Old Mervs

Lifelong friends **Henry Carrington-Jones** and **David House (Old Mervs)** grew up together on farms outside of Kojonup, a tiny town approximately three hours south of Perth, Western Australia. As high schoolers they cleared out a stable to use as a rehearsal space for their new band, named after one of Henry’s family farm working dogs. With Henry on drums and David on guitar/vox, it was truly humble beginnings.

Nowadays, **Old Mervs** are considered one of the most exciting rock acts in Australia. Breakout singles _‘Cellphone’_ (2020), _‘Where I Go’_ (2022), and _‘Sweetheart’_ (2023) have been streamed in the millions; while their second EP, _Give It Up_ (2023), debuted at #2 on the ARIA Australian Albums chart; and in January _‘Sweetheart’_ landed at #47 in the 2023 triple j Hottest 100.

The duo has supported huge international artists, including **Liam Gallagher and The Wombats**, as well as local heroes **Spacey Jane** and **King Stingray**. They also boast a dedicated fanbase of their own, having sold out multiple national tours and performed heroic appearances on premiere festival line-ups, including **Splendour In The Grass**, **Groovin the Moo** and **Yours and Owls**.

They’re set to play the biggest shows of their career in 2024, when they embark on their _**‘How The Fark Are Ya?**_’ tour across Australia and NZ, this August and September.
