Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia / Mesaplex

I was just upset to learn that the fantastic Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia had decided to call it a day, before I ever got to see them live. However, my upset has been mollified slightly by the fact that half of the original band have teamed up with an old friend to form Mesaplex. Judging by the three demo tracks available from their site, Mesaplex retain the complex, haunting, sweeping rhythms of MBICR, mixing classical structures with tribal beats and electronica. I'm not entirely convinced by the male vocals, but I'm certainly impressed enough to wait to see what a full album, and hence more polished production, will do for them.

They're gigging next Friday at the Wheatsheaf. Anybody interested? (for the London-dwellers, they're also playing the Notting Hill Arts Café next Saturday)

Remind me to send you some MBICR tracks if I haven't already played their stuff to you. Up for the gig?

Do you happen to know if the girl who did the monologues for Meanwhile is in the new band?

According to the Mesaplex website, the three band members are all male, so I'd guess not.

Did you see them at the weekend? I think they were on a bit earlier than 8:30 at the Wheatsheaf.

Yep, I did. They weren't on much earlier than 8:30 though...

Haven't gotten round to writing it up for my LJ yet though.
