THE MERCY KILLS met in St Kilda, Melbourne. They knew each other from the local live music scene. Mark E, Jen X, Nathalie Gelle and Josh Black fell in together over similar tastes in music and the desire to kick out a great live show. Since deciding on THE MERCY KILLS for a name (taken from a line in Rocky Horror) the foursome set a frantic pace of writing songs, playing shows and recording. In early 2010 THE MERCY KILLS recorded the single Wasting/Save closely followed by their EP, New Rule. Cherry Rock was next, being invited to join a killer line up of great bands including Rose Tattoo at Cherry Bar in AC/DC Lane, Melbourne. 2011 was a busy year for TMK with more recording, interstate shows, live to air performances on 3RRR, 3PBS and the cable TV show Rock'n'Roll DNA on FOXTEL. In June THE MERCY KILLS were thrilled to be asked to play alongside YOU AM I and TUMBLEWEED for the 2011 Reclink Community Cup at Elsternwick Park. The day was a great success with thousands of people
