About the article "Amélie", section "Musical adaptation".

Candidate passages:
Meese was a four-piece rock band from Denver, Colorado, signed to Atlantic Records.
The name "Meese" is taken from the last name of the band's founders and brothers, Patrick and Nathan Meese.
The other two members of the band are Ben Haley and Mike Ayars.
Meese shared the stage and toured with bands such as Our Lady Peace, The Fray, Straylight Run, Paramore, Phantom Planet, Dropping Daylight, Switchfoot, and many others.
They have also played venues such as Paramount Theatre, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Gothic Theatre and the Fox Theater.
In July 2009, the band has released their first major studio album, "Broadcast," which has been received with warm reviews.
The album's first single is "Next In Line" was offered as a free single of the week on iTunes.
In May 2010, Meese confirmed that they had disbanded. 
The band began under the name "Patrick Meese" also releasing two EPs entitled "Patrick Meese" and "B-Sides" featuring Patrick Meese in a mostly acoustic style performance in which he played and recorded almost all the instruments himself.
Reportedly after sending his brother a copy of the song "I Don't Buy It" Nathan Meese dropped out of school at Ohio University and moved out to Denver to join Patrick's band.
Following this the band shortened their name to simply "Meese."
During these first few months and shows Meese was joined by various friends who played alongside him.
While originally Patrick stated that the band only consisted of him and his brother and that friends occasionally played with them, the band now has a solid four members which has been made apparent through their live shows over the past two years and recent signing with Atlantic.
Meese began playing several small venues around the Denver area in 2005 playing the Walnut Room and Bluebird theater with friends "for the holiday."
After the band "for the holiday" went their separate ways Meese found a place for the assimilation of two of the members, Mike Ayars (guitar) and Ben Haley (Drums).
Now having added this key element the band found themselves with a stronger lineup and stage presence.
Meese found great support in the local scene with help from friends The Fray opening for them at their CD release party at the Paramount Theatre (Denver, Colorado).
Meese continued to play around denver with popular local bands which would lead to their independent release "Our Album Year".
2006 was a good year for Meese gaining a stronger local following and opening more opportunities to again play with The Fray at a sold out show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 19, 2006.
These key shows coupled with support by local radio station KTCL 93.3 [http://www.ktcl.com] gave Meese the attention and recognition they had been working so hard to gain.
They continued to play around the Denver area until joining The Fray on part of their summer 2007 tour.
On October 21, 2007 Meese announced on KTCL 93.3 that they had signed with Atlantic Records.
Meese entered the studio to begin recording in 2008 and has finished their newest recording and first major label release "Broadcast", released on June 30, 2009.
Since the recording Meese has played several shows previewing the album from start to finish, the first being in their home town of Denver, Colorado.
Meese will spend the summer touring in support of their new CD including a summer tour with The Fray and Jack's Mannequin.
The first single released was "Next In Line".
During the week of July 7, 2009, "Next in Line" was offered free, as the Single of the Week in the iTunes music store.
Broadcast has received some noticeable attention, especially from author Stephanie Meyer (of the popular "Twilight" series), who cited it as one of her favorite releases.
(She was quoted as saying "Meese was responsible for one of my favorite songs.")
Atlantic records, which also releases the "Twilight" soundtracks, has made no indication that Meese will end up on a "Twilight" soundtrack.
[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1619181/20090820/white_rabbits.jhtml] Meese announced they had disbanded in May 2010.
After Meese's breakup, Nathan and Patrick Meese began a new band known as "The Centennial", with currently one EP "Second Spring" which was announced free at the purchase of a ticket, or for visiting their website "www.thecentennial.net". 
As Reagan's chief of staff, Meese was instrumental in the decision to crack down on student protesters at People's Park in Berkeley, California, on May 15, 1969.
Meese was widely criticized for escalating the official response to the People's Park protest, during which law enforcement officers killed one student attacker and injured hundreds of protesters in their attempt to clear the street.
Many students were bystanders and were caught in the police charge by the "Blue Meanies".
Meese advised Reagan to declare a state of emergency in Berkeley, contrary to the recommendation of the Berkeley City Council.
This resulted in a two-week occupation of People's Park by National Guard troops.
The first governor to turn to Meese for advice on riot control was Democrat Edmund (Pat) Brown, who first telephoned Meese seeking advice on how to best handle the situation.
"I told him," Meese said, "that the people in that building should be arrested and taken out of there.
I told him that if they were allowed to stay, there would be another mob scene, even bigger, the next day."
Meese and Deputy District Attorney Lowell Jensen later served as co-counsels in the trial of Berkeley demonstrators.
Meese was recognized as one of five "Outstanding Young Men of California" by the California Junior Chamber of Commerce for his role in countering the Berkeley demonstrators.
Meese's role in quelling the riots at UC Berkeley have been identified by critics and supporters as an example of a conservative law-enforcement philosophy at work. 
In May 2006 Meese was named a member of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group by group co-chairmen James Baker III and Lee H. Hamilton, commissioned to assess and report on the contemporary status of the Iraq War.
Meese co-authored the group's final December 2006 report.
