Had this to say about the recent A Pretty Mess show in Los Vegas.

The 5th band on this Punk bill was a band from Los Angeles Calif. Called "A Pretty Mess". This 4 girl quartet is extermely talented, A cross between The Dollyrots, and the Runaways they bashed out their set with pure AUTHORITY, with DMESS on guitar and lead vocals, Meghan on bass, Mel on Drums, and Nancy on lead guitar, all girls lending a hand on vocals, they just had me and the crowd in the palm of their hands.

With songs like Speed, Shiver, Going Nowhere Fast, and Despair. They kicked Ass. These girls are "HARDCORE" Another highly recommended must see band.

So Long ......

So this week we bid farewell to Lilia (the bassist), she want's to find her true calling which is playing guitar, when she tried out for us she mainly played guitar she wanted to try out for us playing bass, she picked up on the bass pretty well so we decided to keep her, but as time went by so did the enthusiasm. It was a mutual decision on all our parts and we have no bad blood between us, but sometimes things are long over due. We wish her all the luck.

We are happy to announce that Metal Meghan From Naked Aggression will be filling in for the next shows/tours and everything else that comes along so don't worry aint nothing gonna get us down go give her a big welcome!!

L.A.Weekly pick of the day for: SATURDAY, JULY 4, 2009

Riot Girl Carnival with The Potential Lunatics, Mermaid, A Pretty Mess at the Smell
... A Pretty Mess’s tight sonic brutality hearkens back to L7’s Smell the Magic days. These four Valley girls force-feed a less political bent than the others, pummeling the crowd without chipping any of their glossy black nail polish in the process. Plus they do a wicked version of "Cherry Bomb".

August 2008

We have started working on our own web site!

While our site is not completely finished at this time (what site ever is), most of the remaining changes are minor.

We will still be using the http://www.myspace.com/xprettymessx page, however, having our own web site allows us more control of the design and layout.

We hope you like our site, and remember to bookmark (add to favorites).
