Hi

Do you have an archive of the Saturday show. There was a band called "The Mesmerines" from Boston who played, and I know a couple of the guys but missed the show.

Thanks

I downloaded the show (and was there) and edited the Mesmerines and burned them onto CD. Let me know your email address and I can send the MP3. These guys were hilarious setting up, some of the songs were so-so, but the others were very cool and very original. Not sure who they are tho'

Many thanks. I can only imagine what they were up to prior to the broadcast. These guys are from Boston and veterans of the local scene. Very solid musicians. I have heard their stuff on their site.
