“I would like a nice large creamy slice this time around”: UFO frontman Phil Mogg returns with Apple Pie, first single from new band Moggs Motel

The debut album by Moggs Motel will be released later this year

Moggs Motel, the new band from UFO frontman Phil Mogg, have released their first single and video. Apple Pie comes from the band’s self-titled debut album, which will be released via SPV/Steamhammer on September 6, and finds Mogg in typically playful mood.  

“Apple Pie is the first track off the Moggs Motel extravaganza,” says Mogg, apparently happy to confirm that the band’s name doesn’t include an apostrophe. “It concerns the quest for a piece of the pie, namely ‘Apple’ because I would like a nice large creamy slice this time around. Also I would get to ride the pony while she’s swishing her tail – how sweet is that!” 

“I just need that elusive pie,” he continues. “This track was conjured up towards the end of lockdown. This was our first get-together as a team, and a very jolly affair it was too – so enjoy the ride and get a bite… not a nibble please.”
