Jason Achilles Mezilis Releases Music Video For ‘Panhandle’

Currently releasing his solo instrumental record entitled ‘COMEDOWN’ on June 28th, Jason Achilles Mezilis’ instrumental LP (yes, actual vinyl) was recorded and mixed entirely analog, and features Brett Rocha on drums, with album photography by Yoko Morimoto and original artwork by Panos Tsagaris.

Last summer Mezilis had teamed up to play on the third album from the band OWL, for whom he plays guitar (and a bit of keys) and sing backup vocals, alongside bassist and vocalist Chris Wyse (of Ace Frehley’s band) and drummer Dan Dinsmore.  OWL toured latter 2015 in support of their new release ‘Things You Can’t See’, which included an appearance at “A Taste of Minnesota” music festival (in support of FUEL and P.O.D.) and east-west coast dates with PHILM (feat. Dave Lombardo of Slayer), where they had a damn good time, and the record is now available on iTunes.

Mezilis can also be found (when in town) about once a week playing piano in Hollywood at The Piano Bar with a number of artists he’s produced and recorded over the years, most notably blues/ragtime drunken fun with NOAH ENGH. He has also performed for a brief time a few years band with the band CLOCK, featuring a number of notable players including Vivian Campbell, Mark Schulman, PJ Smith and Sasha Krivstov.
