Buck298 - A brief Bio:
Buck298 is a new band on the scene. Even though the band is new to the area, the players are not. This band is a power trio of three strong players with many years making music. Formed out of a desire to bring heavy funk blues with a modern touch to the Canton, Akron, Youngstown, and Cleveland music scene. Bringing the feel and vibe of Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Trower, and Zepplin into a driving funk groove mixed with every type and style of music is Buck 298. We are looking for bookings right now, so help us out and get us out there.

Leading the band is Mike Moegling. Mike has been making music for over 30 years on several instruments. Primarily known for his big and funky drum style, the last few years have brought out the guitarist in him. Bringing the classic and modern elements of rock, funk, blues, jazz, and even metal to a high powered Stratocaster each time he plays, is his trademark. His motto each time he hits the stage, is to have a good time, don't take yourself seriously, get down to business, and play the living crap out of your instrument. I'm not the "old" guy on stage, I am you in 20 years! Crank it up.

On the bass is the Jehu the ladies man Justin (Moegling). Smooth with the ladies and smooth with the bass is an impressive multi instrumentalist. Justin has been playing bass for several years and started young in the deep tradition laid out by his dad. A truly musical player, he brings power, and a monster bottom end to the music. You can also catch Justin on the drums with Call Me Emergency.

Attack! - otherwise known as Mikee (Moegling), is Mr. Large and In Charge on the drums. A show within' himself, he is always the killer drummer in the room. Bringing the sense and feel of the classic funk and rock to the modern drive of today's rock and metal to Buck 298 is his specialty. Mikee is also a multi instrumentalist and you can catch him with Modern Day Royalty.


Mikal Davis


Mikal - we will miss you. One of the truely good guys and someone who was not only committed, but dedicated to making a mark and being genuine each and everyday.
An excellent musician and front man for Naos, Into the Machine, etc... who always put on a killer show and took time to be with people.
Going to guitar center will never be the same.
Buck298 is saddend at the loss of Mikal Davis in a car accident this last week. Our heart is broken for the loss of a friend from the road and a fellow man of song, and of meaning.
Rest in peace and live forever ... we will see you agian someday....

Mike Moegling
"Are you ready for some guitar!" Well I hope so. Being a deep disciple of Jimi, Jimmy, Jeff, and the last 50 years of rock, funk, blues, and jazz, you are going to get some guitar.

But to be honest it's the drums and rythmn of music that are the greatest of influences. Really what good is the guitars if the drum beat is not kicking in the background. Having spent the last 30 plus years playing drums in every type of band you could think, Mike keeps the drums a central driver to the guitar in Buck298's music.

Justin Moegling

It's an amazing thing when the bass is in the J-man's hands. It's big, musical, thumpin', and groovin'. Funk and groovin'. A true musican and multi-instrumentalist, Justin brings the old and new together for Buck298.
Having been a student of rock, modern, metal, x-core, funk, and jazz, it's all good on the bottom end. And if you ask Justin, he is smooth with the ladies as well!
Mikee Moegling
If you have ever seen Mikee play live, you know why his stage name is "Attack!". He is a rare find in the drum world these days. Bringing a true big beat sense with groove, style, with modern days intensity.
Fluent with groove, funk, rock, classic, and the new stuff, the music of Buck298 stays classic and true, and cutting edge when Mikee (Attack!) is on the drum throne.
