Old Mervs
Thu 26 Sep
This is a licensed all ages show—people under the age of 18 will need to attend the event in the company of a responsible adult.
Lifelong friends Henry Carrington-Jones and David House (Old Mervs) grew up together on farms outside of Kojonup, a tiny town approximately three hours south of Perth, Western Australia. As high schoolers they cleared out a stable to use as a rehearsal space for their new band, named after one of Henry’s family farm working dogs. With Henry on drums and David on guitar/vox, it was truly humble beginnings.
Nowadays, Old Mervs are considered one of the most exciting rock acts in Australia. Breakout singles Cellphone (2020), Where I Go (2022), and Sweetheart (2023) have been streamed in the millions; while their second EP, Give It Up (2023), debuted at #2 on the ARIA Australian Albums chart; and in January Sweetheart landed at #47 in the 2023 triple j Hottest 100.
