Old Mervs

Fri 8 May

An unbreakable bond shared between lifelong mates, Dave and Henry hail from the tiny farmingcommunity of Kojonup, a town three hours south of Perth, Western Australia. Starting out as schoolfriends and rehearsing in a makeshift space in an old farm shed, Old Mervs are a far cry from theirhumble beginnings.


In 2024, the duo hit home runs, selling out their biggest headline show to date at the Fremantle Arts Centre in WA plus a stack of shows across Australia and New Zealand. The fast-rising band alsoembarked on their first UK headline tour, selling out venues in London, Manchester and Birmingham.


Old Mervs kicked 2025 off with a bang, placing at 38 in the triple j Hottest 100 with “What You’ve Lost” and releasing their self-titled debut album. Recorded with ARIA award-winning producer Chris Collins, the album scored triple j’s Feature Album of the week, winning hearts with hits “Parched“, “What You’ve Lost”, “Forget It”, “See You Again”, “Everyone Will See It” and a stack of new tunes including focus track “Don’t Go”.


Their album debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts, as well as reaching #1Vinyl Album,#1 Digital Album and a hugely impressive #4 on the Overall Charts, wedged in between Billie Eilish and Selena Gomez.


2025 was been a year of touring with a mammoth 20 date album tour across Australia and New Zealand, their debut US tour including sets at world-renowned Lollapalooza, and rounding out the year with a return to the UK and debut shows in Europe.


This year, Old Mervs have not slowed down, with their own “On A Truck” shows in regional WA, along with a 12 date regional Australian tour. They’ve just released a new single “Heavy In The Morning” and in May will return to the US for a monster headline tour, along with festival appearances at New York’s Gov Ball, Kilby Block Party and Summerfest, before jetting across to the UK and Europe.
