About Mervin Gersh
Mervin Gersh write catchy, upbeat songs tinged with comic sadness. The Liverpool five-piece have a nice line in hooky melodies, soaring trumpets and downright dirty, funky basslines. Their music lies somewhere between The La’s and Gogol Bordello. Debut mini-album ‘Know Your Gersh’ is out now, featuring first single ‘Would I Lie To You’. The self-released album contains five songs which showcase Mervin Gersh’s crunchy Scouse twang, including live favourites ‘Home Again’ and ‘Kung Fu’. ‘Would I Lie To You’ has gained regular plays on local radio, and is currently being featured on Liverpool FC’s own TV channel, LFC TV. Mervin Gersh are: Ste Hotson (vocals/guitars), Jason Biggs (vocals/guitars), Simon Davies (vocals/bass), Jay Murphy (drums/percussion) and Chris ‘Chonga’ Doherty (trumpet). The band was formed in 2011 at the Albert Hotel on Liverpool’s bohemian Lark Lane. A shed-load of local gigs commenced, with the band quickly gaining a dedicated following. In February 2012 they took over 30 people with them to a gig at Limbo Live in Edinburgh, where the ‘Gersh treated fans old and new to a really good old-fashioned knees-up. “A joyous, riotous racket….On ‘Same Old Saturday’ they reveal their home town roots – it sounds like ‘Love Me Do’ vs ‘Rocky Racoon’. If only The Beatles were this much fun.” - Rob, Limbo Live “The mustachioed minstrals recently brought their rhythmic caravan of like minded individuals to the Lomax. Their set is full of hook driven stay in your head up beat tunes which I dare you not to get a groove on to.” - Frank Hedges, Lomax. So keep an eye out on the gigs page for more Gershy goings on… come on down and GET YOUR GERSH ON!! 'Know Your Gersh' is available now at shows, and can be downloaded at http://mervingersh.bandcamp.com. 3ft in length.
