Mercury Program Embarks on Fall Tour
It's been a while since Gainesville's the Mercury Program released their critically lauded EP All the Suits Began to Fall Off and kicked their precise jazz-flecked post-rock into the stratosphere. With no other goals besides taking their mix of angular guitars and ethereal vibraphones for a shuttle mission along the east coast, the four-piece has decided to tour for a month. The tour begins and ends at what one can assume is their homebase, Gainesville's very own Common Grounds. Gotta love those hometown crowds.
