3.30 LIVE: Mice on Stilts 

Mice on Stilts is a musical project of singer/writer Ben Morley.

Performing live for more than 10 years, the Auckland based artist and his talented band have always impressed audiences with lush sound-scapes , crushing walls of sound, and vulnerable, raw, lyrics. 

With the release of their new album 'I AM PROUD OF YOU' we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to invite Ben and his six piece band to play a live session.
