Formed in late 2007 as a "joke" for an Icelandic prime-time television show, based around what song Iceland would eventually send as their contender for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade. Gaining much notoriety for their song 'Ho Ho Ho We Say Hey Hey Hey', this cheerful gimmick decided under the careful guidence of Barði Jóhannsson of Bang Gang fame to release a full length album the following spring. Subsequently the album 'I Want to Touch You' was released to somewhat positive reviews in May 2008. Their influences range from basic 90's europop concepts to more modern sounding progressive trance. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Merzedes+Club">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
