Bio
MESSER started writing late July 2009. With only a hand full of shows since then, the Dallas, Texas group has raised the attention of industry and fans alike by the lightning fast rise of popularity, locally and nationally.
Together Javier Contreras – Guitar/Vocals, Dereak – Lead vocals, Kenn Youngar – Drums, and Maddox - Bass/Vocals provides somewhat of a local super group assault on the senses.
Messer’s industry buzz is not only from popularity of their former bands and live stage show, but from a cult following of their major motion pictures and reality show castings. This is a band that thinks outside the box and nothing is impossible and everything is attainable if you have the desire.
It’s easy to see from the reaction of the fans coupled with the size of venues they are playing, shows this is no flash in the pan band.
Seasoned, eager, dedicated and hungry to play, their memorable leads, catchy hooks and in your face live show is something not to miss.
