MERC MUSIC FESTIVAL



It seems the music world has latched onto the Merc movement, and I’m not talking cars here. The British Retro brand have recently confirmed that the ‘Plain White T’s’ will be launching the Merc Music Fest on May 9th, at their store in Carnaby Street.

The Grammy nominated Plain White T’s from across the Atlantic, renown for their #1 single ‘Hey There Delilah’, have done no bad thing making friends with the London fashion boys.

Slapping a Merc jacket across your chest is becoming a healthy habit for bands including The Hoosiers, Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy, Razorlight and even Greenday. (But we won’t go on about that.)

The 2008 Merc Music Series is set be a sequence of fortnightly gigs that will cost the spectator absolutely nothing. Bands such The Troubadours, The Sigma and The Foxes have all signed up for the late May and June slots.

It looks like London’s about to get Louder.
