928 Mouse and the Traps “A Public Execution” and “Maid of Sugar, Maid of Spice” 1966

“Tyler’s Mouse and the Traps…were actually to what would become the punk ethic. They were formed in 1964 by Ronnie ‘Mouse’ Weiss (vocals/guitar), Bugs Henderson (lead guitar), Dave Stanley (bass), Jerry Howell (organ), and Ken ‘Big Nardo’ Muray (drums). Produced by Robin Hood Bryans, they had two hits with ‘A Public Execution’ and ‘Maid of Sugar, made of Spice,’ and , all told, released thirteen 45s and an album for RCA. Though the band was legendary in Texas, struggles to gain attention elsewhere were less than successful, and they broke up in 1969. They still convene every decade for much-anticipated reunions” (Rick Koster, Texas Music, 1998).
