They should have been big: part one of a new occasional series!
Yes, I'm back back back! I'm going to do a series highlighting bands I love who deserve to be huge but sadly never made it. Today: Mice.
Mice was the name of Julianne Regan's follow-up band 3 years after All About Eve disbanded. I bought their debut single, Mat's Prozac, in HMV as a complete impulse buy having never even heard of the band or Julianne before. Thankfully it proved to be my introduction to the world of Julianne Regan and her gorgeous voice, and helped to kick-start my obsession with female-fronted rock bands.
Sadly, Mice only lasted for one album, "Because I Can". Their record label went bust owing them tonnes of money which didn't help. Luckily, a few years later the album was re-released by another company as "New and Improved", containing bonus tracks from b-sides and other unreleased stuff. It's a fantastic album, 19 tracks and not a duff tune amongst them. Highly recommended.
Anyway, the video I have for you here is not Mat's Prozac, as sadly that doesn't seem to exist on YouTube. It is instead the follow-up single, The Milkman, which while being perhaps slightly lighter than the rest of their material is nonetheless a cracking tune. Here it is, please enjoy:
