Thirsty Merc is an Australian rock band. The band recorded its First Work EP in 2003. The EP featured "Wasting Time" - the first single which attracted radio airplay in Australia (The EP now being out of print and is very rare) - and second single "Emancipate Myself" which has made the ARIA Top 50. Lindsay Gravina, who has produced albums for The Living End and Magic Dirt produced the band's first full length self-titled album. Soon after the release of the album, guitarist Matt Baker left the band and was replaced by Sean Carey of the band, Midnight Swim. In August 2005 the album was re-released with two extra tracks, "When The Weather Is Fine" which was also released as a single, and an alternate version of "Someday, Someday" and "Joelene".

Thirsty Merc released their single "20 Good Reasons" on March 17, 2007. The "20 Good Reasons" tour, currently touring around Australia, has had sold out shows in Melbourne and Sydney. The tour began on March 1 in Adelaide in will finish up in Molong on March 31. The single "20 Good Reasons" debuted at number ten on March 26, the band's first top ten single.

The band's second album Slideshows will be released on the 21st April, 2007. The Merc is promoting the new album on a mini tour the "20 Good Reasons Tour" and will have a fully fledged major national tour later in the year in promotion for their second release album, Slideshows.
