Reviews
Mogwai, Múm, Part Chimp at London Shepherds Bush Empire, Thu 19 Apr
After partying on a remote scottish isle, Mogwai's arrival in London looked set to prove to a packed audience that they remain one of the few truly awe-inspiring, noisy and original live acts still around. There were some clues of what was to come in the two excellent support acts. Part chimp wel»

About the artists
Mogwai
Mogwai are...
- Stuart Braithwaite - vocals, guitar
- John Cummings - guitar
- Dominic Aitchison - bass
- Barry Burns - keyboards
- Martin Bulloch - drums
- Brendan O'Hare - keyboards (left 1998)
Drawing influences from a whole range of remarkably similar post-rock bands, Mogwai have slowly become one of the biggest underground bands of the last ten years. Critically adored, they manage geniunely heart achingly beautiful songs and also have the ability to make ears bleed (often at the same time).

Come On Die Young (1999)
Rock Action (2001)
Happy Songs For Happy People (2003)
