Synth-happy gang of five (and then four) with a penchant for sub-three minute pop gems.

Cosily ensconced in their rehearsal rooms on top of the Cambridge town hall, Inspector Moog put the ‘roll’ in ‘rock ‘n’ roll’, preferring to eschew practise in favour of eating sandwiches and relaxing.

They accompanied their numerous but infrequent gigs with the release of the album ‘Wait!’ in 1999, which was nominated for ‘Best Independent Release’ at New Zealand’s B-net awards the same year. They had airplay on nationwide B-net stations for songs including Lay Beside, Turn My Way and Not Bryan Adams.

The song 'Milk Biscuit Boy' was featured on the soundtrack to 'The Locals' (2003), a cult zombie horror film directed by Greg Page. The soundtrack was released on Mushroom Records in New Zealand and also features The Datsuns and The D4.

Inspector Moog played their final blinding gig at the close of 1999, a night they would never forget if only they could remember anything about it at all.

Original lineup: Rob Talsma (guitar, vocals), Louisa Soanes (bass, vocals), Dave Anderson (drums), Grant Brodie (keyboards), Sarah Ferguson (guitar, vocals).
