Old Mervs Announce New Zealand Album Release Tour

Here just last August on their How The Fark Are Ya Tour, Western Australia's Old Mervs must have taken a shine to Aotearoa's famous pies or something, as they've just announced a new round of local headline dates — hitting Tāmaki Makaurau, Pōneke and Ōtautahi this coming May. The hard-gigging team of Henry Carrington-Jones and David House honed their sun-soaked guitar / drums craft growing up together in the small town of Kojonup (estimated population 878, just over 250 kilometres south-east of Perth), since attracting high profile support slots for Liam Gallagher and The Wombats, plus a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2024 Rolling Stone Australia Awards. Finally unveiling their self-titled debut album on 21st March (preorders available HERE), go give Old Mervs a warm welcome back at the following dates as part of their extensive Australasian release tour, before they blow up even further...
