yes folks, what a year of shows!

Thanks to all that came to see us, we didn’t play as many shows this year but they were ALL TOTAL BANGERS! From supporting Henge in Worcester to the Palais at Solfest to headlining a packed Angel in Notts for Hockley Hustle (pictured)

We are cooking up some new tunes and new shows so expect some hot announcements coming in through December but for now let’s put our feet up and enjoy some festive stuff on the telleh. Stay warm and well Mirthlings! X

2025 – New shows, big local show!

Happy 2025! Thought it’s about time we updated on our site. We are having some much needed downtime but 2024 was bang tidy, we played 35 shows up down and across the UK taking the sounds of Kriller to bend more minds nationwide. Mad skills if you made it to one. One highlight of 2024 was supporting HENGE in Cornwall, and we’re doing it again, in Worcester, for our first show of the year. We’ve also booked our biggest headline show in Notts with some very special guests. Poster attached! If you’re not based either end of the Midlands though DON’T YOU FRET – we’ve announced a few more before festivals commence. All on the gigs page. Still after a few festies thsi year so shout our name about when the chance comes about. Megafanx!

We really hope you are enjoying the new album. We’ve put everything into it. See gigs page for tour dates! Much lub xx

Oh what a month it’s been. We had some time off gigging in late April and early May to canoe in the Scottish Highlands, explore Mongolian deserts, and chill our respective beans of course. That said, we were in full clench as the crowdfunder was in full swing. We did it though! With a cushty 10% over. Not too shabby, thanks all! You are getting SO rewarded as the album is a thing of wonder if we do say so ourselves. It is mastered, sent to pressers and will be with you in September. Watch out for a single, and some cheeky videos in the meantime. As we write this we are in full festival flex, currently on a weekend off after 6 performances under our belts this summer so far, 2 of those being at Glastonbury which was of course magical, exhausting and life affirming in every sense of the word. Upcoming are Nozstock, Lindisfarne and a massive one that cannot yet be named. Hmmm…

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 😍👌🐙💋
