Battle of Mice

Battle of Mice was an American post-metal supergroup consisting of Julie Christmas, Josh Graham, Joel Hamilton, Tony Maimone, and Joe Tomino. The band's name was derived from a saying by Alexander the Great pertaining to a military invasion of Crete.

The band was formed when vocalist Julie Christmas and guitarist/keyboardist Josh Graham met in Austin, Texas while touring with their respective bands in 2005.

Graham and Christmas were in an on-again-off-again relationship during the recording of the band's debut album, A Day of Nights. Released under Neurot Recordings, the album contains seven tracks heavily influenced by the metal, post-rock and noise rock roots from which the group was derived. The song "At the Base of the Giant's Throat" features a recorded 911 call between vocal sections. On September 3, 2009, a blog was posted on the band's MySpace page stating that the band was parting ways.
