That’s right folks… the moment hopefully all of you have been waiting for. The new record is wild, untamed, genuine and full of groove. And it’s called ‘Kriller’ – what’s not to like there? As we are an independent band, making an album is not cheap, but we’ve managed to fund it, except the pressing. Vinyl and CD it shall be on, so here’s the deal. You bag a copy in advance, you help make it come to life. Made a strong start to this campaign, let’s keep the momentum up… thanking you all x link here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seasofmirth/kriller-the-brand-new-seas-of-mirth-album

It’s been a busy few months, despite only a few gigs since last festie season we have created an album that will leave the rest of your lives relatively anticlimatic after hearing it. We will be giving these groovealicious tunes a run-out over this touring period plus modern day and old day Mirth classics – so please, get yourselves to a show – support small venues, our affordable tickets and more info are on the gigs section!

That’s it then!!!

Well, that’s our summer done. It’s been a heckin grand adventure up and down from Newquay to the Solway Firth to the Isle Of Wight to the Lincolnshire Wolds. Throughout our travels we’ve shared bills with a wealth of bizarre treats – everything from Fela Kuti’s son to CBeebies legends to a drummer a dressed in nothing but opened tin cans.. oh and er, Craig David too.

We hope we’ve reached some new ears of folks that shall go forth in the name of Mirth. Overdue indeed, but Sub Marine Dreams has flourished in its first full festival season since release. Been testing out a few brand new’uns too to keep thee tickled.

Massive respect to our Jen, Mani, Laura, the Cirque du Bleurgh crew and all that have helped with the show giving off maximum aquatic sensory vibes on the road. You’re all golden!! Special shout out to Andy aka Ricky Bubbles for stepping in on live duties, plus all that have put us on on their stages, (it’s massively appreciated!) and you beautiful beasts that have come to see us and spreaded the word. We need to lock ourselves away now for a couple of months to get our 4th album well underway… til then!

We shall sea you soon 😍👌🐙💋

DEEP DEEP HEAT – made by Jordan Copeland at TEN ENT NET. Dive in…

By no measure of surprise whatsoever, our upcoming tour dates will not happen this spring, BUT we are in talks for rescheduling at least ninety percent of it, so keep your eyes to the ground and your ears peeled. Instead, WOULD YOU ADAM AND BELIEVE IT we’re dropping a new video for ‘Ink [Do The Blollop]’ which features our newest tentacular member. This was going to be promo for our tour but we feel like we’ve got to give something in its absence. Enjoy, click like/love and share the squid ink far and wide across the world!

Greetings t’y’all.

Get in! Thanks to a sterling contribution from our fans, we managed to scrounge enough coffers together to release our new underwater album before Christmas, on vinyl, CD and digital. Sub Marine Dreams came out on the 20th of December and we did our launch gig in Notts the day after. But this year is all about the flaunting of said record, live wise and press wise too. People seem to be loving the change in direction. One five-star review is here thanks to the amazing folks at Spiral Earth!

Shows are shaping up for spring onwards. Stay tuned. We have a cheeky show in Stoke this Friday though.  Do attend if you are in the area. But please, do check our album out, give it the time it deserves, it may not have the same face-value effect as previous outings, but it’s an adventure that we’d been planning for years and we’re chuffed to bits at its birth into the world. Also some of the proceeds on physical merchandise of the record go towards sea based charities. See our bandcamp page for more info.
