   About The Mergatroid
**************************************************************
When UNPEELED heard us, they said "We dream of a mini-fest in our back field and The Mergatroid would be one of the ten bands on the bill... Shambolic and lovely... Yelping, yowling and diddling around like some kind of punked out and pumped up Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band wrestling with old Sex Pistols b-sides. Be aware, The Mergatroid are slick, for all of the throwaway, broken string, toy piano, cardboard drumming and all that, lo-fi charming, they are tight, switching tempo, key and attack with precision and grace..." Yes! I'm punching the air.

So, have you guys reformed then? Am I reading too much into all this internet stuff? Tbf, it is 3am, so my brain could be playing cruel tricks on me.

First Shed 7, then Carter USM, then Lawnmower Deth, and now Mergatriod reforming! Then I'd just need Belinda Carlisle to reform, and I'd be as happy as one of them there happy things....

I never really liked Megadeath, but Mergadeath upsets me SO much more. Sort it out. I expect a fornightly review of your post-troidian plans and prior notice of the reunion tour; Pink Floyd got together again, so why can't you?!

Love and crumpets.

Dear Mourners:
It's all true. We WERE The Mergatroid. The WEREgatroid, that's what we were.

If you enjoyed The Mergatroid, you may be interested to know that there are many other pop groups in existence. You might like to try, for example, Deerhoof, Youthmovies, Feist, Family Riot, Beirut, Fantomas, Zoogz Rift, Polar Bear, The Pipettes, David Goo, Kunt & The Gang, The Cinematic Orchestra, The Niel Cowley Trio, Ten Foot Nun, Thumpermonkey, Fujiya & Miyagi, Gold Teeth, Herbie Hancock, Left With Pictures and Katy Perry, each of which features elements familiar to listeners of The Greatest Band Ever.

Enjoy your lives, much beloved soul-soaked empaths.

(Every time you listen to Sackcloth, a fairy dies, by the way. I probably should have told you all sooner. Soz.)

RIPrapprap.

V. sad to hear that Da Mergz are no longer the hard-hitting rap quartet you once were. When you have such fine specimens as Kanye & Busta Rhymes out there, it's hard to compete, I understand. I hope that you all go on to have excellent musical careers & that if any of you join a new band that gets to play a festival next summer, you slide me a free wristband through the 8ft wire fencing that separates the little people from the musical demigods.

P.s. I blame Thatcher.
