Mercurial Rage CD/Video Release Party Tonight!!

Mercurial Rage will be premiering their new video for Give it Up at the Fine Line for their CD Party. This event will take place prior to their set, which gives you even another reason to come out and hang with TheRage on tonight!!!

Also, we have yet to hear a song from the new record on 89.3 The Current, and we would love your help making that happen.

Mercurial Rage would be grateful if you would take the time to request a song from our new self titled record, Mercurial Rage.
(Released on June 7th @ The Fine Line Music Cafe)

Posted on their myspace account are Give it Up and Moonlight from the new record. For super fans, you can also pick Situation or Out of Control. Please take a listen to these and choose which one you like.

Then click on this link:

http://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=e7d78b6c2e2d

Request one of those tunes, and let them know how much you love them in the comments!!!

And do not forget...

Mercurial Rage will celebrate its self-titled second album with a release party on Saturday, June 7, at the Fine Line Music Cafe (318 First Ave. N, Minneapolis).

The Minneapolis-based band latest release comes on the heels of its critically acclaimed The Funeral Sessions, which debuted last June.

Mercurial Rage includes two remixes from The Funeral Sessions and four original tracks with lyrics written by Chris Hill.

"The new record is a benchmark for the bands creative process," Christopher Church said. "These are songs we had been working on in the months prior to putting out our last record. As soon as the last record dropped we wasted no time in getting into the studio to do this follow up."

"Mercurial Rage has always had the melancholy dance element, Michael Di'Greggario added. "But this release adds a dash of pure rock and soul to the mix to give us a distinct voice that I believe we have been aspiring toward."

Mercurial Rage, which hit the local music scene three years ago, consists of lead vocalist Michael Di'Greggario, bassist Christopher Church (former member of Lunar 9 and Medication), keyboardist Brock Landers and guitarist Butch McQueen (former member of The TV Sound and Medication).

The band recently signed with MPLS Ltd., a Minneapolis-based record label that includes musical acts First Communion Afterparty, Basement Apartment and The Flavor Crystals.

Mercurial Rage was recorded at Flowers Studios, produced and engineered by Ed Ackerson (Polara, 27 Various, The Dig, Sideways).

New Record and Shows Shows Shows!!!

Dearest RageHeads,

We wanted to reach out to our lovely fans to let them know our latest developments in Mercurial Rage HQ. First we are proud to announce that our second release in less then a year is about to be unveiled! A month after we released the Funeral Sessions, we were privileged to record some new tracks with critically acclaimed producer Ed Ackerson. (Polera, 27 Various, The Dig, Sideways) We mulled over what to do with these tracks for several months, and continued to push The Funeral Sessions and play many more shows. Fortunately, DJ Christian Fritz of MPLS Ltd. offered to release our latest recordings on his label. We are honored to be a part of his family, which includes local artists Basement Apartment, First Communion Afterparty, Bridge Club, The Flavor Crystals and Ouija Radio. Therefore, we are tentatively planning on a CD Release show this spring, and we will be certain to give you the exact date once it has been booked.

Secondly, we have a number of shows coming up that we would love for you to attend. The first of these shows is on Friday, March 14th at Club Underground with Bella Koshka and The Invincible Kids. We are headlining this show, and we promise to play our dirtiest/darkest new wave set possible. Therefore, walk down the stairs of Club Underground with an extra coating of eyeliner, for this is certain to be one of the best nights of music in town!

Cake! Butch McQueen surprised Chris Church with a birthday cake at the Kitty Cat Klub. There was even a lovely audience singalong of Happy Birthday in the middle of the set on Saturday night. Shout out to birthday girl Amanda, too! There most likely won't be any frosting-covered festivities at the Fine Line on Thursday (on stage at least) but it will definitely be a dancetastic show!

World News

Tonight Mercurial Rage was going to convene at the swank loft apartment of Butch McQueen to record an interview for BBC World radio. And then tragedy struck. Clearly the journalist had another story to cover. Our hearts go out to all those that were injured and lost loved ones. Please check in here so we know that you're OK.

Or come down to Clubhouse Jager on Friday to see everyone in person!
