Brer Mouse

About Me

Formed in Adelaide, now based in Melbourne these five boys bring emotional honesty and a hopeful unpretentiousness to their art rock, creating strong, beautiful arrangements around fragile, introspective songs.

Beginning in Adelaide in 2002 with the release of the darkly diffracted mini-album Beatlemania a home-produced experiment by songwriters and siblings Jon and Alex and the metamorphosis of a previous band into something new, Brer Mouse have developed and refined a brilliant, resilient sonic aesthetic and an impressive on-stage presence.
