Thirsty Merc Booking Agency Profile

Book Thirsty Merc for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Thirsty Merc is an Australian indie rock band that was founded in Sydney. The original line-up included singer/guitarist Rai Thistlethwayte, lead guitarist Matt Baker, bassist Phil Stack and drummer Karl Robertson. The band released its debut EP, First Work and scored hits with the songs "Wasting Time" and "Emancipate Myself." The band's subsequent self-titled full-length, which featured the songs "My Completeness" and "Someday, Someway," made it into the Top 20 of the Australian LP charts. Despite the album's success, Baker left the band soon after it was released and the remaining trio hired Sean Carey, the former guitarist for Midnight Swim, to take his place. When Thirsty Merc released an enhanced version of the album, the extra track "When the Weather Is Fine" became a modest hit.
Following Carey's departure, Matt Smith of the afrobeat and reggae group The Strides took over on the guitar for Thirsty Merc. Carey desired a career as a music producer. While the album's lead single, had debuted in May and peaked in the Top 30 on the ARIA Singles Chart, the band undertook a national tour in support of it. Tommy and Krista, the second single, was released in September and reached its high at position 10 in New Zealand. The video trailers for the AFL grand final incorporated another song, "All My Life," in them. Adrian Van de Velde was the music video's director and it was filmed in Bangkok, Thailand, around the beginning of October..

An example fee to book Thirsty Merc is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.

There is low probability to book Thirsty Merc for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range.

By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Thirsty Merc, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price.
