Mu

Bio

There are several MU: 1. Dutch experimental/improvisational underground band from Rotterdam. The band started in 1978 after witnessing a Red Crayola/Scritti Politti performance in cafe "Heavy". The next day they bought instruments and called the band Mentally Unfit taken from Lou Reed's Billy. Soon Backstreet Backlash Records owner Peter Graute would join and the bandname was changed to M.U. or MU so the initials could be used in various projects like The Marijuana Users, More of the Unexpected, Mescal Umbra etc. After helping to build the Backlash Studio the band became the studio's houseband with Martin van der Leer as engineer/recordingmaster. The lp M.U. "Motion In Tune" 010 was the last reord to be released on the BackstreetBacklash label and it derived from various recordings. M.U. was active till 2012 the year their longtime companion Koos Ver A passed on. In the present Peter Graute, Wim Ver A & Steve Keen are still playing together and a new album is in the making. The original bandmembers are: Peter Mensingh (vocals/text), Peter Graute (guitar), Wim Ver A (guitar), Koos Ver A (†) (synth), Bob Knegt bas, Steve Keen (drums). Future bandmembers : vocals Teddy Treurniet (Mr. TnT) vocals Peggy Treurniet (Mr. Blueberry) Michel Faber (drums) Herman Smink (†) (drums) Martin van der Leer (engineer/recording), Frank Lievaart (engineer/recording) 2. MU was a psychedelic rock group that existed in the early 1970's & was formed by Merrell Fankhauser, whose earlier bands included Fapardokly & Merrell Fankhauser & H.M.S. Bounty. Reuniting with Jeff Cotton in 1970, Fankhauser then formed MU. In 1971, their first album was released and became a radio hit. Increasingly fascinated by legends of the lost continent of Mu, Fankhauser then relocated to the Hawaiian island of Maui in February 1973. Material for a second MU album was recorded on Maui in 1974, but not released until the 1980s on the two LPs The Last Album (Appaloosa, Italy 1981) and Children Of The Rainbow (Blue Form, US 1985). Mu disbanded in 1975. 3. MU is a quartet (sax/piano/guitar/drums) born from the musician's own interplay. MU's approach is jazz-like, since their music arises always and only from collective improvisations, but in its flow echoes and grooves appear, spreading from funky to ambient, from psychedelic rock to blues, from jazz to minimalism. Mu formed in Treviso, IT in 2002, and are: Andrea Bolinelli Gabriele Bruzzolo Giacomo LiVolsi Andrea O. Martin WebSite: www.res-net.org 4. MU is a shortcut for the name Mutsumi Kanamori.
