That’s right MERGE Maniacs. After a long hiatus we’re finally back in the saddle. We’ve had a few personnel changes so let’s see if we can bring you up to date.
First off, BIG THANKS to Bryan (aka “Plan B”) for helping get this project rolling in the first place. He was one of the founders of MERGE and we hope to see him out at a show sometime so he can continue to party with us.
After a few personnel changes we’ve settled on a 5 piece line up with MERGE. The core line-up of Jonathan, Michelle and Keith remain and we’ve brought on Billy Hollywood and John (aka Slacko) from E7. Don’t worry E7 fans…E7 will continue on. John, Billy and Jonathan will simply be pulling double duty as they rock out with both E7 and MERGE. Now it will just be two separate bands with some similar faces, but slightly different formats. In the end, it’s all good. The new MERGE line up is a reunion of sorts from the days Billy, John, Jonathan, and Keith were “jammin” in old school E7. Anybody remember the days of “State of Independence”, “Oh Carolina”, and “Mr. Boombastic”!?
So anyway…we hope you’ll join us for our “Re-eMERGEnce.” Is that a word? Who cares! After knocking out a private party in early April, we’re kicking it up in Austin at Cool River Café. If you find yourself up in Austin on 4/7, we hope you’ll come join us. After that we’re helping our good friends Tony and Carla celebrate their wedding in style. More dates to come so stay tuned.
