Iconic Swedish punk band formed in 1978.
Mögel was one of the most original bands that came out of the first wave of punk in the late 70-ies.
During four years of existence they made more than 500 gigs all over Sweden and also Belgium, France and Czechoslovakia and were as popular with the local punk heroes as with Fred Frith. They made Radio Theater with Ingmar Bergmans favorite actor Erland Josephson and toured and even made a TV-documentary with the legendary Ebba Grön and KSMB.
The record cover to their debut record was done by Olivia Télé Clavel from the Bazooka group who designed a lot of legendary punk records (Iggy & The Stooges Metallic K.O. etc.) and almost single handed designed the French punk. The record was recorded in France with Ferdinand Richard from Etron Fou Leloublan producing. Ulrika, who sang, was one of the three hosts of the only radio program playing punk at that time in Sweden – Ny Våg – which caused a lot of outrage among the people of good taste. In 2009 the band reformed when the compilation 1978-83 came out and did about 15 gigs. In 2011 the drummer - Maries Wrengler - died and the band came to halt. In 2018 they came back with the single Mitt Orange Kuvert - which became something of a mini-hit, hit a nerve and became a subject for newspaper articles and TV-shows. In 2020 they returned with a new single - ÖKA! - and a new drummer - Anna Lund (Miriam The Believer among other). In 2022 singer Ulrika left and Ann Karlberg from Pink Champangen and Curious Yellow took over and a the singel Covid-19 was released!
