Since moving from the West coast town of Ceduna, 2005 for the MERRg has proven to be a rather busy schedule for the band. Founding members for the band Michael and Robert before moving to Adelaide were involved in a number of high profile West Coast musical projects.

Adelaide, in 2005, has shown to be just as busy for the band having played at a number of high profile venues and major events their schedule does'nt seem to be letting up.

Whilst the MERRg struggles to fit into any one particular genre the bands principal songwriter Robert likes to refer to his music as ballodic a mixture of melodic ballads.

The bands' current line up is very versatile and can be seen at gigs swapping instruments to suit the needs of the song.

MERRg has commenced work on its CD after strong requests from musical appreciators after our performances.
