Mr Mesmer and Miss Nadja met on a warm winter night under star light and over wine. At eleven thirty he leant in and sang softy into her ear. She smiled, pulled at her glove, and slapped him. They both knew this was the beginning of something magnificent. Mr. Mesmer (formerly of Reveille) Nadja (formerly of Coal Chamber) and Bones Elias (Julien K/Dead By Sunrise) are the trio known as Vera Mesmer, a sonic and literary depiction of the lost craft of storytelling and artistry.
