerste show waar we onze nieuwe aanwinst officieel opnemen in de M*E*S-family en -hopelijk- ook al 'n voorproefje van het nieuwe album kunnen laten horen.
Cheers,
Bjorn, Qrizz, Jonez, Brahim, Maarten aka M*E*S
Loooooong time since you heard anything about the M*E*S-punx, right?
It's been a few months since we've played our last show (November 2011). At the end of January, we started writing new stuff for our next album, the successor of 'Wild As Angels'. In the meantime, a small change in our line-up had to be realized. Brecht, who provided us with some damn fine basslines since February 2011, moored off from our 'lil pirate ship. We hereby would like to thank Brecht for everything & wish him all the best!
Lucky for us, Maarten stepped forward as our new bassplayer. We're both proud and excited to have this motivated, kickass bassplayer aboard.
Soon we'll announce our first shows of 2012, including the first show with Maarten on bass, and hopefully some new songs of the upcoming album.
Cheers,
Bjorn, Qrizz, Jonez, Brahim, Maarten aka M*E*S

* 2012 *
Alright! Now Qrizz is back from his adventurous journey through Central-America, it's time to pick up where we left off!
We've been listening to the demo-session we've recorded last year.
These (nine) songs actually sound quite OK, taking in consideration that we've only spent a few hours recording this. Most of these songs were included in our setlist loooong time ago. So no 'new-new'-stuff, but with so many ideas floating around in our rehearsal room, we should have some more songs ready in a few weeks time. As soon as this stuff is molded into songs, we'll start to think of recording them for 'real', for our 3rd full album.
We strongly believe this could be the best stuff we've ever written (just a feeling though, based upon the crazy dancemoves that were expressed by certain bandmembers while listening to the first demos...). Hopefully all things will work out fine, so that we can present you this album somewhere around late-mid-2012.
2012... Besides the fact that this world is goin' to hell (if we can take the Maya's predictions for granted...), this is also a special year for M*E*S. It's been 10 years since we've resurrected this band. In May 2002, we started rehearsing again after a 2 years break, playing our first 'new' show in October 2002. And the train kept on rollin' ever since. We haven't decided yet if we're going to celebrate this, but if you know the M*E*S-keteers/partyharders a little bit, well, chances are that there might be some crazy fucked up birthday-show-party to remember this.
Let's talk shows; we had to cancel a few of our upcoming shows (sorry 'bout this, we hope we can make up for this some time later). There was also a short stint in Russia in the works, but one that fell through... for now. Hopefully we can rock Moscow some other time!!! First shows of 2012 will be announced shortly.
Have a Great & Rockin' 2012, see you around!!

Last announcement for 2011
We finished off with some cool shows in Waregem & Deinze... Great to end 2011 like this! Thanx to everyone who was there!!
This weekend, the pre-production for the new album has started, which means 'demos for the new album' in case you're unfamiliar with 'pre-production' :)
In other news, guitarplayer Qrizz is leaving Belgium for a while, he's gonna tour around Central-America, and will perform a few shows on his own (& with guests) around Guatemala & Mexico. Whenever he's back, M*E*S will pick up where we left off, and will start gigging again... Some cools shows will be announced after New Year, so stay tuned!
We secretly hope to record the new album during the Spring of 2012... we're really, really excited about the new songs!
Bye Bye For Now!!

Final Shows of 2011 / beginning of 2012
This weekend we will be playing our last shows of 2011 & beginning of 2012. We'll play 2 shows on Nov. 12th: we'll be rocking the ROCKVLUCHT-festival in Waregem (17h30), and next up is the 'SNOW MUST GO ON'-benefit show in JC Brieljant, Deinze. Cool to have 2 shows to end with, near our hometown(s)...
After these shows, we'll start the pre-production of our next album, and head into hibernation.
Besides the recording & release of our 3rd full album, there's some interesting stuff going to happen in 2012, but more 'bout that after New Year!
Hope to see you around in Waregem/Deinze!
