MERCURY MAD'S BIO:

Known mainly for his time fronting the Glam Rock band Vibralux for the past five years, underground phenomina, Mercury Mad has incorporated all that he's learned since his training in Theater to his nights of Rock 'n' Roll club debauchery in one full-bodied experience.

Neither the theatrics or musicality of Mad's shows should come as any surprise

to those who know his history. The young singer/guitarist who played the Plant in "Little Shop of Horrors" in high school went on to study graphic design and Music Comp at KSU while playing guitar for productions such as "Hair" and "Bye Bye Birdie". Mad spent his off time teaching guitar for KSU's continuing education program and moonlighting in tenor roles such as Jack in Sondheim's "Into the Woods" and Henrik in "A Little Night Music."

His love of performance and the stage would cause him to transfer to The University of Kansas and choose his final major in Theatre & Film. Theatre would be the melting pot for Mad and his juggling various art forms. It was here he caught his musical tour bug playing guitar for KU production of "School House Rock Live".

Mercury Mad continued to develop his artistic repertoire when he became the make-up artist for a University production of Vaclav Havel's "Temptation," a job that required precision and creativity in the delicate art that would come to mean so much to his on-stage persona. When Mad created Vibralux in 2001, he combined all the things he had learned: the acting, the singing, the make-up and not to mention the various bands he had been in since his teens. He made himself into the sarcastic Messianic figure audiences came to know and love using all his talents.

In 2003 Vibralux was featured on the cover of Rock Kansas.Com and stole KC Pitch Weekly's award for Best Drag Show. In 2004 the group was nominated for The Pitch Best live Performance. In the spring of 2006 Merc accepted the NYC Fresh Fruits award for best live performance on behalf of Vibralux. While working with Vibralux he opened for acts such as HIM, London After Midnight, Black Pool Lights, Straylight run, Venus De Mars, The Genitorturers, Attrition, and Shiny Toy Guns.

Mercury Mad persevered and continued as a solo artist, composer, and DJ as an outlet for his prolific writing and desire to entertain. Through most of 2007 and 2008 Mad spent his time as Host and DJ for several underground warehouse club events as well as DJ/Host for KC west bottoms Club Kids dance night "CLUB PLUSH" held at KC West Bottoms venue KORRUPTION.
