The Mercury Program - Untitled

[joperrot]

Man, Dave is a phenomenal drummer. You guys are an absolute inspiration to musicians everywhere.

[SublimeDexter69]

still sounds great, wouldn't worry to much about the off timing...

[TMPtmpTMP4]

This is the first time we played it live. I was off beat and made the whole song sound different. It was supposed to sound like the recorded version

[dblazer321]

I guess this performance was before the album released

[mmx20115]

I agree, very underrated

[vasudevamusic]

[kpumaorn]

@DrJuice1 im not taking sides or anything, but this video was posted in 2008, before the album 'chez viking' even came out...back in 2008-2009, this was was called untitled on their myspace.

[CDSlik]

[Hogweed11]

The new album is possibly their best! Long live "Chez Viking"!

[MichiVarela]

@Hogweed11 It is, indeed. The only thing they have been doing since their first album is increasing the awesomeness. Not many bands can say that! :D

[donkashane94]

theyre amazinnggg

[crustyshirt]

i wanna go outside

[bellelitristic]

Now we know this song is called Chez Viking!

[ejicon]

Yeap. No Longer Untitled 2. This song honest rocks like no other. I still like the live version best, but overall, this song is super-wicked!

[justacoment]

just to say thanks to one of my favorite bands...thank you for your music...greetings from bosnia...balkans....

[18Pineapples]

When is this CD going to come out? They said spring of 09' and it's fall. I am not interested in waiting any longer.

[iBomb24]

[Trymyshoes8]

nonsense

[MichiVarela]

You don't have to wait anymore, the new album is here! :D

[ejicon]

It's out. Go buy it on itunes or the bands website

[zenlikethat]

vibes rule

[janoscaff]

MP rules !

[ledestroyer]

I WANT TEQUESTA!! but this will also do because they are like midas: gold to the touch

i like poke the robot!

[KashiwaDaisuke]

I uploaded Tequesta a while back, in case you're still looking for it on YouTube.

[dorkball5]

what is this hippiy shit. im kidding you guys are gggrrrreeeeaaaaaaatttttttltjtt­tttttlltjktjlttttttttttttttttl­hljhohoti88ttt

[AtmaRising]

energize

[xGozzax]

Goosebumps!~!

Only a little while before their album arrives!

TMP is indeed the greatest band in the world today!

[kmkoren]

Is that Tom Brady playing guitar?

[brent07]

wow. amazing indeed.

[locustmunch]

Ho. Ly. Shit.

[logwind]

Fucking talent.

[Hogweed11]

Does anyone know if this track will be on the new album?

[introgression]

yes it twill

[CallitSane]

So amazing!

[iheartmetal17]

A studio version of this song is on their myspace page

[Hogweed11]

Wow!

[MichiVarela]

Tracklist and title for the new album are out. I had no idea!

[TritoneMcgee]

Oh man, I am freaking out! I can't stand the wait.

I am a jaded progressive/experimental music fan and I tell you The Mercury Program is the greatest band in the world today.

[iheartmetal17]

Where can i find this song?

[cloud1232006]

so sick!

[drubie67]

krunchy-ass jam...

[TheyCallHimDale]

So crisp. So clean

so energetic.

[AirHendrix91]

What LP is this off of?

[AirHendrix91]

I love All Our Suits Began To Fall Off, man.

They really know how to set a mood.

[Thatch4244]

nasty!

[ejicon]

two shows coming up in 2009:Orlando & Gainesville

they were postpone for this year but I'm pretty sure they'll set things up again. I'd fly out there in a heartbeat if I could.

[MichiVarela]

They are always amazing.

It's a pity the split :(

[chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas]

From what I know they're actually working on a new album at the moment.

[MichiVarela]

Yeah, I heard something about that, but there's not much information. I hope they really are working on that new album. El Ten Eleven is good, and so is Maseratti, but they lack the perfect mixture The Mercury Program's members make.

[FredrickNielson]

I think all three of those bands should go on tour.

[MichiVarela]

Dang, that'd be crazy

[ejicon]

split is over.... they are back with a new album, new label and new shows coming up. Thank Goodness

[MichiVarela]

Hooray for that.

I don't think they'll come to Europe, even less to Spain, but hope is the last thing you lose.

I'm looking forward for some info on that new album and label, cause I can't find a thing in official webs.

[Thatch4244]

they didnt split they all live in different citys but they were working on an album in greece this year. i am pretty sure they just dont feel like doing doing shows and being a band as the only thing they do. they're still togeather

[coitalcephalgia]

god i would fucking kill to see this band live.

[TrainOfThought93]

the drummers drums sound sooooo good i want that sound now!

[skiesburngrey]

amazing band...enough said

[ejicon]

Thanx for reposting this. I know it was taken down for awhile. I can't stop listening to it. It's so much powerful live than the studio recording.

[chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas]

I agree completely. Could quite possibly be that all their live recordings are that much better than their studio stuff since I don't enjoy their CDs as much as this song for example.

Still a really great band.

[lesvegas5]

so super emensley awsome

[lesstheproduct]

please, for the love of music, get this new material out. It's absolutely brilliant. There is some live videos in japan of TMP which are well worth watching, such a good live band.

[harshdrummer512]

one of my favorite live band videos on youtube.

[BURNINGSIGN]

amazing sound!!

[phuture5]

sounds like a post rock version of STS9 (sound tribe sector nine)

[breadboxed]

wow this sounds so ppphat

the drumming sort of reminds me of jon theodores from the mars volta

[AnarchistWeasel]

From an e-mail I got from Tom in March:

"There is a new TMP record that is almost completed...well, the basic tracking is all done anyway. Hopefully we'll find some time to get together and get it done soon."

Keep your fingers crossed!

[smitnz]

Man I am hanging out for a new release!

[nogochickenfro]

Me, too. I didn't find out about these guys until long after the last tour.

Lets all hopethe new album also brings another tour!

[j4mbs]

here's what I know- Tom (guitarist) lives in Gainesville FL w/his wife and is a graphic/web designer, Dave (drummer) lives in NYC and periodically visits Gainesville to play w/ a band called Papercranes, Sander (bass) also lives in NYC still (I think)- and I want to say he's a chef?, and Whit (keys) lives in Colorado I believe, I dunno what he's up to.

If anyone can get ahold of the No Idea records 'Back to Donut' comp, give the Mercury Program track on there a listen, you'll be suprised.

[radiowilco]

anybody has the rest of the show?

[profsmirk]

Yes, I know it's not Egypt. My bad for saying it was. :-)

[naturalbluesky]

I used to listen to these guys all the time. They are still amazing but where have they gone? I haven't seen any news on their site since 2006.

[TritoneMcgee]

Their myspace says that they're basically on hiatus at the moment. They say they all have different priorities and that they don't know when they'll be back.

What sucks is they have new material playing on their myspace but it's unfinished and there is no plan for an album or tour at the moment.

What sucks even more is that I just discovered these guys a month ago and they became one of my favorite bands. Then I discover that the band is done for the forseable future.

*sigh*

[smitnz]

This doesn't sound like egypt to me...

[heloizyjhenifer]

neither does it to me

[profsmirk]

You're right, gave it a second listen. Definately not "Egypt". Must be an improv groove.

[OLTJOE]

go to their myspace, it's for a possible 7 or 10 inch. Yes it's new, no it's not Egypt.

[profsmirk]

nope it's an old song... it's called "Egypt" and it's from the "A Data Learn the Language" album

[resonance2012]

duh what i dont get it

[matterkam]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[doncabb]

thank you for putting this back on, I missed it!

[eastcoastfool]

i've been looking for their cd for a while, cant seem to find it anywhere...then again... i'm in korea...

[CoVebAlla508]

this is really good shit ive been a fan for a while. respect that shit

[gldsndz]

Awesome!! Is it a new song?

[WillWatson23]

sick ass fuckin drummer
