Mogul Thrash

Mogul Thrash evolved from James Litherland’s Brotherhood, a British jazz‑rock group that included guitarist James Litherland (formerly of Colosseum), guitarist/reed player Michael Rosen (previously of Eclection), drummer Bill Harrison, and the “Dundee Horns” — saxophonists Roger Ball and Malcolm Duncan. With the addition of singer and bassist John Wetton, formerly of the short‑lived London band Splinter (not to be confused with the vocal duo from South Shields), the group adopted the new name Mogul Thrash. The name was inspired by a sketch from comedian Spike Milligan, who parodied the popular Michael Miles Show. In the sketch, Milligan portrayed a character called “Mogul Thrash,” a reference that amused the band and ultimately became their chosen moniker. Mogul Thrash debuted in 1970 with the single “Sleeping in the Kitchen.” Their self‑titled album followed in 1971 on RCA. Although the record attracted little attention in the UK, it gained a following in several European countries. Legal issues with their management soon forced the band to disband. After the breakup, John Wetton went on to join Family, and later King Crimson, UK, and Asia. Meanwhile, Malcolm Duncan, Roger Ball, and Michael Rosen reunited as part of the Average White Band.
