Moritz Von Oswald looks like Matthew Sweet meets Boyd Rice!

Kind weird now that images of him have 'come out'

The whole Basic channel mystery has been smashed, like Jandek!

Check him in this Palais Schaumburg video from '84:

Palais Schaumburg - Easy Go


Crazy dance moves from the Basic Channel man.

That was so hilarious I just shot water out of my nose!

You reckon he was a Phil Oakey fan?

Quality isn't it?!

As much as I admire and respect the man, once you've seen that video the aura is somewhat shattered!

No amount of flag twirling would detract from the quality of his work, and anyway, Palais Schaumburg were a decent band!

Wasn't he in the Associates? As a 'percussionist'? O r was that some misinfo regarding 'Paris Schoenberg'?

Yeah, I think he was just a session drummer for them around '84/85, which is interesting, they were a good band as well.

As I said, I have nothing but absolute respect for the man, I've met him when putting Rhythm & Sound on in Manc and the guy's a legend, just merely saying that it's an amusing video, I'm sure he agrees!
