Lady Mercedes is the kicking and screaming, issue ridden, flea-bitten toe rag of Brett McIntosh, Ray Evans and Leigh & Phil Collingbourne, formed a few years back with a one track mind to kick out the jams.
The result are some soulful rootsy vocals, meshed with a metallic/bluesy lead guitar and a drum and bass combo that would make a boulder bleed.
As far as we see it, Rock 'n' Roll is about having an open mind, a clenched fist, and a willingness to take a risk at your own peril.
Influences come flying in from all over, try The Stones, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, The Doors, The New York Dolls, AC/DC and so on, but it’s a shared passion of the spontaneous nature of real rock n’ roll that brings out the good side (or bad side) in these boys. And with no great surprise, the band caught the eye of Aberdeen's "Fat Hippy Records" and by winning a local battle of the bands competition, they won the chance to cut their first album on the local independent label and "Red Light Fever" was released and sold around Aberdeen, resulting in minor success. The disc boasted the sinister voodoo swing of "The Rattlesnake and The Dragon", the heart attack grind of "Sounding Sweetly Evil" and the booze soaked country stomp "Hey Lady Hey". The boys took the album on the road in order to win over crowds around Britain. However, cracks began to appear as the four strong personalities took their toll on each other leading to a brief split. During the split, Guitarist Kris Harris joined up with Brett & Ray and several drummers played with the guys, while Leigh & Phil formed the Money Shot.
However in such a small city and with such a unique energy, it was decided that these four were the only ones who could really work together and make something truly amazing happen whether they liked it or not & the band picked up were they left off with a very successful comeback show on New Years Eve 2005.
Since then the band have went from strength to strength, playing shows in London, Cambridge, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh, including a slot on the "Freedom Stage" at the 2008 Wizard Festival.
