Mogwai
 

Anyone heard these guys?

Very cool stuff, a bit like godspeed you black emperor and sigur ros.

yes they're awesome!

Yep, I was introduced to them by the folks on this board, and I haven't looked back since. Heck, its the same with Sigur Ros. You people are just overflowing with useful advice :D

they are playing in philly soon...this week i think? i only have my father my king....a 20 min instrumental which is pretty good. i heard they are a very loud band

YES!

Mogwai is excellent and very good in a live setting, although ear plugs are most recommended. I find them to be a bit less "orchestra-like" than Godspeed You! Black Emperor (btw, it's awesome that an Australian knows them!), but similar to Sigur Ros.

I own 2 of their albums: "Come On Die Young" and "Rock Action", both of which I wholeheartedly recommend, especially "Come On Die Young", which contains my favorite Mogwai song: "May Nothing But Happiness Come Through Your Door".

I am glad to meet people with such excellent taste in music!

I love Sigur Ros, but have never gotten into Mogwai or GYBE
