Flying in the face of earthly convention, Mr. Meeble issues a warning to everyone who checks out their indie debut album: Never Trust The Chinese. Between its title and content - this Phoenix based trio’s sensual and soulful pop meets dark electronica record is bound to drop jaws, turn heads and offend, oh, maybe about a billion people.
But it’s nothing personal… well, except for the one nameless female who inspired this collection of songs that tell stories of the denial and despair of lost love, personal accountability, remembering, mourning and finally, just maybe, a glimmer of hope.

I've been planning a camping trip on that weekend for about a MONTH now! Someday our stars will align, I can feel it! I love your musics, so it's only a matter of time before I get the real deal ;)
Hi there!! It's been fun looking at your videos and 'I fell through' was great but that sure was some place to have the camera for that one! Good going!! :)
yeah things arent so bad on my end! But I do feel I'm jinxed or something, this is the third show of yours I've been so close to seeing, but have missed due to extraneous circumstances. Onward!
I didn't :( I had ended saving up a some cash last month, and my uncle borrowed it from me. That was that, and I didn't really expect him to pay me back.
