Influences
my school report always said I was easily influenced

“Like early Art Brut wrestling with a pub outing of psychiatrists” - Steve Lamacq.....
"Not a second is wasted on this crucial, inventive unit. Think Art Brutish vox over Awful Sparksish quirkiness." Artrocker
"More genius from our single-licious buddies at Org" - Subba -Cultcha....
"Somewhere lurking beneath that feisty bassline is the kind of talent that screams out that great things lie ahead." - RoomThirteen.com....
"Part Wire and part very early XTC mixed with modern underground rock manouveres – exciting stuff." - Manchester Music....
"Very Manchester post punk sounding. Could have been on Factory in the eighties." www.indie-mp3.co.uk
"This is what Pavement would sound like if they came from Cobridge."

Herzoga was birthed in early 2007. Sooner rather than later their debut single “Things to Say” was released on Org records, which led to airplay from Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 and Radio 6, Huw Stephens and John Kennedy on XFM.
Not content to rest on their entirely metaphorical laurels, 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, Hot Hot Heat and The Young Knives.
Herzoga’s second single, the double A-side of “Nice Car” and “Blood School” gained airplay on Radio 1 and XFM, including John Hilcock making “Nice Car” his favourite track for a bit.
In March 2008, 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 annual “Introducing” feature. In August the band went on a national tour with co-headliners Who Owns Death TV. In March 2009 the boys were invited back to Maida Vale for another Radio 1 session, taking their wrongpop noise action to the masses once again.
Currently enjoying success with new release "Swetmores" , the trio are writing and recording some new hot cuts........
Here's footage of the adventures @ Maida Vale studios for BBC Radio 1, March 2008.

The first local bands showcase at The Bird in Hand took place on Saturday (11th) called 'Local Heroes' and featured, Audiocrime from Stafford and two bands from Stoke, Amateur Assassins and Herzoga. Rachel the lead singer of Audiocrime had been suffering from a bad cold and bless her cotton socks still did her best and croaked her way through Audiocrime's set. Audiocrime play a fairly formulaic style of music, but it was well honed and when Rachel's voice broke through you wished that her larynx and not been so lacerated by the ravishes of illness, c'est la vie. As Audiocrime performed, the Amateur Assassins to one side of the stage, fired off darts of alcholol fuelled poison arrows, in an attempt to linguistically assassinate the Audiocrime, but thankfully, their anti-rock star rock star antics failed to destroy their targets. Next up indeed were the Assassins themselves, with the vocalist swigging from his 23rd bottle of lager and swaying and stumbling, spitting and screaming over the top of a very tight and noisy band, the Amateur Assassins sought to divide, conquer, then divide again. If you like it you like it, if you don't you won't. So fuck you. Finally, Herzoga took to the stage with a palpable increase in professionalism and stage presence. This was the writer of this reviews first time seeing Herzoga perform and it was impressive. Stylistically, there was a sense of the geek chic, and the music mixed up post-punk choppiness with something that emerged as a groove and back again. The bassist entered the crowd at every opportunity, climbing on the furniture that resides in the back room of the venue and played his own personal gig to the wall for minute or two, was great to watch adding
La Folie are back in town again and we playing at the O2 Academy on Friday 11th of Septmeber! It's £4 a ticket and you get in to Transmission afterwards for free! Entry to that is usually £5 so it makes blatent sense to come see us first and you save a quid as well! get in touch if you fancy coming down
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
