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).

Give Thanks

It's not just good manners to thank people for a job well done. It also creates a sense of goodwill and encourages continued focus on the subject for which they're being thanked. So thank the soundman at the Fine Line when he gives Mercurial Rage the best sound they've yet had. Thank Ed Ackerson for a fantastic surprise performance of Judas Priest's "Living After Midnight" during the extremely rockin' Melismatics set. Thank the fan that that sought out the Rage boys for their autograph after the show.

And what about the radio? The piece from "The World" is now archived. Be sure to thank the show via theworld@pri.org for supporting the Super Split Singles Club. Contact Minnesota Public Radio to thank them for airing "The World" and to request that they play Mercurial Rage on The Current. Thank Todd Melby melby@bitstream.net for doing the story and choosing Mercurial Rage as the local Minneapolis band to focus on.

Thank the KFAI program MN Soundtrack MNSoundtrack@gmail.com for playing The Funeral Sessions last week. Thank the Radio K program Off the Record for choosing Mercurial Rage as their Local Kebut in July and to request that they continue to support them with additional airings of other songs.

And thanks to you for helping to spread the music of Merc Rage across the airwaves!
