Mouse and the Traps is the name of an American garage rock band from Tyler, Texas, United States, that released numerous singles between 1965 and 1969, two of which, "A Public Execution" and "Sometimes You Just Can't Win", became large regional hits. The leader of the band, nicknamed "Mouse", was Ronny Weiss. Two of their best known songs, "A Public Execution" and a cover of "Psychotic Reaction", are not actually credited to this band but, respectively, to simply Mouse and Positively 13 O'Clock instead. Their tangled history also included one single that was released anonymously under the name Chris St. John. The band are not to be confused with the girl group who recorded for Toddlin' Town records around the same time.

  • Mouse and the Traps var en amerikansk garagerockgrupp från Tyler i Texas som bildades 1965. Gruppnamnet var från början endast Mouse, men från 1966 började man använda Mouse and the Traps. Gruppen frontades av sångaren och låtskrivaren Ronnie Weiss. Övriga medlemmar var Bugs Henderson (gitarr), Dave Stanley (bas), Jerry Howell (keyboard) och Ken Murray (trummor). När gruppen spelade in sin debutsingel "A Public Execution" var dock endast Weiss, Stanley och Henderson medverkande. Låten som både textmässigt och i sin ljudbild var tydligt inspirerad av Bob Dylan blev en regional hitsingel i Texas, men tog sig inte in på nationella Billboard Hot 100-listan. Den bubblade dock under och nådde #121 Gruppen släpptes sedan ett dussintal singlar på Fraternity Records, utan att någon nådde den uppmärksamhet som debuten gjort. "Sometimes You Just Can't Win" blev dock en mindre lokal hit i sydöstra USA. Deras sista singel släpptes 1969, men gruppen har återförenats 1972 och 1980. 1982 gavs samlingsalbumet ut och den innehöll nästan alla singlar gruppen släppte. Debutsingeln "A Public Execution" togs även med på det för garagerocken inflytelserika samlingsalbumet Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968 som gavs ut av Elektra 1972. Bugs Henderson kom att spela in ett flertal bluesskivor som soloartist. Han avled 2012. (sv)
