The Messies were formed in the spring of 2003 by Kelly Kidd, who hails from the small farming town of Foley, Minnesota and Thomas Gallmeier, a drummer from Germany, thinking that after having played all over the world, this was his best chance to trade in his lederhosen for a shot at the big time. Kelly had already been beating the Hollywood streets as a singer/songwriter and once persuaded a record label to sign him. Shortly after, the deal went bust and Kelly returned to selling sun block and swimsuits. Realizing his own life and career were a mess, he once again set out to rock the world.
here is a summary of their story over the past few years:

author: Stryker KROQ Los AngelesI have seen a lot of bands in the past 5 years and I have to say the messies are at in the top tier of indie bands out there today. Great live show - total confidence!
Best song for your high intensity workout
author: SHAPE magazineRight under Brittney Spears are the messies "Anything Is Possible" one of the best new songs for your high intensity workout says famous personal trainer Jay Blahnik in Jan '05 issue of SHAPE magazine. Can't believe these guys remain indie....
Smart and fun with a great hook
author: Mary K mgpmusic.comFunny but not condesending lyrics keep it real against a pumped up pop beat. Kidds clear and boyish voice is perfect for letting the emotion in each song show through. If you can't find a song to identify with on this cd you aren't from this world.
Finally a decent band to come out of L.A. again - yahooo!
author: UCSB surf teamSee them while they are still cheap - these boys wont be around much longer doin $10 shows............great fun crap!
Great Pop-Punk - pleasantly unique take on life!
author: State Of EmergencyWith a record this good, the only thing that does surprise me is why arn't they on an MTV loving major?......
If music could be converted into chocolate, the Messies would be the new Godiva.
author: The PulseThe Messies CD Super Sexy is just that! The creative lyrics are wired into heart jolting instrumental and vocal sounds. Weak heart? No need for an expensive defibrilator and confusing hook-ups. Just pop in the cd and...BOOM...your alive!
A surpise out of LA's club scene - no one saw this coming - the one to watch!!!
author: New Music Weekly LASuper Sexy track 2 screams HIT!!! Dont be surprised to see this group go all the way. There is a buzz coming out of Orange County and LA - ONE FINE MESS!!!
