SLIDESHOWS is a glistening collection of 12 new melodic, rocking tracks from one of Australia's most popular and hard-working bands. Since first bursting onto the national scene back in 2003, the Sydney-based Thirsty Merc have quickly built up a reputation as one of the country's best live acts. Word-of-mouth and hundreds of shows around Australia - and, of course, a swag of great songs - saw the first Thirsty Merc CD spend over a year on the ARIA album charts and end up selling over 120,000 copies. And now, this is SLIDESHOWS - sit back and prepare for a considerably different Thirsty Merc experience.
