Mepos

Last night Regina, David and I went to Harpers Ferry to see the Mepos perform. If you are a fan of live music and have not been to Harpers Ferry, you are doing yourself a great in-justice. It is a larger than average rock club that hosts well known performers as well as younger, local bands. Harper's Ferry is located in on Brighton Avenue in Allston "Rock City", which is an area known for t's many bars and great local, live music.

I grew up a stone's throw from the area and have always had a love for the local rock scene and a weakness for musicians. In fact, most of the guys I have dated in the past as well as two long term boyfriends have been musicians. I am a moth to a flame when it comes to the creative, moody, tortured, misunderstood man and I find that guys in bands fit that bill pretty well. It's a wonder why my love life has such a high failure rate.

Back to last night - the Mepos took the stage at 10:30 PM and dove right into their all original set.

A blurb from their website:

Mepos is a four piece improvisational rock band based out of Providence, RI. The band blends elements of funk, jazz, and rock to create a unique experience that continually surprises and pleases its audiences. Playing a wide variety of covers and originals the band’s high-energy performances and growing repertoire attract the attention of new listeners and constantly surprise veteran fans. Mepos thanks a constantly growing fan base dedicated to enjoying its live performances.

The band is made up of Matt on guitar, Nate on bass, Pat on keys, and Mario on drums. All four members of Mepos are individually talented as musicians but they also play very well together. I suspect that they are dedicated to practicing often. As serious as they appear about the quality of their performance it does not dilute the impression that these guys are having a great time up there. They obviously enjoy performing together and that is what really stands out.

So check out their website - http://www.meposmusic.com/ - if they are playing at a venue near you and you are looking to have a great time and listen to some fun music the Mepos are just the guys to give it to you.
