THE MERCY KILLS is a four-piece rock band from St.Kilda (Melbourne) featuring Jen X Costello on bass, Nathalie Gellé on guitar, Josh Black on drums and Mark Entwistle on guitar and vocals. Mark Entwistle began The Mercy Kills in 2006 as a three piece but gigged around Melbourne together as a quartet since 2008. Mark E, Jen X, Nathalie Gelle and Josh Black fell in together over similar tastes in music (Sonic Youth , New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, Ramones…) and the desire to kick out a great live show. Half male-half female distortion fuelled quartet, their music has been described as brash, bold, dirty, energetic, and sleazy. All compliments they’ll gladly accept.
