Hello from England!

Really good cover, and the audience absolutely loved it! Great to see so many people dancing and enjoying themselves to a classic like twist and shout - better than anything in the charts thats for sure!

Brooklynparrot youre awesome, love all your quaker vids and songs too!

[brooklynparrot]

Thanks so much, balist0 - we do aim to please!

[balist0]

No problem, credit where credits due!

I'd just like to know something (sorry this isnt to do with The Meetles), your wild parrot clips always mention the 'ongoing documentary project' I really want to know if this means youre making a full length docu-film or if its referring to the brooklyn parrots project in general. Reason I ask is because I want to see more of it haha, what youre doing for these birds is most commendable and I would happily pay out for a dvd if ever one is produced!

Thanks

Yes - the project is still "ongoing" but I still don't know when it will be finished. The problem is basically resources - not so much money but time - without getting into too much detail, I had some major life disruptions in 2008 and the need to hold down a full-time job, plus bandwork, plus keeping the free Safaris going, has pushed it onto the back burner. Still hope to finish it someday, however!

And last two nights were notable in that we are now getting asked to autograph the band's CD and getting invited to play a gig in Egypt!!! -- Check out MeetlesVideos on YouTube and Twitter for more.

@MeetlesVideos It's a new experience for me to be asked for my autograph! Kind of incredible, really...

[Tangerine08]

Why can't we have a band like you guys in Toronto? Would certainly make the TTC less of a drag xD I got a little teary eyed seeing the crowd having so much fun listening to you guys play! And you're REALLY GOOD TOO! Keep on rockin!

I love the video and just wish I were still in NYC. But I'm as happy to hear from you again - it's been a while and I hope all is well. I've got to go & check out the other Meetles videos. The music sounds great and, as sappy as this sounds, it is joyful.

i miss the MEETLES!!!!!!

[judevox]

Great !....just what New York needs....bravo guys wish I could be there and something like that in our hometown.

Life is for moments of joy like this :)

[balist0]

Yes sounds like youre a busy chap, I'll just keep a keen eye on your site and await eagerly the finished product!

I'm currently on the hunt for a feathered quaker friend myself which is why I'm so enthralled by all this. We have wild Ring Necked parrots here in England but alas none of the fantastically interesting monks so far as I know! Theres an alright short doc about them - search for "the great british parakeet invasion" on youtube, theyre really thriving too!
