Man, I'm having a great time being the bearer of awesome news this week. Today, we're announcing Oh Mercy to play the Sonicbids Official SXSW Party, presented by JanSport and our friends at Planetary Group! Join Oh Mercy and us for the party all day Friday, March 16 from 11:30-5:30 at Maggie Mae's.
Oh Mercy, headed by Alexander Gow, has been turning some serious heads these days, so we couldn't be more excited to have them on board. Their new album, Great Barrier Grief, debuted at number 13 on the Australian ARIA album chart and was recently nominated for two ARIA Awards. The album was featured on Triple J radio Australia, 3fm in The Netherlands and added to over 100 US College radio stations while the bizarrely subtle video clip for the single “Stay, Please Stay” quickly surpassed 200,000 plays on YouTube. (Check it out, below!)
Oh Mercy are no newbies to SXSW. Alexander remembers his last SXSW trip: “Austin was very cold. It was there that I bought beers as big as my face for one dollar.”
Alexander, we're so looking forward to sharing a $1 beer with you.
And don't forget you can still tell us who should play our last slot at our party - vote here (and RSVP while you're at it!).
