Mercury Legion formed
in June of 2000, originally as a five member band. After
about a year of playing and a debut album, the second
guitarist decided to leave the band due to creative
differences. Now a four piece unit of complementary
musicians, Mercury Legion is more solid than ever before.
The idea behind Mercury Legion has always been to create
music outside of the boring formula cookie cutter crap
currently being fed to the masses. Mercury Legion was
founded on the idea that music should be original, authentic,
fun, entertaining and undeniably energetic. Mercury
Legion’s music contains a diverse mix of sounds,
from feel-good rock tunes to technical punk with a metal
edge. Humor and sarcasm also play a big role in Mercury
Legion’s music as evidenced by many of their lyrics.
Mercury Legion has been continually productive
from inception to the present day and plans on sharing
their music with as many people as possible.
A few months after forming, Mercury Legion recorded
its debut album, Beauty is in the Eye of the Beer Holder.
About a year later, Mercury Legion recorded a second
album called, It Happened on a Friday Night, with the
infamous Jason Sears from the band RKL (Rich Kids on
LSD) performing lead vocals. Mercury Legion also recorded
songs for two tribute albums in honor of punk legends
RKL and DRI (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles). The RKL tribute
album is titled For Those About to Trip and the DRI
tribute album is titled We Don’t Need Society
--both put out by Malt Soda Recordings. Mercury Legion
is currently putting the finishing touches on their
third full length release titled, It’s a Wonderful
Life, which will be available in the summer of 2004.
Mercury Legion frequently performs live throughout the
San Diego area and has played with RKL in Santa Barbara
and DRI in Los Angeles. Mercury Legion is now ready
to do some touring so be sure not to miss their unforgettable
live performance when they come to a town near you.
