So heres some news for all you MEST fans!!! MEST will be heading in the studio in August and releasing an E.P. in September FOR FREE!!!!! Cameron Webb (Social Distortion, Pennywise,) will be producing it. Tony, as you know has his other band Kisses for Kings and will be continuing to write and record with them. But after 2 years of writing songs realised theres alot of material that doesnt fit into his new band Kisses for Kings and realised they were just MEST songs that were never gonna be released. After attending the warped tour in 07 and getting an insane amount of kids asking Tony if MEST will ever play again and many not knowing MEST had broken up till after they did there last tour, the thought crossed Tonys mind to do a califorina show. He told many of the kids "if i did it, it would probably be just me with some friends playing with me" and all had the same responce of "that would still be amazing". It still took another 9 months of debating to decide to do a "ONE NIGHT STAND" in Anahiem Ca. Tony called up long time friends Chris Wilson (Good Charlotte, Summer Obsession) and Dave Agulira (Bleed the Dream) to join him on this night. If you were in attendance you know how the show went, if you were not lets just say it was a one night stand you would of never forgot. The show was amazing, with the fans singing every word louder than the P.A.!!!!! Just like a MEST SHOW SHOULD BE!!! Many have been asking who's in MEST will this be Matt, Jer and nick. Tony has contacted Matt and while Matt would enjoy doing this he just doesnt have the time now. Matt has a great job and has to take care of his family. As im sure you all understand. Jer is also to busy. Nick is busy with his other band and Tony and Nicks friendship parted ways over 2 years ago. Tony has said "a band is like a relationship. just because it doesnt work out doesnt mean you give up, sit around and do nothing. If your like me you go out there and find a girl that has a better personality, a better sense of humor, is way more "talented" in bed and is way hotter. So i guess you could say Chris Wilson is my new hotter girlfriend. haha" Chris will be tracking drums on the new MEST e.p. and will be doing the tour. For any fans that know everything there is about MEST know that Matt was unable to attend the farewell tour so the last time MEST did any touring with the original lineup was in 05 with Social Distoriton. Steve Lovato, Tonys older brother and original member of MEST will be doing this tour!!!! So to the die hard MEST fans who own every record including MO MONEY MO 40's which Steve was part of, this is an event not to miss!!! Whats the long term of MEST at this point??? When asked, Tony replied " Its like a relationship, you take it literally one day at a time. One recording at a time one tour at a time. I am still absolutely devoted to Kisses for Kings but MEST will always be part of my life. I started this band with my brother Steve and cousin Matt over 17 years ago. I had such an amazing time last april in anaheim that i realised i wanted to go back out and give back to everyone that gave me so many amazing memories, and create a few more. So this E.P. is something I can give back. What other way can you say thank you to your fans other than giving away your music for free! This tour is for all that would like to share a night of memories. Some kids grew up listening to MEST. Or it was there summer record. I have my summer records. When you hear those songs it just puts you in a place thats undiscribable. So i guess i wanna have a ONE NIGHT STAND with every city not just Anahiem haha. Will there be another tour after this,,, I dont know. Will there be another record after this,,,, I dont know;). I just know what I want to do right now and thats record some new MEST songs, give them away to the fans and go out on tour and have some fun. This is for everyone who wants to have a fun positive night. Thats what MEST shows have always been about. One night we can escape the world and just have a great time. Negative people need not apply.. your not welcome!! haha.. See all of you soon!!!"



Keep checking back to the MEST page for tour dates and details how to get the free E.P.!!!!!

im sure everyone will tear me apart for saying this, and maybe its cause im old, but i was lucky enough to see mest 6-8 times while rolling though NYC, be it opening for Goldfinger, Good Charlotte (thank god i left before there set finished) or most of the time Headlining....but Mest with just TONY is not MEST.

it sucks jer, matt, and nick cant/ or dont want to do it.

but if that was the case, and again, i might be in the minority here....you shouldve let the amazing thing that was MEST lay dead or dormite until jer, nick and matt might have wanted to do it.

cause how can a new song be a NEW MEST song, if its not MEST playing it?

im sorry, but its not.

its like going to see the smashing pumpkins when half the band decides not to be involved.

just my opinion, but, unless nick, matt, and jer wanted to be a part of it, you should have, and continued to just let the MEST name mean what it has.....the best pop-punk band, the ONLY one that rose above the rest of the dogshit that was calling it self punk in that era.

obviously you arent gonna listen to one lone voice, but, dont soil your legacy.

Your last concert in Detroit was the first concert I went to with my boyfriend, it's part of what brought us closer. 2000 miles is my favorite, that's also how far away your tour feels for me. You guys must come to Detroit! In the words of Kevin Lyman, "it's all for the fans"... it's always strange the stuff you pick up from Warped Tour. Love you guys!!!

im soooo happy that you guys are going back on tour, and i seriously cant wait to see you in concert, although, the live performance and signing at looneytunes, in west babylon, ny was awesome. you guys shoud come visit there again, the place has been completely re-built due to a fire on august 30th, 2007.

Ross // EvE6MediaHQ.com - //

 
Do you guys have something against paragraphs? That was tedious to read.

Also, it seems as though a 5th grader was in charge of typing it up.

That being said, as someone who was a fan of Mest's music back in college, but never invested in it so completely (like some of the teenagers I see commenting here), this seems kind of shady.

Basically, it is Tony wanting to make a bit of money with a tour after isolating himself from the rest of the long-time members of MEST.

I live in NYC, but I just can't support something like this. Perhaps I am reading this all wrong, but from the run-on paragraph above, this is what I have gathered.

BUT im fucking stoked that there will be new music, ive been longing so fucking much. Too bad Matt couldnt be there, but hey we get Stevie! (I've always said that you should record some of the songs on mo moneyz mo 40z again, cuz they are awesome!)
Come to Sweden? PLEASE that would be the best thing ever. Fuck i wanna live in the US sometimes. :'(
