Hello from mesh HQ!

We know people may well be busy preparing for Christmas but we wanted to send you a Christmas wish and give you the latest news before the year is out.

During the last 2 months a lot of things have been happening in preparation for the release of the new single and album next year. Here’s an update!


New Single - "Crash" – See it. Hear it.

"Crash" will be the first single from the new album "WE COLLIDE". A promo-single has been sent out to clubs in Germany so please start asking your DJ to play it! :)
The tracklisting on the promo is
Crash - Original Version (4:19)
Crash - Alien Six Kerosene Remix (4:30)
Crash - mesh collision mix (5:31)

Many radio stations in Germany will receive the single in the middle of January. The final version is due to be released on 24th February 2006 and will also contain two new songs which won’t be on the album. If you can’t wait until then… you can hear a preview and see the cover on http://www.mesh.co.uk/


New Album – "We Collide"

The album "WE COLLIDE" will be released on 31st March 2006 by Koenigskinder Records Hamburg, distributed by SPV Hannover. We’ve resisted the temptation to play the songs live so there’s a lot of brand new material on the album including ‘This Is What You Wanted’, ´What Are You Scared Of?` ´No Place Like Home` ´Room With A View`, ‘Can You Mend Hearts’ and of course ‘Crash’!


Photo Session

After an initial meeting in London with Dirk Lindner (http://www.dirklindner.com/) we have had new photographs taken by German born Dirk. Dirk has done many photo-shoots for magazines, advertising and bands including Richard Ashcroft, Graham Coxon (Blur), Spiritualized and Jarvis Cocker. We’re very pleased with the photos some of which have been included in the artwork for the new album and others should hopefully start appearing in the press soon. We worked with stylist Suzie Zabrowski and some of the clothes (for both the photoshoot and video) were supplied by uk clothing label ‘Addict’ (www.addict.co.uk)


Video for Crash

Last week we were in Dusseldorf Germany to film a video for ‘Crash’ with Mark Feuerstake (www.feuerstake.de). We have previously worked with Mark on the Not Prepared Video filmed in Brighton, UK. The final edit is due early in January but we’re pleased with the rough cut we’ve seen so far. Once more our acting skills were put to test but we’re confident we’ll win Oscars for our ability to "look around". Fortunately there are some real actors too! The clip will be submitted to German TV stations during January/early February. A few behind the scenes photos are in the Gallery on our website at www.mesh.co.uk.


Tour Dates

The majority of the ‘We Collide’ Tour is now booked and more details are provided at the end of this newsletter. The tour starts 21st April 2006 and we also hope to soon add some dates in other countries.

Only for Germany
On 7.January there is an half our Mesh special in Hannover. The band won’t be there but you will get a preview of Mesh 2006 . Details www.cets-party.de


What else?

Thanks to everyone who attended the London show on 6th November. It was a great crowd and it was brilliant to see so many people attend from all over the World – including Germany, Austria, Poland and Spain. Again there are some photos in the Gallery on the website – http://www.mesh.co.uk/pages/mesh_images_stage.htm

"You’ll really never know"
In our next newsletter we’ll give you sight of the album artwork, the final album tracklisting and links to official prelistening files.

2005 / 2006
It’s felt like a very long year at times as we waited for all the ‘business’ side of the album release to be sorted. But now at the end of the year everything has exploded and there is so much to do! But the year ends well for us with the album and single releases confirmed, promotion beginning and a celebration that at last people will be able to hear what for us is undeniably our best album to date.
We’re looking forward to the new year and the work we’ve got ahead of us. And of course to seeing people on our tour and promotional visits.
Thanks as ever to everyone for all their support and patience this year and we look forward to meeting you next year – either at one of our shows or in your CD player :)

For now we wish you a happy and safe Christmas and new year.
Mark, Rich & Neil
