ATTN: WE NEED SOME HELP. PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FANS.
Our main touring vehicle has broken down in STL just before this last run of shows. As of now, the band is stranded in KCMO after our show tonight. We are asking for a possible ride from KCMO to Lawrence KS for one passenger and our gear to make our show FRIDAY at The Jazzhaus. Right now the gear fits in the back of a Toyota Highlander, so a medium SUV or anything like a VAN would be perfect. Our helper will get FREE TICKETS AND MERCH!! (plus gas $) Let us know if you have any leads for a ride for us by contacting team@messyjiverson.com THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Messy Jiverson has a couple new side projects in the Messy Universe family. Nate Carpenter (keys/bass/vocals), Cannon DeWeese (drums/vocals), & Mikey Wehling (guitar/vocals) have formed the group CDW, or Seedy Dubya; which now plays locally in STL. The band has a plethora of new original material to lay into as well as performing improvised sounds and their own take on some classic tracks from the past. Also keeping themselves busy are Nate and Cannon who will perform improvised and composed music using synthesized and analog sounds every Wednesday in July at Pop’s Blue Moon with their duo group DOWNSTEREO, who has in the past also performed with special guests such as Ben Combe of Particle and also Gavin Duffy of Messy Jiverson. Thank you for supporting your local original composers and performers!
