The Las Vegas Mermaids

LVM a darkly comical electronic musical show!

About Me

For the unitiated the Mermaids are a three piece band whose act is part gig, part cabaret, part what-the-hell-is -going on. A darkly comical musical show incorporating short films, surreal character narratives and varied musical styles. These include Lenin’s Virulent Muscle, an agiti-actionist group, and Lost Vagabonds of Mordor, a troupe of unemployed performance poets and artists, and So Much More! Contact us at [email protected] for further details.
