  • Bio

    The Mice were a young band active in Cleveland, Ohio during the mid 1980s. The group brought together a range of influences infrequently heard at the time, and their moniker itself distanced them from the sometimes testosterone-heavy punk scene. But whether the energy comes from early punk or Brit Invasion anthems, there's plenty of it in many of these songs, aided and abetted by a very young Moon-esque drummer in Tommy Fox. In this environment, Bill Fox presented songs of passion and subtlety with mad genius pop hooks. Scooter even saw release in the UK in an altered version, but by the end of 1987 the members were heading in too many different directions musically and with work on a second album half completed and international tours on the horizon, the Mice split up. The records lived on of course, and were particularly influential throughout Ohio, and I even recall hearing Superchunk cover "Bye Bye Kitty Cat." Leader Bill Fox subsequently turned to folk music and coffee houses, and later began experimenting with home recordings, resulting in a fine pair of cds released on Spinart in the 90s (Shelter from the Smoke & Transit Byzantium) . Bill stopped writing and performing music a few years ago, but has plans to start back up again relatively soon. -from the scat records web site **This is a fan created site!!
