Some new ting in Mesa-World...
Hello World:
Here are some historical and futorical things that will be or won’t be happening in the Babylegs universe this present and post month. It’s all very Mesadormy. Feel free to read this bombardment, or if you don’t we will know and a little fairy dies.

The long awaited Mesadorm documentary, ‘Colour and Sound’ is almost ready and set to premiere online on 12th April. Tom Jacob, film director and composer has compiled the footage into something quite remarkable that tells the tale of what it’s like to go on a mesa tour. Split into 6 episodes, each one features a member of the band and gives us some insight into their individual worlds and how it all strings together. Colour & Sound weaves together surreal interviews, candid footage and live performances in a weird, hilarious and ultimately touching story of five great friends playing a few gigs to a few people.
‘Colour & Sound’ will be available to watch on You Tube from 12th April
PREMIERE: 24th April at The Prince Albert in Stroud, 8pm
PRE GIG SCREENING: 11th May at The Prince Albert in Stroud, 12pm
