About three months into the lockdown, Merz, who performs as Timmy Flips and Timmy Stinger, decided that there were more constructive ways to spend his time, so he sobered up and started writing along with guitarist and fellow Red Stinger founding member Fredman. Merz hit a massive creative streak he says he’s also written an entire hip-hop album and two dance musicals over the past year and the future of the band seemed bright, even with the ongoing pandemic.
