Panic Merchant

Panic Merchant are a foursome out of Brisbane who frequently skip across Funk, Rock, Ska, Pop, Disco, Roots and Hip Hop whilst not forgetting their classical, jazz and pop roots. They're also not shy about switching between trumpet, saxes, flute, keyboards, guitar and cowbells mid-song.
They're sometimes fronted by patrons, who can't place that last 'cover tune' only to discover it was an original. The ultimate compliment is being mistaken for Steely Dan.

With lyrical themes set around broken hearts, superheroes, underwear, labradors and social change, their material spans a broad swathe of emotions. From the absurd that evokes a chuckle to the serious which pulls at your raw anger or plucks your sorrowful strings.
Panic Merchant are busy in the kitchen right now, cooking up some tasty musical biscuits for the new year. They're working towards more releases and appearances this year... hopefully in a venue near you!
