Mhee Noi (Thai: หมีน้อย) are a Thai indie punk rock band from Bangkok, formed in 2004. They have released five singles on myspace and play live.

Early career

Before becoming one of the members of Mhee Noi, Ling decided to promote the songs he wrote and do something completely new and different.

In 2004, he formed a band called Dek-Lek project with other 4 members: Noob, Vivorn, Atom, Yingyod to participate in a music contest at their school. However the result was unsuccessful because such rude words in their songs were unacceptable.

In 2005, Noob and Ling decided to change their style of music to Rock with two new members, Vee and Joe. They then decided to change the name of the band to Anti-All and participated in their school's Music contest again while Atom left to formed the new band with Petch, his friend called Geub Jazz.

In 2006, Noob went to United States for study aboard. Due to his departure, the band split.

Ling continued to accumulate musical knowledge and experience from his previous band, spending time improving his musical skills and his song-writing ability.

That same year, Geub Jazz surprisingly by awarded first prize in their music school contest while Petch was treated in sanatorium for mental illness.

Reunion, Formed Mhee Noi

In 2007, Noob returned to Thailand. He came up with the idea to write songs critiquing the Culture of Thailand and Thai society so he formed a new band consisting of Ling, Atom, Petch and himself. They wrote 'severe' songs full of sarcasm and irony reflecting the reality of Thai society. This band, therefore, is called Mhee Noi.^[1]

Controversies on songs and public

In April 2007, Mhee Noi first released their songs in myspace.com.^[2] The first song released was the song named "Diet Coke" the song is about the corruption in Thai Police Society, and then followed by a popular song named "Wat Pantip" which has been greatly criticized controversy because of its inappropriate meaning about the Bhikkhu in bad behaviour.

"Vegetarian" is the song about the terrorism on Southeast Asia may refer to Islamic terrorism.

The next single, "Land of Shit" presented about vandalism, Poverty, Political corruption, The Riots from the P.A.D. and the NUFDA all happened in Thailand.

all of those songs are so critical that Mhee Noi has undoubtedly been blamed for their unacceptable song and disgrace to mainstream.

Present

Without concerning with any critical comment on their songs, Mhee Noi has still been making mainstream friendly songs as well as severity like always in order to satisfy themselves and the listeners such songs as "Nerd", "Mirror".

In November, In Fat Festival 7, Mhee Noi combined Wat Pantip into album named Mind The Gap, containing various songs from different independent artists and this album has been available on the internet for free downloads in a name, My Ass Hurts, But My Hua-Jai Loves It.
