The bands success elsewhere was muted till the mid 2000s when a new following emerged in the Los Angeles suburbs. The band consisted of Brendan McEvoy (Songwriter/Lead Vocals/Guitar), Mark Alfred (Drums/Backing Vocals) and Balage Antal (Lead Guitar). Mid 90sThe band formed in Portlaoise in Ireland, and gained a reputation for "electric live performances".[1] In 1996 they released a single, "St Jesus, Uncle God"[https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/mesner/st__jesus_uncle_god/] which topped the Irish Indie charts. They had previously released the singles "Flowers" which was well received on Dave Fannings television show. They followed up on their chart topping success by releasing the single "Black 'n' orange" (1997), a song that was originally a b-side to "St Jesus Uncle God" and consequently didn't chart very well. In 2000 they released a single called "Saturday" which didn't chart very well. Mid 2000sIn 2006, the band relocated to Los Angeles where they had gigs on the sunset Strip, playing in venues such as The Viper Room, The Roxy, The Cat Club and Whisky A Go Go. They recorded an album called "Illegally Mellow" with producer Mark Paladino, who had previously worked with Fleetwood Mac, Billy Idol and Bernie Taupin amongst others. The album also featured a recording of Black n Orange and Illegally Mellow, both of which were b-sides to their 1996 single, "St Jesus Uncle God". The band released the single 'Where is Your Head At?' on August 24th 2007. The band returned to Ireland in 2009, and held auditions for a new bass player before engaging on a coast to coast tour of the 32 counties.[2] Solo workMark Alfred now tours with Riverdance.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mesner.org:80/biog.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080406075646/http://www.mesner.org:80/biog.htm|archivedate=2008-04-06|title=- - - MESNER - - -|date=6 April 2008|publisher=}} {{music-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/news/goingout/articles/2008/12/09/33880-band-auditions-for-professional-rock-band/ |title=Westmeath Examiner - Band auditions for professional rock band |publisher=Westmeathexaminer.ie |date=2008-12-09 |accessdate=2018-06-27}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://riverdance.com/the-show/cast/mark-alfred/|title=Mark Alfred - Riverdance|publisher=}} 4 : Portlaoise|Irish indie rock groups|1995 establishments in Ireland|Musical groups established in 1995 |
