White Mice

The White Mice are an experimental, industrial, noise rock, and noisegrind band from Providence, Rhode Island. They consist of vocals, drums, bass, and electronics, but in live performances often have a rotation of guest members playing guitars, electronica, and custom, unidentifiable circuit-bent instruments.

They are known to use any level of humor, portmanteau terms and re-imagined puns throughout much of their work. (for example, they refer to their myspace as their "micespace"). The strong sense of irreverence, humor and creativity in all their work brought them a cult following as the band continues to play and tour often. On stage they adorn bloody lab outfits and custom circuit-bent mouse masks, and create a harsh, furious sound, a mix of bass and drum heavy rhythms, thick with distortion and wound full of howling live electronic manipulation and blistering vocals.

They have toured with Lightning Bolt, USA Is a Monster, Coughs...
