Meese

THE HEADLINE: Two brothers from Cleveland move to Denver to start a band.

THE MEAT: Joined by their close friends, Patrick and Nathan Meese create a musical act of the same name: MEESE. Together they write heart felt songs. Songs that are carried by keyboards and guitars. Songs that are garnished with electronic beats and tones. Melodies that can hook any listener, and instrumentation that is different and unique. So the buzz begins.

THE DRAMA: "It's been a lot of hard work," says Patrick. "Whoever knew that being in a band would be 90% work 10% music." Patrick Meese's struggles with spirituality and have victory over addiction have left a lasting impression on his lyrics. "The past year has been so successful because we're each dedicated, and that's not going to change." Patrick and Nathan self-produced their 2006 release "Our Album Year" in their Denver basement, then took it to Aaron Johnson in New York to help with the mixing and mastering process. The work has paid off for these two brothers as the CD continues to sell beyond anyone's expectations. New plans to record are being made, with hopes to release new songs before the year is out. In March the final line-up was solidified: Patrick Meese: Vocals. Keys. Acoustic Guitar. Nathan Meese: Electric Guitar. David Vanderhamm: Bass. Ben Haley: Drums. Mike Ayars: Electric Guitar. Keys. BGV.

THE REACTION: Due to the internet and the hordes of music lovers hunting for new bands, Meese's songs have spread far and fast. Denver has begun to embrace this five-some with open arms and open ears. In just a year Meese has achieved air-time on several of Colorado's most-listened-to radio stations and received full length articles from numerous magazines and newspapers. 2006 breakthrough band The Fray has teamed up with Meese at venues like Red Rocks and the historic Paramount Theater. From festivals to award ceremonies, Meese is making an impact. People of all walks of life have begun walking to the beat that Meese is making.
