THIRSTY MERC to support THE FRAY Australian tour March-April 2010

The Frontier Touring Company confirmed that pop rockers Thirsty Merc will be supporting The Fray on their upcoming Australian tour kicking off next month.

Thirsty Merc first burst onto the national scene in 2003 with their self-titled debut album which spawned a number of hits including ‘Emancipate Myself’, ‘Someday, Someday’ and ‘In the Summertime’. The album spent more than a year on the ARIA album charts selling over 120,000 copies.

The band’s sophomore album Slideshows continued to showcase the musical skill of Thirsty Merc, evidenced in the widely popular anthemic single ’20 Good Reasons’ which hit #1 on the iTunes chart. The band are currently working on a highly anticipated third album due later this year, however they will take a break from the studio to support The Fray on their national tour which is music to our ears!

Numerous national headline tours and an array of supporting slots, including Maroon 5 and Matchbox 20, have cemented Thirsty Merc’s reputation as one of the hardest working Aussie acts and their energetic live performances consistently thrill fans and critics alike.

To add to the excitement, Adelaide band The Sundance Kids will warm the stage at all shows on the tour. The quintet’s debut studio album Fall Into Place launched them into the limelight last March with the single ‘Solutions’ which peaked Top 10 on the National Australian Artists ARIA Chart. They are sure to capture audiences with their enticing pop hooks, charming piano flourishes and irresistible rhythms.

The addition of such stellar supports will undoubtedly please pop rock fans in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide making The Fray’s return to Australia an event not to be missed. Tickets are on sale and selling fast so secure yours now and be treated to an unforgettable show.
