June 2013
We have two shows lined up for June, both of them festival-shows (one in Aalst, the other one in our 'hometown' Wetteren).
March 2013
We finally have our EP ready! It took us more time than estimated due to circumstances (won't bother you with the details) but we proudly present you the first track of the new EP. In the next following days/weeks, we'll upload some more songs.
The first track is called Crazy Man On The Run. A song as crazy as the title suggests... This song will also feature on an international compilation as a benefit for Casa Alianza, an organisation founded to meet the needs of homeless kids in Nicaragua. Hope you like the track, here it is:

So, where's the 'January 2013' news one might ask... Well, not much has happened M*E*S-wise during the first month of 2013. Due to various reasons, both the recording sessions & the rehearsing sessions have been slowed down. However, some of the stuff we recorded at the end of 2012 has been worked on thoroughly by our bassplayer Maarten. All hail to this man for doing an incredible job of recording & editing these songs. Bjorn has layed down his vocal parts in January, so next step is mixing & mastering, which should be completed by the end of this month.
Three brand new songs will be presented as an EP by the end of this month if all goes well.
As soon as we get the band going again, some more of these EP's will be recorded & released throughout 2013.

Happy Sinterklaas everyone!
The last stretch to 2013, one more show before we fully concentrate on recording our next album, and what a show it will be... Not only will we play alongside THE KIDS, but we'll also have a drummer named Bavo behind our drumkit, who will replace Brahim (who's recovering from his knee injury).
We've been trying to do the impossible, getting Bavo to play a full playlist in only a few rehearsals, but we gotta say, the guy's doing great. Props to him for helping us out on this one!!!
Once Brahim is fully recovered, we will record album #3, yes, we will...

We just got back from a fun mini-tour through Germany & Czech Republic. First time with Maarten on board of the tourbus, good times! Thanks to all involved for making this happen, good times indeed...
A handful of shows left for this year, the idea of a 'special show' to celebrate the 10th year of resurrection of this band still is boiling in our minds. We'll keep you posted about this one, because we really want this to be something special.
And of course the recording of our new album has been given a lot of thought recently. Releasedate (early 2013), artwork & package, medium (CD/vinyl/digital)... Hopefully we'll get everything recorded by the end of this year, so we can offer a preview soon.

My oh my... has it been that long? I mean, thaaaaat long?
In October 2002, 4 kids collectively known as 'M*E*S', played its very first show in the Frontline (Ghent) alongside The Divisive, our friends from Finland with whom we released a split-album in December 2002. We only had been rehearsing with the band -consisting of original members Guido & Qrizz and newbies Bjorn & Jacob- for a couple of months. It must have been around May 2002 that we officially re-started the band & started rehearsing again.
There have been a few changes in our line-up over the years: currently we have drummer #3, bassplayer #3 (or even #5 if you count since the very beginning), and keyboardplayer #1 aboard, but the very core of the band always remained the same; have a positive outlook in a sometimes 'negative' scene, and -most of all- (try to) make music straight from the heart, without restrictions nor boundaries.
There's an old saying (I believe it's a Chinese one) that goes: 'Once a MesPunk, Always a MesPunk', so big up to all MesPunx past & present.
Thanx to each & everyone involved for your continued support, here's to the next 10 years :)
Bjorn, Qrizz, Jonez, Maarten, Brahim
PS; we'll be playing in Germany & Czech Rep soon...
PPS: we're still working on our next album, prepare for some crazy stuff!
PPPS: PPPPS'ses suck ;)
