Alright, few are likely to agree, but I've been obsessed with this relatively obscure 90's band for decades now, and only now discovered all of their music – that I know of, at least.
Emerging in 1997 as a The Hague-based Dutch Britpop outfit psychedelically swirling with Beatlesque influences married with grungy rock sounds, Maurice "Mouse" Bom, Bert Fonderie, Roy Bouman and Eric Schurman launched themselves to some attention with their debut album "Universal Playground". That same year, they performed as the opening act to Dutch hitmakers Van Dik Hout, played several shows including Noorderslag festival, and appeared on the celebrated Dutch music programme 2 Meter-sessies.
After this, they kind of seemed to vanish as the band seems to have folded, with "Mouse" releasing the incredible follow-up album "Vital Signs" under the Tuesday Child monniker in 2003, which seems to have been mostly a solo effort.
Since then, very little information seems to be available, with "Mouse" largely disappearing from view, with only some online mentions as a much-wanted though strangely elusive record producer and some-time college music professor, who sometimes gigs with fellow musicians in the The Hague area.
If anybody knows what happened to this incredible band, and its members, or if anybody knows where to find the elusive "Mouse", I would love to know. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
