born from the ashes of former bournemouth band Mirrorball, Mercury Sound feature jason ,keith and drummer mark. after the break up of their former group the 3 decided to carry on in a new form, in many ways you could call this mirrorball concentrate, the power of the previous sound but now narrowed down to 3 instead of 5, the difference this time of also is that instead of hunting high and low for a new bass player and taking the time to work them into a group that is used to anticipating each others every musical move, they decided to do "a doors" and turn the bass duties to the keyboards, thus this gives the band an endless array of sonic variation (i.e. the bass is bigger and louder than before) the band are currently in the process of writing and recording material and have already played one very succesful gig at the ferry man and firkin in southampton at the start of 2007the time is now and mercury sound are here to stay

Sounds Like: "If one were to wish for a more cosmic act than Mercury Sound, the very fabric of the universe would be ripped apart. It's like the Flaming Lips with Animal on drums! These guys have an enormous sound, with a deep dark mysterious quality to it, and have such energy that they suck you in as if the music were a sonic wormhole to another dimension.Finally, as this vigorous, extraterrestrial stage-show reaches its pinnacle, as it seems to be stretching the very fabric of the universe with the intense power and mysticism of three men driven mad by the secrets of the universe, it comes to its colossal conclusion."
