Mogul Thrash

UK jazz rock/brass rock/prog group formed in 1969 as James Litherland's Brotherhood. According to some sources it was Brian Auger's idea to rename the band, avoiding confusion with another RCA signing called Brotherhood. The band's name refers to Spike Milligan parodying Michael Miles on TV. In effect Mogul Thrash became the missing link between several bands: Colosseum, King Crimson, Average White Band, etc., and their style of brass rock meets prog and jazz was very creative mixing in a wide range of influences, notably rooted in the early Colosseum sound. The band existed only long enough to make a single and an LP (both produced by Brian Auger), plus a BBC In Concert and 2 sessions.
