More information at http://www.mermen.net/ Looks like they are trying to fund the album through pre-sales. My favorite so far is Demo 3 BIT. I'm looking forward to hearing the finished product. only 4 months away... -Darren |

Interview with Jim Thomas of the Mermen and Abe Perlstein of www.EsteroBayRadio.com from December 12, 2017 is now at archive.org. Features previews of cuts from both new CDs. Merry Christmas! https://archive.org/details/JimThomasInterviewWithAbeDecember2017 The little lighthouse on the cover of "We Could See It in the Distance" is the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum. Coincidentally I stayed a few days in that area last summer with my family. In the event you missed it, here's Jim's interview with Abe Perlstein from March 21, 2017 where the recording of a new CD was first announced. Some older cuts are played. https://archive.org/details/JimThomasInterviewTuesdayLunchWithAbePerlstein03-21-2017 Last edited: Dec 24, 2017 09:55:02 |

just received both new releases in the mail a few days ago. Really awesome CD's. I like getting recordings direct from the band...the return address was "The Mermen", Santa Cruz, Ca. Thought that was cool. |
