we played 3 songs that night we never got round to recording. actually we did record one of the songs when we started the northern picture library, though it never got released. this song was provisionally called " quiet and loud " errr because it has quiet bits and loud bits. shoegazers.....lol. i dont think i owned a pair of shoes the whole time i was in the band.
Crazy - but the only thing stopping me from putting the whole show up is that I no longer have a working VHS player! I will get one. "The End" was a sad moment! I also have quite a few nice field mice photos, when i get a minute i will set up some sort of gallery.
there are a couple of songs missing. the other new one is one of them. and pretty sure the gig ended with " end of the affair" after which michael walked to the microphone and said "the end" which was pretty appropriate. and that was the last time the five of us were ever in the same building at the same time again.
Wow - loving all the feedback. I have the worst memory in the world yet I can remember that gig perfectly - 20 years ago and here it is still getting the attention it deserves. The quiet & loud song (I always called it the fast & slow song!) was also my fav. I am thrilled that I videoed it and that people can get to see and hear it now. As we speak I am firing up my old computer to check for any missing bits. Does anyone know the new upload limit for UA-cam? Maybe I could upload the whole gig.
What a gem! I'm almost 50, started going to gigs around 1991 and there's a lot of blurry (or almost completely gone) memories about those old underground concerts, I would love to see some videos of those gigs but they don't exist! Big cheers from Brazil! ❤
Thank you for uploading. Only now discovering The Field Mice in May 2020, during the 'lockdown' in England during global coronavirus pandemic. Great track. My (frazzled) brain drifts off to Cocteau Twins, Breeders. It was probably luck they didn't find stardom back in the day as stardom seems to make everybody act shitty and feel shit. I was in Bison Tribe and we were not famous either but I'm glad we tried when we did. What a lark! Talking of Larks, does anybody remember a London band in early 80s called The Larks? I always loved "She said she's an all or nothing girl". Suzi-Q x
Probably over a decade ago now, The Drums posted a video where they were playing a college campus and to fill the whole time slot they danced around to "Let's Kiss and Make Up" at the end of their show. It was hilarious. Thank you Jonny Pierce for showing me this great band.
i've listened to it so much at this point i don't even know if a studio version could have done justice to that song. seeing it recorded that way feels like a time capsule like we are part of something almost confidential
Hiya Tim, If that made you well up then I better not upload the last song. The video ends with you head bowed at front of stage - the pain!!! What great times we had back in '90/91!
Si solo ella supiera que no solo me gusta si no que también la quiero mucho :( y después de 8 meses de platicar con ella, conocerla, desearía estar donde vive, creo que haría una gran diferencia si yo viviera allá, las personas pueden vivir de ilusiones pero no por mucho, me decía a mi misma que no me ilusionara pero me está pasando, pero al mismo tiempo, la distancia. Es como una gran amiga, con la que te puedes llevar muy bien,la veré en persona, ver su reír,su sonrisa,sus ojos, ella, Laura :(
@SeasonRecords The upload limit depends...it starts off as 10 minute videos. I've had a lot of views on some of my videos so they increased it to 15 minutes. I think it goes up to 30 for normal viewers.
man alive ! the body language of this band is terrible.if you look closely, the guitarist has a suicide note he prepared in advance in his back pocket. its like they have been forced at gunpoint to play. mmmmmarvellous !
It's called egoless and that's why they're great. Ego kills creativity and makes fools out of people. So nice to see a and not posing and showing off. Live music is just that. Music. Who cares what the band looks like? I once saw an entire Phil show where they played behind a sheet. Brilliant.
@MrChipfireball They're shoegazers. It's what they do. Did you actually listen to the music? It's depressed twangy ass indie rock. What are they supposed to do, the pogo?

MrChipfireball any recording of emmas house live?
Thank you for such lovely music!

MrChipfireball legends. thank you
I have gone on a whole musical journey over years and the whole time your band has been the most legendary to me oh my ☠️
THE greatest ever unheard-of band ever, yes!
For the love of god, please never remove this video
FIELD MICE and FELT the best jangly indie post punk bands ever...
Crazy - but the only thing stopping me from putting the whole show up is that I no longer have a working VHS player! I will get one. "The End" was a sad moment!
I also have quite a few nice field mice photos, when i get a minute i will set up some sort of gallery.
Please do put the full thing up!
did u ever by the vhs player?
Did you ever get one ??
Hi? What about your VHS player?
there are a couple of songs missing. the other new one is one of them. and pretty sure the gig ended with " end of the affair" after which michael walked to the microphone and said "the end" which was pretty appropriate.
and that was the last time the five of us were ever in the same building at the same time again.
MrChipfireball Love the music this band left behind. Thanks.
An appropriate finale.
you guys were magical together
I love you

WOW! Wish I had a time machine, purely so I could see the field mice live.
booby de keyzer brought me here
😂😂😂
Same
thank u for uploading this! i was born too late to see most of my favourite bands live so footage like this is always much appreciated
I remember seeing the Field Mice play the Camden Falcon, a very long time ago, just Bobby and Michael with a drum machine. Happy days.
(I'm pretty sure I was at the gig in the video too)
wish this never ended
I just can say it was nice melancholy music ; the 90s.
so amazing, I wish there was a studio version
i've listened to it so much at this point i don't even know if a studio version could have done justice to that song. seeing it recorded that way feels like a time capsule like we are part of something almost confidential
The Field Mice - Quiet & Loud @ Tufnell Park Dome, London, UK, 21.11.1991
Not sure why, but this gives me a feeling of unexperienced nostalgia.
Same bro I wasn’t even alive when this was recorded lol
PLEASE POST THE WHOLE SHOW! I would be thankful to you for the rest of my life! PLEASE :'(
This is so fantastic!
Incredible footage!
Hiya Tim, If that made you well up then I better not upload the last song. The video ends with you head bowed at front of stage - the pain!!!
What great times we had back in '90/91!
Thanks for uploading :)

Quiet and Loud :)
November 21st 1991 was my 13th anniversary.
It was my 12th. ( ^__^) Love this song.
The most beautiful girl in the world.

Why break up? There's no need to break up!
It's good to break up while you're still good. Or else the devil gets ya. Oh yeah, it's true.
This song is fantastic, but I can't find it on any of their recordings. Do you know where I could find it? Did they only ever perform this live?
song name please
can someone write the lyrics please aaaaa
