About Me


wOg is ROBBIE AVENAIM and RAY AHN



Avant-garde music for the masses from two world-rated giants of the musical underworld: surely that cant be a bad thing.RODNEY SWENSON - Village Voice - 2006

Their chemistry is undeniable: an avant-garde free-jazz improviser of the highest order dabbling in punk and a punk-rock fiend of distortion dabbling in avant-garde and improvisation joining forces to unleash an infectious yet brutal alternative to the current chart fodder!!!!!!!

Left to their own devices, Robbie and Raymond have come up with a band that they believe will conquer the musical world with their fiery and catchy brand of avant-garde for the masses (not to be confused with avant-garde for bogans ). wOg is their vision of a middle-of-the-road, top 40 accessible avant-garde. wOg is a genuine attempt to make a million dollars by providing a genuine alternative to the acts currently in the charts, yet remaining avant-garde in spirit and delivery ==========================================================Th eir debut album WE ARE wOg is a masterpiece of unepic proportions. Clocking in at around fifteen minutes, Robbie and Raymond pay homage to the short attention span of the insect like consumers by providing infectious and catchy slices of top 40 friendly avant-punk that is GUARANTEED to blow the listeners ears right off. The listener will be humming these short fast bursts of happiness at work, in the shower, in bed! To keep things fresh and interesting, the boys have invented their own language JUST FOR THIS PROJECT!! Oh, and Chris Townend the esteemed engineer at Big Jesus Burger has captured the vibrant and somewhat crazed edge of this duo: the drums and bass are massive; the atmospherics and nuances are both terrifying and euphoric; the vocals are catchier than the clap. This is one SICK ALBUM ==========================================================
