‘Set Your Mind to Fly’ - the new album from Wellington’s Mercury Crowe was released in May 2009 to over 600 eagerly awaiting fans in both Auckland and Wellington. Recorded mainly live over three days, the self-produced album sinks comfortably into a range of styles - spanning filthy blues riffs, Beatles-esque harmonies, story -telling ballads and foot stomping rock. It also marks a new rough-edged sound for the Crowe who wanted to convey the energy and space of their live shows on the new album.
The nine-track album credits song-writing from all four band members and features long time collaborator Ed Zuccollo (Harbour City Electric) on Hammond Organ, and the phenomenal Lisa Tomlins (Fat Freddy’s Drop, Hollie Smith) singing backing vocals. It’s a big step forward from their debut e.p ‘Mercury Crowe’ (2007) and, while both were similarly produced, mixed and designed by the band themselves; it’s clear the year-and-a-half between was spent honing their craft from the stage. The result is nine well delivered, road tested, sing-able rock-n-roll songs.
‘Set Your Mind to Fly' is available at The CD & DVD Store, or at iTunes

Hey guys, We've got our final gig of the year on Weds 17th at The Adelaide, and it would be lovely if you guys could come along and have a drink with us. We'll be celebrating all our hard work for the year. It's free entry, bingo from 8pm, guest performers from 9pm, and after that people can have a jam or can just chill out and join me for a drink. Hope you can make it. (Sorry for the late notice - I've been flat out, and only just made it onto the computer). P
