That would be (muhr’-gull-bull) There’s no deep meaning to it. These guys are just like that, that’s all!
This three-member French fusion band really brings the goods! Led by renowned guitarist Christophe Godin (widely known as the best guitarist in France), and anchored by Ivan Rougny on Bass and Aurelien Ouzoulias on drums, their music is a careening high-speed chase with amazingly tight turns and startlingly quick yet fluid stops and transitions. Dropping jaws and stunning audiences across Europe for nearly ten years, Mörglbl became the surprise hit at the annual North East Art Rock Festival (NEARfest) in Pennsylvania last year by receiving a standing ovation and being cheered to a double encore.
It’s fusion with a metal edge and a whole lot of humor just to keep it sane.
Mörglbl possesses all the instrumental pyrotechics you’d expect from a top-notch fusion band but they also have something more, something missing in a lot of music of the genre, which can be described as a more “intuitive” feel to their playing. This sense coupled with their on-stage antics make for an all the more compelling show. You really will want to catch these guys if you have even the slightest appreciation for fusion, and particularly if you like it served up with substantial chunks of metal. Fans of Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai or Primus will find a lot to like here. Fingers, you see, are not supposed to move that fast, but they do. Live music isn’t usually supposed to be this much fun, but once you’ve seen them live you’ll know you’ve been Mörglbled!
