Country Mice - Twister

Country Mice released their first full length album just a few short weeks ago and the reception has been very positive. While sitting under the stars during a warm summer night there are smells of bbq, pipe smoke and beer in the air, this album blends with these things perfectly.

It's an album that any true music fan is sure to enjoy whether you're in the thick of it in Brooklyn or in the middle of a wheat field in Western Kansas. This is something that's not easy for any album or band to accomplish, but for Jason, Ben, Kurt and Mike it appears effortless. Country Mice and Jason puts so much heart into these songs that it bleeds through the speakers. Buy the album, see them on tour this summer. You will walk away smiling.

We Are Country Mice

We Are Country Mice released a great new song, and it blows the mind.

Look for the Cassette Tape titled: "Transmissions" Coming soon.

I love everything about this new track, the music itself and the lyrics. Its perfect for the peak of summer and it continues to build upon the two (2) very solid EP's previously released by We Are Country Mice.

Every time I listen I cant help but hear and make references to Neil Young, which is not an easy comparison by any sort. Can not wait for the full length album and the tour by WACM.

We Are Country Mice

We are Country Mice formed in Brooklyn just a very short time ago, but hearing WACM perform live you would think they've been playing and writing together for years.  Last night I had the pleasure of seeing WACM in Kansas City (Davey's Uptown) which was their 2nd stop of their midwest tour.  Not that any band should be described, but  here I go...I would say they're classic rock & roll meets a rodeo.  Or Imagine Neil Young bumping into Wayne Coyne at a bbq joint, followed by a hug, a slab of ribs, ice cold margaritas under the stars on a park bench out back.   However, just typing a bbq situation or Rock & Roll meets a Rodeo isn't fair, because they're much more than those things.  They have something all of their own which needs to be seen and heard individually to grasp.  

I should also say, I not only had pleasure of getting to watch a great band, but I was also lucky enough to hang out with who I consider two very good friends and experience them doing something they love and do very well.  

I will continue to post about WACM as they continue to play and create.   

We are Country Mice have 7" titled "Make Your Own Damn Fun" available through Insound, but copies are limited.  Purchase HERE
