Messies @ The Key Club, 10/30 ~ West Hollywood
The Messies are not for everyone. They have a polished, almost prefabricated sound that some “serious” music fans might consider too radio-friendly. Think “Avril Lavigne” meets “Fall Out Boy”, with a 2:1 ratio.
The one thing you can’t do, though, is deny their talent. These guys are REALLY good at what they do. At their most recent show, my friend and I were debating on just how often they have to rehearse to be as tight and prepared as they are. We decided no fewer than 4 times a week, if not more.
The Messies are currently working with producer Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette, No Doubt, the Goo Goo Dolls, etc…) in the studio and will have an album finished soon. They’ll likely get signed, so if you’re the type of person who likes to brag about how you “discovered” a band before they made it big, you should see them perform at least once.
You can catch the Messies this coming Tuesday (10/30) at the Key Club in West Hollywood. It’s an all-ages show, and free. The show starts at 8pm.

I saw these guys a couple weeks ago (the show where the pictures above were taken) and I’m sorry, but they were horrible. I felt embarrassed for them.
There were much better bands that played that night, but the 15 yr old crowd had their parents pick them up right after The Messies played and probably had My Chemical Romance blasting from their car stereo all of the way home.

hum……thats a funny one emily…perhaps you are one of those bitter girlfriends of some lame band and perhaps one that is TOO cool for school. This show was amazing…there really isn’t anyone else in town what puts out as much as they do….don’t be bitter - its just entertainment afterall.
