Following the tumultuous riots of the late 60's, youths in Washington, DC were looking for two things: positivity and an outlet to relieve tension. MUGO, aka "Music, Unity, Guidence, & Organization", offered just that. Formed by 8 high school friends during the summer of 71', this high-octane machine was driven by Manager and retired Marine Sgt. Reuben McNair Sr. His son Reuben McNair Jr., was a leader within the group, and consequently wrote the B-side of their only public release. The cut, entitled "Space Travel". boasts a driving rhythm section as well as synthesizer overdubs likely to captivate even musically ambitious extraterrestrials. The flip, "Organize", became the groups unofficial theme song; submitting to the public a deft vocal response to rampant inner city blues.
