THE UPTONES HAVE DIRECT TIES TO RODENTS!
TIM CARTER ROCKS MIECES TO PIECES
The Uptones once received a package in the mail from a band called The Field Mice, who wanted to open for The Uptones. It contained a one dollar bill clearly marked with the word “bribe,” plus a homemade cassette demo tape. The hand-drawn cover showed their high school buckling and cracking under the weight of a giant mouse. We called them straight away and gave them the gig.
Years later, when we were getting ready to start the next chapter of The Uptones, we needed a drummer. Charles “Dubmaster” Stella told us about Tim Carter. As it turns out, Tim was one of the aforementioned Mice. He showed up one night at rehearsal and totally rocked. He’s been our drummer ever since.
While the The Uptones are on summer break, The Field Mice are reuniting for a couple of shows, August 15 & 16. You can get all the details at their MiceSpace!
