They proved why they were one of the North East's most beloved bands and it was so lovely to see them get the goodbye they deserved! They put on one hell of a show too! We'll miss them absolutely loads but hope they have the best time ever in Montreal ?? we best get started on booking up that Canadian tour!! BIG LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS TO YOU BOTH ❤️?The Noise and the Naive ?❤️

We had a total blast at the weekend headlining two amazing all day festivals. Thank you Newcastle and Darlington for being so unbelievably kind to us. It was lovely to see so many people join us in turning anger and sadness into hope and solidarity. We desperately need it. We can't let hate win this ❤️ 

HUGE LOVE TO EVERYONE STRUGGLING. 

This Saturday we play our final show of 2019, at a brilliant event organised by our wonderful friends Ceiling Demons. They've always done such beautiful things to try and destigmatize mental health struggles and we love them so much for that! Alleviation is such a great idea and it's a total honour to be part of this in their hometown of Richmond. Alleviation: Winter Solstice Healing & Celebration; a day of music therapy, workshops and free drop-in counselling sessions followed by live music from themselves, us, and the brilliant HOLY Braille and Mayshe-Mayshe. 

It's totally FREE and will be the perfect way to see out the year for us. It'll also be our very first Richmond gig ever which we're very excited about ?

Sunday we're delighted to be back in Darlo for Llovers Presents Vs. Soapbox Sessions. We'll be joining the ace Petals., The Circus Villains, Sonder Minds, Whale Hill and loads more for a big Christmas Party! We'll be headlining the brilliant Avalon Bar and Terrace. Only £4!?!

REGISTER TO VOTE ? 

Thank you Onsind for our favourite poster and thank you Specialist Subject Records for reprinting these at the perfect time ❤ 

Tomorrow is the absolute last day you can register to vote for the upcoming election. If you haven't, DO! It's super important. We need change. If you care about people at all. If you care about minorites, if you care about the underprivileged. Please consider voting Labour. Read the manifesto. Vote for more than just yourself. There are people out there who desperately need your vote. Fuck the Tory bullshit propaganda. Fuck the dirty tactics. 

REGISTER HERE: www.gov.uk/registertovote 

...and before people say keep politics out of music, music and politics have gone hand in hand since the beginning of fucking time. Read the lyrics of your favourite bands and artists, put things in context and realise that that's never been a thing. 

Come see us soon and let's celebrate the death of the Tories yeah?

Love and solidarity to all our transgender friends today. The absolute minimum you deserve as a human is to be respected and accepted for what you are and were born to be, and it makes us sick that we live in a society where this still isn't the case for so many. Stop questioning the existence of trans people. It's not up for debate. You don't have to understand, you just have to listen. Recognise that there are privileges in this world. If you were born cis, you've never had to understand. Every one of us is different and that's ace. Be the best fucking ally you can be ??? 

However you express yourself, whatever you identify as, stand up for the ones who need it. Don't let hate win because its shit.

A very unhappy 50th birthday to the piece of shit that is The Sun"newspaper". Anyone that's seen us and wondered why our drums say "Fuck The Sun", yes we mean "that Sun", although we did duct tape it on on a very hot day in a field in Richmond so I suppose its kind of a double entendre. If we made a list of every shitty thing they've done, this post would be endless, and we're sure most of you already know. Quite frankly, they're utter scumbags and if you buy it, stop. It's really easy to just stop. 

#dontbuythesun 

We made it into badges too and we've just made them free on our website for a bit (+postage!). Grab one from here: https://mousestheband.com/product/265937 and spread the message far and wide!

ps. we had an absolute blast on Friday supporting the fabulous MANNEQUIN PUSSY with our new favs Fast Blood. Everyone was just amazing and such lovely people too. Thanks everyone for coming and thank you The Kids Are Solid Gold for doing such great things all the time!!

Hey everyone! We've been proper rubbish at keeping you all up to date recently. Sometimes you just wake up so disillusioned with everything, trying to motivate yourself to do the most simple of tasks can be almost impossible. Sometimes you just wake up sad and unmotivated and there's no real reason why. Sometimes you wake up raring to go, read a few Facebook comments on a few shitty articles and just think what's the point? I really struggle with social media. It's unhealthy for me and I know it is but right now I don't know how to fix it... and sometimes I need that anger in me to drive me to do the things I'm so passionate about. 

There's a little over a week left to register to vote now. Please don't waste this opportunity and do everything within your power to get the fucking Tories out. We're (slowly but surely) getting ready to unleash some new stuff to the world next year and it'd be really fucking nice to be releasing a new album with a government that isn't completely full to the brim with selfish entitled pricks. Fuck the Bullingdon Club. Fuck Boris Johnson. And fuck the Conservative Party for everything they stand for. 

BIG LOVE AND SOLIDARITY TO EVERYONE MARCHING, PROTESTING AND STANDING UP AGAINST SHITTY PEOPLE IN POWERFUL POSITIONS. 

Tomorrow we play our final Teesside show of the year supporting the brilliant MANNEQUIN PUSSY with the equally brilliant Fast Blood at Westgarth Social Club. It's going to be a special night and it'd be lovely to see some friendly faces ❤️
