With the release of Good Lekker's debut EP 'Samsara', the 6 piece are quickly showing their promise as one of the country’s most exciting up-and-coming acts.
In April 2017, a promise to jam over a case of beer lead to Good Lekker emerging from a uni storeroom for the first time. Over 12 months on and the band have become local favourites and developed an energetic live show that is loaded with catchy hooks, thick psych vibes and gritty vocals. With just a handful of released, the band have already clocked up a run of sold-out launches, and have supported the likes of Boo Seeka, Babe Rainbow, Verge Collection, Castlecomer and Gold Member. In their relatively short career thus far, the band have also appeared at festivals such as Sweaty Palms,
Yours & Owls Festival, FKA Festival, Party in the Paddock and Yours & Owls hosted Garden Party, and racked up spins on triple j with previous single ‘What I Used To Know.’
The sophisticated record is backed-up beautifully with her band's captivating live performance, piquing the interests of industry professionals and respected musicians.
After selling out Melbourne's The Gasometer's upstairs band room in August, the EP Launch was quickly moved to the main room to meet the overwhelming demand for a spot in the crowd. Described as refreshing and clever, the rollercoaster of emotion that is Merpire's music is proving to be addictive with showcases at Brisbane’s Big Sound and there's no sign of it slowing down.
