An unbreakable bond shared between lifelong mates, Dave and Henry hail from the tiny
farming community of Kojonup, a town three hours south of Perth, Western Australia.
Starting out as school friends and rehearsing in a makeshift space in an old farm shed, Old
Mervs are a far cry from their humble beginnings.
Riding a wave of wins, Old Mervs are celebrating a massive 2025 after the success of their
ARIA-charting debut album release and sold out tours across Australia, the United States, the
UK and Europe.
Recorded with ARIA award-winning producer Chris Collins, their debut self-titled album scored
coveted Australian youth broadcaster triple j’s Feature Album of the week and landed at #1 on
the ARIA album charts, winning hearts with hits “Parched“, “What You’ve Lost”, “Forget It”,
“Everyone Will See It” and “Don’t Go”.
In 2025, the pair embarked on a mammoth 20 date album tour across Australia and New
Zealand along with their biggest headline home-state show to date at Perth HPC. They then
headed to the US to play at world-renowned festival Lollapalooza alongside names like Olivia
Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator and Sabrina Carpenter, bookended by a massive run of headline
shows across the States, stopping in for a Audiotree session too. They closed out the year with
a return to the UK and their first ever shows in Europe.
This year looks to be just as big, if not bigger. With new music in the pipeline, and a stack of
touring at home and across the globe, Old Mervs are thrilled to return to the US again for a
stack of huge headline shows, along with Kilby Block Party, Gov Ball and more dates to be
announced!
