M.O.G. - Radio Rock E.P. 7″
September 6th, 2006 at 4:49 am
One of the most underrated dutch HC bands. Maybe cause M.O.G. had wacky sleeves and an original sound. But boy did they put out some great HC! But I think they’re in their prime when they slow it down as heard in the two outstanding tracks here: Walking and King Skinhead. Great!
Due to the mystery of M.O.G I haven’t been able to dig anything up. There’s a discography page at Kill From The Heart but the years are wrong there. Their second 7inch was Crap Rap and released in 1988.
Maybe our friend Niels/Eet U Smakelijk(who ones where in Gepopel who released the amazing Paracide the same year) can give us some info?
Country: Holland
Year: 1985
Label: -
Format: 7″
Songs:
Walking.mp3
Hoobagoo
Never Too Late.mp3
King Skinhead.mp3
Pay The Price.mp3
Too Long.mp3
Give Them.mp3
The Down Away.mp3

Wow - nice surprise! Haven’t heard this before and probably would have avoided it due to the inca colored cover. Very well done, Peter!!

O.K., here goes… Gepopel once played with MOG in early ‘84, this was when they were just starting out, they still had two singers and played pretty unremarkable noisy HC. I remember we had to fill in the tax forms for the gig and they signed with names like “Dr. Spuug” (Dr. Phlegm) etc, ha ha… When I heard the “Radio Rock” EP 2 years later I couldn’t believe it was the same band; they got rid of the 2 singers and totally changed their style, sounding like a cross between early Meat Puppets, Die Kreuzen and BGK! A true, but underrated, Dutch HC classic. For collectors: there’s also a sleeve on silver paper, with different colors!

Thanks for the info Niels! Look for an upcoming post of the two great Sack-O-Woes you sent me!!!
September 30th, 2006 at 7:09 pm
Wow, great find - reminds me a lot of other classic NL HC, as Niels said, BGK…
Thanks!

Yo,
Its very cool to see this man!!!
I’m onley 18 years old (not from the 80’s)but I love MOG.
The guitarist (Martin Pals)is a friend of my dad,today he plays luth and plays a kind of classic music….

Would be lovely to have that translated to swedish or swenglish.
February 5th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
oetrubdfaer! of net!ookeee, you would have a translation of my very lovely message.no problem i am very nice person to all my friends.nice talking about mog.they mayby have red heads when they read all the positive messages.looks nice with their gray hair or no hair(anymore).i mean, they look like old guys by now.the inspirator,rob mast(sings and played bass at the same time)we called him TUK because he s from TUKLAND!.then we have the direct/hit/improvator gitaar maniac martin pals,we called him captain chaos because he did loose everything! finally…we have busdriver/jointsmoking/roadie and everything else ;raymond van hees, we knew him as a drummer but he was a manager! kingrax. as a well unit ,with all the music they loved to play, the end was coming. there are a lot of musical ideas who never saw vinyl,later they where used as ideas in same other hardcore-shit with other people. they used the name MOG with other music-people also.(not on vinyl,thank god for that)pure MOG is pure life.into life gigs the audiance didn t connect with them because they only played for themselfs!nothing wrong with that eccept there has to be a link with the people who came to the gigs.great singing,great music,great muppet-show drumming,everyone played “free from hand and mind” they played acient music with modern instruments in a modern changing world.ok ok..enough for now and i hope it s a bit more clear…gr mensgod (the translation is included with same extra )

Wow how many generations further are we..!!Strange piriod that was .I can remember that most of the gigs were turning into chaos.Good fun though!! Rob & Martin were also playing other music styles like experimental like Eno and such with other dudes.All music was heavenly influenced by the way we lived in squads & on the street ..& by smoking too much hash and the local coffee shop crowd.The Radio rock EP came also in Yellow/Blue cover print. I still got the Lp the Ep and some recordings on cassette tape.In the beginning they did not play for themselves at all!!!There was a crowd that traveled with them and they were very much connected umongst eachother during those gigs……

Guys that were ever to sing with M.O.G
as far as I can remember…Robert with the mohecan on his head that went into a radical right winged skinhead later in time .And Wim de Jongh.Later & on Vinyl I think it is just Rob & Martin singing.Ray went in time from skinhead dude into a kind of hippy dude!!Hihihi .
Years before M.O.G excisted there were other Ljouwert Punk bands that were really amazing great like the Jerks (Anton/Rienk-Jan/Rein) another band that name I forgot I think with Etteke de Boer and Gilbert Terpstra?But they were not hardcore.

Here Glbrt
I was just finishing tapes from digitalising.
Also a tape from The Jerks with Rein.
I played in The Pin-Baskets for a short while, but for the band probably the most exciting period. But no records were made in that period. Although we were on a record called Punk Live in Brouwershoeck. Very Nice even as I hear it today. After this we went on forming Kobus gaat naar Appelscha (2 years later), with 3 members of the Pin-baskets.
Etteke was to replace Rein on vocals but didn’t last long. I don’t think Rein was easy to replace. Well if you want to receive some mp3 from PB’s or Jerks let me know! Grtz Gil
March 11th, 2007 at 7:28 am
Hey hoi Glbrt,
Love some MP3 for sure!!!(my @mail see below)Jerks and Pinbaskets !!!!!..I can remember my first Jerks concert in my old school Lienward college!!I went crazy for the Jerks!!That was fist time I met M (from M.O.G )and before I lived with him & Etteke in a squad.I still have photos of the Jerks that were given to me by my dutch language teacher at school!(I think 1980)(also of a later time in the Prinsentuin)I missed out of a lot of Kobus as that was the time that M.O.G began also.(before M.O.G M was playing in “Pravda” with Nanning v mulken and Klaas schippers jr.)
I also remember that there was another very early Ljouwert punk band before the Jerks with a guy called Johnny?(he had a girlfriend called bouke(je) ? or something like that?)at least that was what M used to say .I never heard them as they must have existed as I was on the lagere school around that time.

Hi !!
Wow, at last I found some info about Mog !!
Does anybody know what Robert’s last name is??
I lived with him for some time and he was a good friend for me at that time in Leeuwarden! He had a big mohecan!
Hallo!
Eindelijk vind ik dan wat info over Mog !
Ik ben al tijden op zoek naar Robert. Ik heb in die tijd een tijdje bij hem gewoond in zijn kraakpand. Hij was een hele goeie vriend voor mij in die tijd. Had altijd hele grote hanekammen en rokjes aan. Hij woonde in het kraakpand naast Martin.
De laatste keer dat ik hem zag lopen in Leeuwarden, zag hij er meer uit als een skinhead en ik denk dat ie een kindje had..?
Wij organiseren een New Wave feest over 2 weken, vandaar dat er weer veel herinneringen naar boven kwamen aan die tijd..
Dus Anybody?? help?
:) Steph.

July 11th, 2007 at 11:22 am
WHOW!! WHAT AN INFO!!Robert, please step into the door of the wulfschanze, and wait there please!
July 14th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
M.O.G. was without a doubt the best HC band in my hometown Leeuwarden. Ray was in the same class as i was at the L.E.A.O. and damn that was the only i couldnt get promoted to a higher class. Of course we had much fun, later we went a lot to wolters noordhoff squat.
Mog also made a great split demo with Murder Inc III. If anyone likes it I can upload it to my new multiply site. MOG II was without Ray but with Detdmer on drums. I believe that line up recorded a track together with Comanche Rhythm for “I Would Let You In If My House Was On Fire” 12″ EP.
Stephanie: It was Robert Brouwer. Wonder what happened to him. I remember the squat with the red white ribbons all thru his room. Man that guy was a freak those days. I remember them rehearsing together with Robbo and Wim. Man those were the days. I know he is a parent indeed and not a punk anymore but that was over 8 years ago.
Gilbert: werent you also in KGNA ? Another classic band from Fryslan.
July 16th, 2007 at 2:40 am
Yes I was.
A small year Pin-Bskets, Oppnheimer Off Beat, Petticoat and after that the KgnA adventure started. It ended in january 1989. I joined TrioHell a few months later -parttime though- and later I went to became there full-drummer. After that I joined bands like Pretty Green and Buzzgum, now I am drummer in two bands… Drumming is something I really do from the heart. I can’t stop doing it until I’m dead and gone :)
July 27th, 2007 at 10:21 am
Hey guys, i know these guys since their beginning and have seen them rehearsing several time’s. Anyway i have an extra copy of their rare radio rock 7″ep in silver sleeve. If anyone is interested then let me know.

Wat leuk dat ik op deze website ben gestuit. Waarom is dit draadje in het Engels? Volgens mij zit er geen Engelsman tussen, als ik het allemaal zo lees. Sinds 1995 woon ik op een Canarisch Eiland. Heb daar nog korte tijd iets aan muziek gedaan. Concept: coverbandje met de wat heftiger new wave hits uit de jaren tachtig voor vakantievierende dertigers met kinderen, die het hotel niet uitkunnen. We waren druk aan het instuderen, twee Italianen op synthesizer en gitaar, ik zingen. Helaas pleegde de initiatiefnemer zelfmoord, had kanker en was een fan van Nirvana.
August 21st, 2007 at 8:01 am
ik heb nog gammel teepje met jouw op zang bij de Jerks. :)
August 27th, 2007 at 5:07 am
Is het teepje de moeite waard of laat de geluidskwaliteit te wensen over? Elders lees ik dat je ook MP3-opnames hebt? Ik zit heel erg in een nostalgische wave, heb me bijvoorbeeld ook aangemeld voor schoolbank.nl, het zal de midlifecrisis wel zijn.
September 3rd, 2007 at 7:24 am
Kan je wel een file sturen met het materiaal hoor.
Het is grappig, maar uiteraard geen studiokwaliteit.
Dus geef je mailadres anders maar. Geef ik je ene link kun je het daar weg downloaden.
Wij hebben samen ook ooit nog eens in de oefenruimte (bij Prinsentuin-dat schooltje) gezeten met Jan Snnga, weet je dat nog?
Die wave, waar je het over had, die heb ik begin dit jaar heel sterk gehad. ;)

Ik dacht dat ik de tape al had omgezet, maar het zijn The Jerks met Rein.
Ik zal de tape van Simplon binnenkort even de compu in laten lopen, stuur ik het je dan alsnog toe.

We should was out your filthy mouth with soap, Walter!
December 12th, 2007 at 8:04 am
Sorry Erich, but i don t know the meaning of some scandinavian words. Basterbob sounds a bit like bassmantuk,and that s the artist name of Rob who played bass in the MOG triangle.What means kuk-tak? Sounds a bit like an old hero of mine,his name was Kluk-kluk.He was an Indian chief and worked in the circus together with Dikke deur and Mammaloe. Peppie and Kokkie. I cleaned my mouth, ok?
December 16th, 2007 at 8:55 am
Here s the situation today; Today s Martin plays luit (vroeger dus luid).Rob plays some tam-tam, and Ray playes with welding machines.I know some tapes of the real composing time , and its loud.They even played a few time s with another guitar player, Jan vd Mossel. It was not an easy job , so with 3 members they carryed on. A whole new album was composed. Milkey way,in a space-ship real far away, see the planets passing by,mayby the stars of hardcore return in the same direction as its should be right. Three way,or the high way mister! No fake instand member change , then it stay s pure and real.Mayby i have to sell same secret MOG tunes,and became an millionaire for one day. More about MOG info at skjinfeije@hotmail.com

Just bought an overdrive pedal on the internet from some guy, who turned out to be Martin ex-MOG! The pedal was even used on the EP! Cool!
April 7th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Ha ha ha way cool Niels :). Did he knew about the success for MOG over here?
May 19th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Ha! Goed humeur-site! dag Gilbert, dag Etteke, hier Peter van It Dockumer Lokaeltsje destijds & nogsteedsindemuziek. MCA TUK RAX stond voor a) de initialen van Martin, Tuk stond voor bassist Rob (was een tukker) en Rax was onze Ray, drumbeest en
ook verder eh…bijzonder kind. ItDockL heeft wel met de MOGgers samen gespeeld. MOG was goed! Ongerichte projectielen komen nl. soms hard aan & ik denk dat Rob’s vocale bijdrage aan de eerste Lul-elpee klassiek is.
Martin, als je dit leest, het gaat goed met je oude Gibson Corvus, hij kan nog steeds mooi spelen & ik ben blij dat ik hem destijds van je gekocht heb.
Etteke, welk Canarisch Eiland? Misschien ben ik per ongeluk wel eens langs je voordeur gewandeld. La Gomera? La Palma?
This is Crap Rap
dag! Peter
