Maus Haus

San Francisco's Maus Haus is a concoction of Kraftwerk, the Beach Boys, and Sonic Youth steeped in a solution of glitchy noise,  dirty drums,  and buzzy synthesizers. Through this heady mix,  the band is still eminently approachable,  with catchy vocals, and moving rhythms.  The resulting sound is patently unique, yet strangely familiar.

Since the release of 2009’s sprawling Lark Marvels,  the band has progressed from a stage-filling 7-person ensemble to a powerful 4-piece with each member attending to multiple instruments, recalling the frenetic live performances of Battles.  The upcoming seven-track Light Noise EP is slated for digital release October 2, and physical release October 23 by new imprint Lavish Habits.

Maus Haus has supported Crystal Castles, Dengue Fever, Autolux, Black Moth Super Rainbow, !!!, Javelin, School of Seven Bells, on both coasts and between. The band was awarded "Best New Synth Rockers" from SF Weekly, and "Band of the Year" from the Deli Magazine.  In 2010, the band shared San Francisco’s Treasure Island Music Festival main stage with artists such as LCD Soundsystem, Die Antwoord, and Holy Fuck.

Praise For Maus Haus
"You wouldn't be off base to consider San Francisco's Maus Haus one of the brightest hopes in the city's avant/indie realm. Picture Brian Wilson meeting Marcel Duchamp and departing together, arm in arm, to plan pocket symphonies…I'm betting these fellows won't remain a mousy secret for long." -- Bay Area Guardian
