Mest plans one-off show in April

Posted by aubin on Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

The subject of one of the most popular stories of 2007, major label pop-punk act Mest, have announced a one-off reunion performance at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA on April 17th, 2008.

Frontman Tony Lovato also plans to debut material from his new band, Kisses for Kings, along with material from the band's back catalogue.

The popular band split up in 2006 after the release of Photographs in 2005. The big news last year was the shocking arrest of frontman Tony Lovato on murder charges. Lovato was accused of stabbing another man in an underground parking lot of an apartment building but was eventually released.

Well, I guess a one-off show is better than when the singer decided to "off one".

that makes sense....final show in Anaheim though they are from Illinois. Hey now, i'm not complaining, i'm glad they only have one show left, and thankfully Chicago doesn't have to bear it. But just...odd....

worth 4 grand for a night? ehhh, maybe not. but hotter than i'd expect a hooker to be.

shes hot but 4,000 a night? get the fuck out of here

24HourPriapism (March 13, 2008)

serious. a thousand bucks an hour, four hour appointment. and that's not including airfare/hotel/room service/minibar that he apparently spent for her.

randomhero323 (March 13, 2008)

oh i knew it was true i meant get the fuck out here that i would never pay that much to rail her.

24HourPriapism (March 13, 2008)

oh, definitely not. to quote some other dude who so eloquently summarized the situation, "i'd blap. not worth 4g's though."

well, 4g's, the loss of trust and public humiliation of your family, loss of your job and the ability to hold any public office ever again, etc.

jonhareslovechild (March 13, 2008)

The 50K I make this year will go anywhere I please
Where's the problem

baseball (March 13, 2008)

Yeah, but Spitzer is worth a fuck ton more money than all of us probably.

Say you make $40,000 a year, he's probably worth $400,000 a year (I don't know much about him). Then it'd be more like $400 for a night, would you do it then?

Guy_Incognito (March 13, 2008)

Actually, he spent over $80,000 on hookers

To be fair, he is a billionaire so I guess it's all relative. $80,000 to him is like $5 to me and you.

ZombieCrush (March 13, 2008)

$4000??? No way.

I am just hoping that those are horrible pictured of her...or she has some amazing tricks...

MattRamone (March 13, 2008)

I heard she does the best Rusty Trombone this side of the Mississippi.

atrus138 (March 14, 2008)

Amazing ILLUSIONS. Tricks are something a whore does for...oh wait.

Wentz_Equals_Death (March 13, 2008)

she looks like this girl from my younger days who had monstrous daddy issues... poor girls. well. i guess this one isn't poor. and her record deal is just around the corner

24HourPriapism (March 13, 2008)

assuming she isn't brought up on charges....i'm sure she'll end up on a few reality shows as a guest participant or something before she goes back to waitressing or whatever.

Guy_Incognito (March 13, 2008)

Well she is a $4,000 hooker after all. I can't imagine they take just anybody for that job.

That said, that Spitzer guy is a moron. As long as you are going to be a slimeball, you might as well just do what every other dousche bag does and just lure a bar girl in with your BMW and a $50 bottle of trendy Vodka. It's cheaper and highly unlikely you'll ever get caught.

How in the world does a guy like him expect to conduct those kinds of transactions that actually generate a paper trail and not get caught?

The thing that really blows my mind is how he is making his wife stand up there at the podium with him. Is it really necessary to humiliate her on national TV like that?

24HourPriapism (March 13, 2008)

actually, just luring chicks from the bar, you'd run a much higher risk of getting caught because the girl would be more prone to blabbing about how she gave the governor a blowjay.

escort services are supposed to be confidential (ie the whole "client #9" business), it's just that he fucked up with the paper trail. i hope he didn't use public funds to pay for the girl though (then again, his salary IS public funds....which sucks)

not that....i know.....a whole lot about how escort services.....heh....uh....

Hey, doesn't she kind of look like the girl Tony killed that dude over?

fallingupwards84 (March 13, 2008)

not worth 4 grand when you can bang a hooker just as hot in Holland for 50 Euros

damnitsderek (March 13, 2008)

I'd say something about his new band's name, but I don't want to get Mest up.

Who would you use interpunk when you could've gotten it cheaper buying directly from Red Leader? It would probably arrive faster as well, hell I've had that album since december!

baseball (March 13, 2008)

Interpunk will rail you on the shipping too. Nice thing about Interpunk though, is that you can place your order and look around for a better deal and then just easily cancel it out.

I saw these guys play the (either 06 or 05) warped tour, the crowd, even their "fans" seemed to give out a collective "meh", and then near the end someone threw popsicle at Lovato, good times.
