History of Mice
Mice were formed in 1995 by (then) ex-All About Eve lead singer Julianne Regan and ex-Powder bassist Tim McTighe. The band also featured former Levitiation guitarist Christian Hayes (aka Bic), as well as (ex-All About Eve) drummer Mark Price (at that point in time, Regan's brother-in-law). As well as these permanent members, Mice also featured many collaborations, including other former members of All About Eve, Marty Willson-Piper and Andy Cousin.
Mice released their first single Mat's Prozac in November 1995, a second single The Milkman in early 1996, a third and final single Dear Sir in July, and this album in August of that year. The band also extensively toured the country during 1996. Unfortunately (the somewhat misnamed) Permanent Records went bankrupt in 1997 owing the band a lot of money, and the album (despite having made the Indie Top 10 in the UK) and its singles were left hanging in the shops without replacement or support. Mice disbanded shortly afterwards.

Famous quotes containing the words history of, history and/or mice:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“For something is amiss or out of place
When mice with wings can wear a human face.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
