Mice Parade plays Fuji Rock Festival, releases DVD & Greatest Hits comp, tells us a month later

05/09/08

Mice Parade have kindly informed us that they performed one of their best shows to 6,000 people this past July at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival. Further, they've also had two releases this year which were exclusive to Japan: the 'Thank You For The Show' DVD - which documents the band's 2006 performance in Tokyo (their last show with Kristin Anna Valtysdottir as a member) and includes 3 videos, and the Decade 1 Collection - a greatest hits comp marking the band's 10th anniversary, whose tracklist was chosen by fan votes.

While they are spending the rest of this year writing and recording, we look forward to a new album in fall of 2009 and extensive touring next year.
