    Hey there guys...we went to the Plough & Star this week to check out the Reid Paley Solo Show along with MJ Lederman. Reid sang his heart out and did a great show! I am happy to see that once again The Plough has become one the THE places to hang out over drinks with friends! There were lots of interesting people in the crowd like Staffy from the Throwaways, Jay Allen, and the ever so cute Jim from Triple Thick. The Plough has been done up nicely and feels a little larger, very comfortable and often has some really good music going on.....
OOOPs, I did it again...Semi Precious Weapons are THIS Thursday the 8th, at TT's, not last Thursday, still worth it though, check 'em out....

Neighborhoods are at The Wellfleet Beachcomber on July 19. along with The Greenheads and the Downbeat 5. They are saying: "It's possible this will be our only summer show so plan accordingly." There ya go folks...
So looks like The Mess Me Ups are really really really , no like really broken up this time. Well I manyof us will miss seeing the mesmerizing Jessy up there on bass but not to worry my freinds, we hear she is talking with some pretty interesting and interested parties to get what would be a most awesome band together, we're glad!!!
    Also, Mr Jet Setter of the Boston scene Carl Biancucci of Classic Ruins and members of the Sweet Zeros (from the UK) are currently recording at Brian James' (Damned and Lords of The New Chruch) Studio 284 in Brighton, as in England, not the town next to Allston.
