The Moog

Hungarian quintet the Moog were founded by Tonyo (vocals, keyboards), Gergo (drums, percussion), and Adi (guitar), three childhood friends who bonded over Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, and Placebo. After playing covers and writing their own material, the trio members decided to turn their band into a serious effort in 2004 and met their future bassist, Csabi. (Though Csabi didn't know how to play the instrument when he first met the band, his enthusiasm for the group caused him to learn quickly.) With the addition of final member Miguel (guitar), the Moog took musical inspiration from the likes of the Fratellis and the Arctic Monkeys and set about recording their first album. Sold for Tomorrow was released on MuSick Records in 2008.
