Dallas based rock extraordinaire’s, MESSER set forth to kick off the ‘Make This Life’ Texas tour. Their tour started off in the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX at the premiere rock club Come and Take It Live.
Fans from all over Central Texas came out to see the guys take the stage. Taking in the atmosphere at the venue, people started to get ready for the action to begin. While waiting for the band to begin their set, I had a chance to check out the merchandise area and I have to say that I was impressed by the variety of items they had for fans to support the band. Personally, I picked up one of their snapbacks because I love a good hat.
As the lights went out, I knew it was time to go-to-town. The lighting kicked in as the show went into full gear. MESSER‘s lighting added that extra layer to a performance that fans enjoy and makes a performance, a show. The band kicked their set off with “Everything Is Beautiful”. This set the standard for the rest of the night.
During the show it was mentioned that the music video for “Make This Life” was being released the next day and that the self-titled album for it would be released on April 20th, 2018. Check out the video below:
The highlight of the night was when they played “Simple Man”. It is a song about knowing your self-worth and not letting life walk all over you. Everyone in the crowd including myself was into it and screaming the lyrics at the top of our lungs.
You can not go to a MESSER show without realizing how each of the band members add a unique element to the band as well as their performance. Each of them command an individual and collective presence live.
After the show, they took the time to meet with all the fans. This night will be one that I will not soon forget, you can count on that!
