2016, The Mercy Kills is a four-piece rock band from St. Kilda (Melbourne) featuring Jen X Costello on bass, Nathalie Gellé on guitar, Josh Black on drums and Mark Entwistle on guitar and vocals. Mark Entwistle began The Mercy Kills in 2006 as a three piece but gigged around Melbourne together as a quartet since 2008. Mark E, Jen X, Nathalie Gelle and Josh Black fell in together over similar tastes in music (Sonic Youth, New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, Ramones) and the desire to kick out a great live show. Half male-half female distortion fuelled quartet, their music has been described as brash, bold, dirty, energetic, and sleazy. All compliments they'll gladly accept. The Mercy Kills took their name from a line in Rocky Horror (´It was a Mercy Killing`). With the support of PARADISE MOTEL, their first Europe album release, they're coming for a full throttle tour of clubs and Festivals. So be ready, they're going to kick your asses like a troop of Tasmanian rock devils.
