Hey Mercedes
Hey Mercedes was a band from Milwaukee, WI/Chicago, IL, USA, that formed in 1999/2000 after the dissolution of Braid. The band consisted of Bob Nanna on guitar and vocals, Todd Bell on bass and vocals, Mark Dawursk on guitar and vocals and Damon Atkinson on drums. Hey Mercedes proved a more melodic antidote to the previous band.
Hey Mercedes had their first practice session in April 2000. Their first release was a self titled EP on Polyvinyl Records in September 2000. Soon after its release, they signed to Vagrant Records and started touring for support of their upcoming Vagrant full length. In 2001 alone, they performed 114 shows. In October 2001, the band released Everynight Fire Works.
After writing the majority of the band's EP and first full length at the end of 2001, Dawursk left the band and was replaced with Mike Shumaker. The band released Loses Control in October 2003.
With 2 full lengths, 3 EPs and 358 shows under their belt, Hey Mercedes called it quits. Their final show (#359) was at the Metro in Chicago on April 23 of 2005.

St. James Street
by: Hey Mercedessunday to st james st
ride blue on the line
staring at the blue skyline
someday i'll find my way to
make those shining lights mine.
are you ready to leave today? oh we are
are you ready to give it all away? oh we are
are you ready to sink your soul? oh we are
are you ready to go it alone?
alone
i could sink right into this sleep
my body has beat me to.
sunday to st james st
hold on kid, there's an ambulance on the way
oh great
someday i'll find my way to
follow up on fate with timing and grace
and a well thought out face.
are you ready to leave today? oh we are
are you ready to throw it all away? oh we are
are you ready to take them down? oh we are
are you ready to make it count?
to twenty four
twenty four and you're not a kid anymore
are you kidding?
are you ready to go it alone
alone, i could sink right into this sleep
my body has beat me to the teeth
alone, here we go gold
oh my soul feels so old.
one solace as i thought about it
they could read and get a good laugh out of it
on their way to the same damn parade
in the honor of a brand new saint.
