Mar 19 : "Last Call" - The Electric Mess (New York)

News
The Electric Mess Releases New Video



The Electric Mess just released a new video on March 5th.



Everybody has experienced the flood of emotions that can come at "Last Call", and New York band The Electric Mess pretty much captures them all in their new video by the same name. This is a video of a single that is part of the band's new album, "The Electric Mess V", to be released on April 17.

"Last Call" means literally last call, but maybe it's also a metaphor for "last chance" in relationships or in forming relationships. There's a sense that maybe we coast, repeating what we're not really into, hoping things will turn out well in the end, not being proactive when we have the opportunity, and suddenly it's too late, we're at last call. In the video we meet a bunch of characters who have acted / may not have acted / may have regrets / may not have regrets / but all come crashing into the ultimate question at Last Call "What are you going to do now"?

I've seen The Electric Mess do a live show only once, and that was six years ago at Mercury Lounge. While I've been aware of some shows they've done in the meantime, their dates and my nights off never seem to be parallel.

I like that the band also shows a cool sense of humor in some of its work. And I like garage and psych. Here is the band's own description from their Facebook page ::: Since forming in 2007 in New York City, The Electric Mess have developed into an exciting and tight rock n' roll band, led by a dynamic lead singer, Esther Crow, with Dan Crow (guitar), Oweinama Biu (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Derek Davidson (bass), and Alan J. Camlet (drums). Their sound combines elements of 60s garage, 70s punk, psychedelic pop, and high energy rock."

Here is "Last Call", video from the upcoming album :::






The Electric Mess has a show coming up in Brooklyn on April 5 at The Electric Mess, April 5 at Kingsland. And here is the link to the band's Facebook page ::: The Electric Mess on Facebook (CLICK HERE).








Whoa!You've Become A Witch!
Very different from the above and WAY over the top, The Electric Mess's video, "You've Become A Witch" was mainly what got me interested in the band and pulled me into seeing their show at Mercury Lounge that night six years ago. Probably the funniest music video I've seen.
Check this out now!
Watch it to the very "The End" in the credits!
