Mercy Kill is the Wildcard Winner of the June 7, 2008, Out of the Garage event at Liquid Lounge in Dallas, TX! Their prize is a featured article right here on Supernova.com. Enjoy!




Gino and Naomi Pinalto represented half of the band "III'rd Testament" and recorded "IN MY MINDS EYE" in 2002. The band enjoyed much success in the Dallas area playing at various bars and venues in Deep Ellum and North Texas. The band broke up in late 2005.

Around October 2007 Trey was looking to start playing electric guitar after a few years of acoustic playing for friends and family. He knew of Gino and his guitar knowledge having been introduced a year earlier. So he went and just knocked on the door!  We played together for 2 days and Gino was invited to play at an anniversary and asked if Trey would play rhythem at the gig along with a drum machine.  He agreed and the next day David came over and we asked if he would be interested in playing bass.  We played our first gig less than 30 days later with the drum machine.  Soon after that Naomi set up the drums and this is what the set up looked like.



We Kept playing and started writing our own music and aquiring more gear then played a club in February called hard tails…here are pics from that show.






We played in April at another anniversary and then in May we played at a battle of the bands @ Curtain Club in Deep Ellum taking 2nd place…the voting was based on volume of crowd…we lost by 2dB and the winning group had 150+ people with them…we brought 5 fans with us!  Here are pictures from the Curtain Club show.





We came to the Supernova battle @ liquid lounge as a filler band because it was the city finals we were not in the competition…but we have some very dedicated fans and won the Wildcard Vote… we play high energy alternative/metal and are collaborating with CP THA GREAT out of dallas...we hope yall will visit us here.
