Los Angeles Loves... Harry Merry? (Sort of)


Harry Merry is a solo musician out of the Netherlands who performs bizarro Europop that is instantly horrifying yet altogether fascinating. There's no point of reference to compare music like this but if you ever played "Barney's Greatest Hits" backwards and took a lot of LSD as a kid you're in for a treat tonight at The Smell. After we saw him the first time he came through Los Angeles last summer, this image of an evil-grinned middle-aged man in a mushroom-cut wig and some sort of Dutch school-boy frock performing to an empty room haunted us for weeks. He has one of the most disturbing stage presences we've ever seen. Still, we stayed through his entire set -- nearly two glorious hours.

Harry Merry performs with PRS HLTN, MTHRFCKRS!! tonight at The Smell. Bring a good book to read and maybe a sedative.
