The cosmic post-rock band Mogwai were formed in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1996 by guitarist\u002Fvocalist Stuart Braithwaite, guitarist Dominic Aitchison, and drummer Martin Bulloch, longtime friends with the goal of creating serious guitar music. Toward that end they added another guitarist, John Cummings, before debuting in March 1996 with the single Tuner, a rarity in the Mogwai discography for its prominent vocals;.
