The last gig "Mesh" played in the UK was over eighteen months ago and due to public demand they have lined up three exclusive dates in the UK for November 2007. Most of their time has been spent touring Europe, - Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and even Russia - making records and videos and putting together a live concert DVD entitled "The World's A Big Place" due for release later this month. The world is certainly a big place when it comes to success for "Mesh". Their schedule is constantly full but Rich Silverthorne and Mark Hocking were determined to perform and conclude their "We Collide" tour in the UK to thank their fans for their loyalty and patience. Their first date is in their home city of Bristol on Friday 23rd November at the Bristol Bierkeller, followed by Satan's Hollow, Manchester on 24th November and The Electric Ballroom in London on Sunday 25th November. Rich and Mark said "We are really looking forward to playing again in the UK in particular Bristol. It is always a special gig for us as it's our home town and have the added pressure of playing in front of friends and family."
"Mesh" fans themselves are very excited about the shows and couldn't wait for the tickets to go on sale. Distance has no barrier either with some fans travelling from Germany, The Netherlands, the USA as well as throughout the UK to snap up tickets. Some are so keen that they will be travelling to all three concerts to get their latest fix of "Mesh". One fan from Germany said "I loved the great show at Bristol Bierkeller!! Fantastic atmosphere! This time I'll try to go to Manchester" with another German fan enthusiastically saying "We've booked our flight and hotel for Manchester!!! YEAH!" Fans in the UK are just as excited at seeing "Mesh" live on stage with one saying "Will be there at Bristol for sure, you really kicked ass last time!" Another fan from South East England left a message on their message board to say "I am soooooooo there! Definitely London, maybe Bristol. I can't wait!" You couldn't ask for better testimonials than that unless you count Robbie Williams and Dave Gahn among your fan base.

So what type of music does "Mesh" produce? That is best described by Rich Silverthorne in his own words: "It's kind of electronic based music but it has got a rocky edge to it. If you took a big pot and threw in "Garbage", "The Prodigy", "Nine Inch Nails", "Depeche Mode" and you gave it a good stir you'd probably get somewhere close to what we do really". So there you have it. Bristol's own little gem stone of music genius that has kept it's own identity and been left untarnished by the big marketing machine. It only goes to prove with hard work, talent and a determination to keep individuality, that "Mesh" are a big success in their own right.
