- Mogwai are named after those furry critters in the movie Gremlins
- `Mogwai’ also means ghost in Chinese
- They don’t test their music on animals
- Mogwai have a song titled `Batcat’, which is in no way related to the children’s Nickelodeon cartoon Catdog
- They are playing an exclusive set at the Splendour in the Grass festival this year at roughly the same time as Kanye West (I’d much rather go see Mogwai because Kanye likes fish sticks)
- … but are rumoured to be coming back for a full tour of Australia later in the year
- Mogwai are not crazy about Blur. They released their own t-shirts that read: `Blur are Shite’ (bottom of pg. 39)
- Mogwai member Barry Burns also thinks Robbie Williams and Axl Rose are “overglorified fuckwits’’ (fair call don’t you think?)
- Despite some trash talking, Mogwai are caring guys. They have donated tracks to Amnesty International and sold instruments to raise money for Haiti earthquake victims
- They released their seventh studio album Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will this year. It’s bloody awesome. Especially the song `Rano Pano’.
