Mice

Before founding Mice, Julianne Regan (b. 1964, Coventry, Britain) had produced her name with 80s neo-gothic group ABOUT Eve, a reasonably successful clothing she shaped after furtive musical origins being a part-time person in Gene Loves Jezebel so when a article writer for ZigZag mag. IN THE END About Eve didn’t produce anything beyond cult position, she spent ‘two complete years for the dole, carrying out shit piecework (washing studios and transcribing general market trends questionnaires) and composing songs’. Ultimately she connected up with guitarist Bernard Butler, but their tries to record an record together finished in acrimony. By 1995 she got regrouped and pieced jointly a fresh group composed of her brother-in-law and co-songwriter Tim McTighe (bass) and Christian Hayes (electric guitar, ex-Levitation), alongside three former ABOUT Eve colleagues, Tag Cost (drums), Andy Cousin (bass) and Marty Willson-Piper (electric guitar). Nevertheless, she was enthusiastic to tension the differences between your neo-folk of most About Eve and her present, even more electric guitar pop-orientated ensemble. The group discovered immediate independent graph success making use of their initial three singles, ‘Mat’s Prozac’ (November 1995), ‘The Milkman’ (Apr 1996) and ‘Dear Sir’ (July 1996), before getting into sessions because of their debut record, … Because I COULD. Recorded more than a 12 month period and offering Gary Stout as engineer, it included a free of charge, limited edition Compact disc offering Radio 1 program versions from the group’s three singles and their live favorite, ‘Blue Sonic Boy’. Everlasting went bankrupt soon after the recording premiered, spelling the finish for the group. Cost later became a member of Del Amitri.
