Here’s a new instrumental demo, tentatively called “Dark Jazz” that was constructed largely with Apple’s GarageBand. It’s a companion piece to “Lady X-Ray” if you’ve ever heard us play that live.

Lea with a great post and video from her and Jay’s blog:
The Mesmers officially released their new CD Fitz’s Subway to Another Life at Freddie’s Beach Bar on Thursday May 6th. They had a fantastic show! Quite a few folks turned up for the fun. The band is truly grateful for their support! If you couldn’t make it, we’re sorry we didn’t get to celebrate with you. Here is a video from Freddie’s of one of the new songs, World Weary:
We thank her kindly for recording this for us!
