Drinking Mercury Ionia Show!

dm-steele-street
Here’s a ponderous little number for ya – Drinking Mercury, not exactly the most regular live performing band in the first place, will be playing at Steele Street Brewing in Ionia, not exactly the most regular live performance venue, Saturday March 10th! This is release party number one for The Sexy Murders/ Drinking Mercury split LP so that’s neat. Drinking Mercury was the “first” GTG band way back in the day and the core of folks that founded GTG – and the ones that have been there the whole time, i.e. The Plurals, Pudvay, Sleeping Timmy, Tommy’s cousin Michael, etc – all met each other through Drinking Mercury playing shows in Ionia in the early 2000s, so this is a homecoming of sorts for the whole damn GTG thing. Come have some craft beer, eat some pizza, listen to a couple sets from subdued beardy indie rocker guys, pick up a vinyl, and see if Drinking Mercury can pull off their old-school shenanigans in their 30s and get the fire marshal to shut the show down. On March 24th we’ll be doing another release party at Street Kitchen in Lansing, stay tuned!

The first GTG release of 2017 (one of at least 12!) is out today, The Hunky Newcomers live album Harder Dude Stuff. In their first release in three years, the most loveable dirtbags in Lansing burn through 14 songs from all of their releases, louder, faster, and harder than the records we all know by heart. Recorded last year at a rowdy night at Lansing institution Mac’s Bar, Harder Dude Stuff delivers the goods! Out today digitally and on CD, check it out below as well as a new lyric video for “Gimme A Shot.” Let’s make the New Year happy!
