Herzoga were birthed, fully grown, when a tempestuous cloud hanging over downtown Fenton disgorged its musicy load. Much to the relief of local residents, Matthew (voice and guitar), Mark (drummering) and Steve (bass and voice) were deposited without injury atop a local grassy knoll. Once they had given up trying to work out the precise biological quirks that had seen them born of a weather system, the chaps decided to make some sweet, sweet music.Sooner rather than later this meant their debut single “Things to Say†was released on Org records. This led to airplay from Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 and Radio 6, Huw Stephens and John Kennedy on XFM. Herzoga smiled in a contented manner as they kicked off their work boots and lit their pipes on the stove.But they did not rest on their entirely metaphorical laurels. Instead, the men of Herzoga decided to go and play some gigs, including topping the bill for Silver Rocket at Highbury Buffalo bar as well as supporting acts such as Maps, Prinzhorn Dance School, Glasvegas and Hot Hot Heat.Earlier this year, the sterling young gentlemen at We Like Danger records decided to release Herzoga’s second single, the double A-side of “Nice Car†and “Blood Schoolâ€. Again, airplay on Radio 1 and XFM followed, including John Hilcock making “Nice Car†his favourite track for a bit.Recently, a panel of wise people at Radio 1 decided that the band should be one of a handful of up and coming acts to record a live session at Maida Vale for the station’s “Introducing†thing. Herzoga thought it would be rude to refuse, so they went and laid down some hot cuts. That is all for now.
