Devils Elbow

The Mess Hall are a raw, edgy bluesy rock two-piece based in Sydney consisting of members Jed Kurzel (vocals/guitar) and Cec Condon (drums/vocals). The band often find themselves being compared to The White Stripes but Kurzel expresses otherwise. "When we started to do our thing there was no White Stripes around. A lot of people I'm influenced by are a lot of old poor guys from the Mississippi who just play really honest and a dirty sort of blues. That's where The Mess Hall come from. We really never set out to be a two piece. It was just something that worked out that way". During September of 2007 The Mess Hall signed to Ivy League Records and released "Devils Elbow", their second full length release recently earning them the Australian Music Prize for best album.
