The brothers Meese will be releasing their debut album, Broadcast (June 30th), and you can purchase it here.  In celebration   Meese will be doing an in-store performance at Twist and Shout, June 30th @ 6 PM. They will also be playing the Westword Music Showcase next month, alongside, Built to Spill and a Place to Bury Strangers, amongst other notable local acts. The future looks pretty bright for these Cleveland transplants (I won’t hold it against them because they’re Cavs fans) because they are touring with some very notable acts in support of the new album. I caught them a couple of months ago, when the group surprised the Larimer Lounge crowd with a performance of the new album, in it’s entirety!  Did I mention that it was smashing?
