Mogul Thrash

British jazz-rock band Mogul Thrash evolved from James Litherland's Brotherhood, which in addition to guitarist Litherland (an alumnus of <a href="spotify:artist:7zSHQFzTnqpcbrmroB7bvM">Colosseum</a> who formed the group in 1969) also featured guitarist/reedist Michael Rosen, drummer Bill Harrison and the so-called "Dundee Horns" -- saxophonists Roger Ball and Malcolm Duncan. With the addition of ex-Splinter singer/bassist <a href="spotify:artist:0rk01XEfDhJhnBFp0LT1HQ">John Wetton</a>, the group rechristened itself Mogul Thrash, debuting in 1970 with the single "Sleeping in the Kitchen"; their self-titled RCA album appeared the following year, going largely unnoticed at home but finding favor throughout much of Europe. However, faced with legal problems with their management, Mogul Thrash was forced to disband shortly after the record's release; while <a href="spotify:artist:0rk01XEfDhJhnBFp0LT1HQ">Wetton</a> went on to join <a href="spotify:artist:0FtsBt4gg67x9q0CS5FhB6">Family</a> and later <a href="spotify:artist:7M1FPw29m5FbicYzS2xdpi">King Crimson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1FNmqPy2DuIQkZEWSzO3Cw">Duncan</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0quYJv2EZ2SBMvvdDQDRTm">Ball</a> soon reunited in <a href="spotify:artist:3tx8fyu3c4OBP5nejYtUOb">Average White Band</a>. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
