As they gear up for the release of their self-titled album next month, indie rockers Old Mervs return to the road for a massive 17-date run of live shows.
Set to visit beachside towns to capital cities and everything in between, the tour (which runs from May to early July) will make stops in Adelaide, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney, Canberra, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Mackay, Airlie Beach, Cairns, Barwon Heads, Melbourne (x2 shows), Frankston and Castlemaine before a hometown show at Perth HPC (formally HBF Stadium) where the duo of Dave and Henry will personally select the extended artist line-up.After a recent UK tour – where they sold out shows in London, Manchester and Birmingham – Old Mervs placed #38 in triple j's Hottest 100 with 'What You've Lost', which will feature on the self-titled album that recorded with ARIA Award-winning producer Chris Collins.
Other album singles include 'Parched', 'Forget It', and 'See You Again' with Old Mervs releasing another track from the record today, titled 'Everyone Will See It'.
"It was the first song we wrote together with Chris Collins," Dave says of the new single. "We had some spare time at the end of the week's recording and decided to see what we could come up with.
"It feels fresh for us I think, and it definitely has a different groove which is always a nice change up. We wanted a big chorus for a big sing-along so hopefully that's what we get!"
The accompanying music video was compiled of behind the scenes footage, taken during the recording process at Chris' studio in the Byron Hinterland.
Tickets on sale from 12pm (local time) on 7 February.
