Thirsty Merc announce a national tour for October and November!

thirsty-merc-2010

THIRSTY MERC have announced dates for their national SPRING Tour, which will see them play twenty-four dates through seven states and territories this October/November. Kicking off in regional New South Wales, the tour gives the homegrown four-piece an opportunity to deliver new hits and old favourites to fans around the country. 

Following on from the hugely successful ‘Mousetrap Heart’ album tour earlier this year, and with some 300 shows under their belt, THIRSTY MERC have proven why they are one of Australia’s premier live music acts. With each live performance the band showcases an unrivalled level of musicianship paired with an infectious passion and absolute commitment to the delivery of their cleverly crafted songs. They will step it up a notch for the SPRING Tour with a new live show and a few surprises to keep loyal fans on their toes.

Recorded in Los Angeles with super producer Matt Wallace [Faith No More, Maroon 5], the album MOUSETRAP HEART (in stores now) signifies a revamped and reinvigorated THIRSTY MERC, and reintroduces the band with a dynamic new sound. The Sydney outfit are clearly feeling refreshed, and you can hear it in the music. Everything is tighter and funkier, with an unmistakable bounce in their step.

Catch THIRSTY MERC in concert this October/November for an unforgettable live music experience. Tickets on sale now!
