Bio
[Edit this profile]Band members names - roles in band:
Jonni (Vocals, Guitars, Computing Programming, Posing)
and Candii (Posing).
Brief band history:
Mogul are a girl-boy duo from West Bromwich. Lo-Fi
techno bubblegum with insolent punk attitude.
Casios, Speak 'n' Spells, spot on street suss, a
devotion to the more synthetic early 80's, especially
Sigue Sigue Sputnik, it's all there!
Their first single was a cheeky cover of Oasis 'Roll
With It', their second the lets-go-shoplifting anthem
'I Was Starving Hungry (In Tescos)', while their third
the Brumtastic 'Rotunda', featured the ultimate
electro-punk b-side ever, 'Spit On You'.
Jonni 'n' Candii spotted each other across a crowded
Birmingham dance-floor to the sound of 'Teenage
Kicks'. Mogul was formed spontaneously there and then
by the union of the two beautiful deviants.
Jonni is a cross between Bob from the film 'Rita & Sue
& Bob Too', Del Boy, and Jonny Rotton. Candii is an
evil selfish little bitch. Both complete with black
country accents.
Mogul like fluffy clothes and neon-lit cities. They
think that beards and pop don't mix, and they drink
tea then they can't afford blue WKD alcopop. Mogul are
100% plastic, yet completely real. They're doing for
Casios what Stereolab did for Moogs.
