dirtiest, rockin' and rollin' band around!
THE MERC'S are fronted by guitarist, singer , song writer Richard Mangogna's
super aggressive style. Richard says, " THE MERC'S music is
here for people to have a good time. We want you to smile,
move your body, and sing along. No whiny politics here. If
you want that, turn on CNN or Fox News. We are here to
get you away from that . Let's take the paint off the wall ."
RM is backed up by "Demon" Dan O'Malley,
and Lou "The Machine " Ortega.
Just listen to these guys play and let the music do the talking".
RM is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Boston.
Lou "The Machine" Ortega is an Ex-Marine.
Demon Dan O'Malley is an Ex-Army SpecOps
Their current mercenary jobs remain a mystery.
