Mercury & the Architects Live at Corbin Bowl!

Mercury & the Architects is a music and artistic movement with a simple mandate: tell the truth. Founded in 2014 by TJ (Mercury), an all-star athlete with musical talent no one expected, and his sister, Chelsea Rae, a visual artist and musician. Driven to win in any arena, shackled by nothing but truth, the band released their debut EP Poets & the Beast to streaming success and sold-out shows in New Yorks The Bitter End and Webster Hall.

Influenced by the many cultures that touched them growing up in NYC, M&As songs similarly flow through genres in a unique and authentic way that makes them both new and risky, yet timeless with a heart of rock and roll.

Soon after Poets & the Beast, the band went into Engine Room Studios with Grammy-winning engineer, Mark B. Christenson, to record their first full-length album, The Ghost that Haunts My Castle, a modern rock opera. The album included collaborations with world-famous musicians Shawn Pelton and Ben Butler. When the unexpected forced the band to momentarily shelve the album, M&A continued to play shows on the East Coast, building their audience, and released more singles reflecting on the period (Genesis, Machine, Disinformation, The Wolf).

From 2019 to 2020, Mercury & The Architects lived their musics message by forging their own brave path from NYC to LA, where they formed MercuryRae Productions. There, Mercury met vocalist and songwriter LYNZI, fleshing out the nexus of their movement. The inspired duo then wrote and produced a string of singles for the project including Cheers to the View, Pull the Plug, Autopilot, and "Punching Bag. Each single is accompanied by visual artwork designed by Chelsea Rae along with music videos produced by the trio and styled by Rae.

Mercury & the Architects is defined by their unfailing renaissance in the face of every challenge, always coming back with a stronger, grander vision in support of self-love, and the pursuit of absolute truth.
