About Me |
|
| ..From the streets of New York City comes the grittiest,
dirtiest, rockin' and rollin' band around! THE MERC'S are fronted by guitarist, singer , song writer Richard Mangogna's super aggressive style. Richard says, " THE MERC'S music is here for people to have a good time. We want you to smile, move your body, and sing along. No whiny politics here. If you want that, turn on CNN or Fox News. We are here to get you away from that . Let's take the paint off the wall ." RM is backed up by "Demon" Dan O'Malley, and Lou "The Machine " Ortega. Just listen to these guys play and let the music do the talking". RM is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Boston. Lou "The Machine" Ortega is an Ex-Marine. Demon Dan O'Malley is an Ex-Army SpecOps Their current mercenary jobs remain a mystery. In 1993, Mangogna starred in the New Line Cinema film "Amongst Friends"which was directed by Rob Weiss. His song on the new "Good Time Man" CD “I’m not alone” is about a policeman who is trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and makes his peace with God. The Merc’s debut album “Good Time Man” is comprised of 13 tracks and is dedicated to fallen officers Moira Smith, Robert Fazio and Brian McDonnell. “Good Time Man” is available at select retail stores. We are in the process of getting set-up at Amazon.com and iTunes.You can purchase our new CD online at our secure shopping cart: http://www.mercsband.comLive Performances!: Richard Mangogna performed a live SOLO performance at The Denver International Wine Festival on Saturday November 4, 2006. THE MERCS recently have been melting the paint off the walls of LEGENDARY KENNY'S CASTAWAYS NYC on regular basis. Mangogna says, " It is a pleasure and an honor to play in the same legendary club that Springsteen, The Police , Aerosmith , The Ramones, The New York Dolls, Blondie and Danny Gatton have played in. Clubs and concert venues should contact the Merc's Manager, Christopher Davies at 866 946-3268, Ext. 100. Have a rockin 2007!

Music:Member Since: 12/4/2006Band Website: mercsband.com Band Members: Richard "The Terminator " Mangogna- Guitar & Vocals, "Demon" Dan O'Malley -Bass, and Lou "The Machine " Ortega -Drums Influences: Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Billy Gibbons, Albert King, Robert Johnson , Link Wray, Eric Clapton, Elmore James, Brian Setzer, Joe Strummer, Mike Ness, Johnny Ramone , T-Bone Walker, Johnny Cash, The Boss, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams , Dwight Yoakam, Buddy Guy and The Killer It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of good deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best knows, in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Teddy Roosevelt April 23, 1910 You can't help where you were born and you may not have much to say about where you die, but you can and you should try to pass the days in between as a good man.
