MOGWAI
Mogwai is Chinese for "ghost" or "demon". It's also the name of an indie rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. They got their name from the movie Gremlins. Still with me?
I first came across their music on the soundtrack to Michael Mann's Miami Vice (the film, not the show) and have been a fan since. They specialize in guitar instrumentals. Their music is ideal before the start of a race or during early morning workouts (Kellie).
Best tracks are "Auto Rock" and "We're No Here". Caught them live at Terminal 5 tonight (good venue but man is it out of the way; 56th and 11th ave; that's like the edge of the universe).
They handed out flyers for an upcoming documentary on French soccer star Zinedine Zidane, which features original music by Mogwai. Looks cool. Was directed by two artists so you know it's not going to be the "same old, same old". A modern take on the sports documentary. Whaddya know?
