Mausen first appeared around 1983 in Rome, Italy. They were never called Mauser at any point, albeit some ignorants say so.
In an interview they explain how they came up with that uncommon name:
Marco Solito: "We were looking for an easy name to memorize (like for Kiss or Saxon) and eventually we found Mausen, which doesn't mean anything, but looks like Mauser. In the end we framed Mickey Mouse with Mauser."
Rocco: "because we like it"
Just to say: They kept the mouse idea even lateron, so any babbling about Mauser guns is pure imagination.
In 1984 the 3-piece released a demo with 2 tracks. (I posted it here).
Marco Solito left the band and continued with Trixx (AOR) lateron.
Mausen broke up and Rocky and Fido formed Miss Daisy in 1986 with the addition of ex-Stiff bassist Corrado Cecere.
They recorded a 6-track demo in 1987, which by accident caught attention by Fast Eddie Clarke, so their album Pizza Connection was released in 1989 at Motörhead´s then record label GWR.
After touring England they returned to Italy, recorded one more demo in 1990 (4 bluesy songs plus an 1-hour-improvisation, still unreleased) and finally split up.
