Their
final mixes were all mastered in NYC by Vlado Meller
at Sony.
MõG
opened for both Eddie Money and Foreigner at the Hampton
Beach Casino in 1997 and 1998... played Locobazooka as one
of the featured bands in 1998... showcased in NYC including
the Spiral Lounge and in Boston including Mama Kin... and
coordinated multiple fund raising concerts to benefit the
homeless in NYC and Boston. MõG won "Best National Group" in
1996 at the LA Music Awards and showcased at NEMO/Boston
in 1998. They were also known as the unofficial "house
band" for various Hard Rock Cafes including; NYC, Montreal,
Boston, Washington D.C., and Niagara Falls. MõG received
Boston, New England, National and International airplay on
radio and the Internet.
MõG
is comprised of Kris Bruno (lead vocals, djembe/percussion,
occasional drums, and a Systems Engineer), Bob Schlink (acoustic/electric
guitars, vocals, the Viotar™, and a teaching Professor
at Berklee College of Music in Boston) and
Bob's
son, Rob
(lead/rhythm guitars and a practicing Entertainment Attorney).
The story of the very unique and patented Viotar™ -
an invention of Bob Schlink - will be covered soon in the
formal Bio section here on the website.
MõG
remains active in the studio and their new CD, "Before
It's Gone," is a selective collection of their previous
recordings, along with some new tunes, one turning out to
be the Crosby-Nash song, "Immigration Man." The
complete collection will be released in MP3 format sometime
in Spring 2008 and then, later on, as a regular CD.
"Immigration
Man" is the first track to be released from "Before
It's Gone." The other tracks on "BIG" will
be released here on the site as well as MP3s and CDs of their
earlier recordings.
And, yes, there is a music/social website called MoG.com which is now unrelated
to the band. MoG.com was the band's original website, but an offer that
couldn't be refused resulted in MõG selling it to the owner of GraceNote.com
back in 2005.
