Mice Parade

Mice Parade was originally the solo project of New Yorker Adam Pierce, who has also drummed in Swirlies, The Dylan Group, HiM and múm, and runs the Bubble Core label and distribution company.

From its outset, Mice Parade has shown a boldly inventive and highly individual take on post-rock / electronica. Following 1998's Bubble Core album, 'The True Meaning Of BoddleyBaye', their first FatCat album, 'Ramda' ('99), forged a distinctive, immersive audio space of piled-up percussion and atmospheric, hook-laden melodics.

2001 saw the release of a third album, 'Mokoondi', which marked a shift in the Mice Parade sound, including the increased influence of Eastern harmonics and African beats, and the formation of a proper band of musicians. What started out as a studio project has since developed into a full touring band, based around the cheng (Chinese harp) and a two-drumkit rhythm section, with HiM's Doug Scharin on the other kit. Also in accompaniment are vibes, violin, classical guitar, rhodes piano and old synths, forging Mice Parade into a seriously talented and energetic live unit.
