Accidental Mersh

Moving on away from Glitter Penis. Starting  'Accidental Mersh' was remarkably popular in the Memphis area around 2000, packing venues around the city touring on a regular basis. They had 2 albums "Mirror Isaeli" and "Accidental Mersh" (self-titled)

The band had two lead singers, Andrew VanWyngarden who went on to form MGMT, and Hank Sullivant who went on to form The Whigs. Sullivant also played second guitar for MGMT before James Richardson (who was playing drums at the time) switched to take Sullivant's place as the second guitarist.
