Jim Moginie

Jim Moginie (born 18 May 1956 in Sydney as James Moginie) is an Australian musician. He is best known for his work with Midnight Oil, of which he was a founding member, guitarist, keyboardist and leading songwriter.

Outside Midnight Oil, he has worked and performed with many notable Australian/New Zealand musicians, including Silverchair, Sarah Blasko, End of Fashion, Neil Murray, Kasey Chambers and Neil Finn. Moginie has also played live with fellow Midnight Oil member Rob Hirst's band Ghostwriters and contributed keyboards to the title track from their 2007 album "Political Animal".

He has also released two solo works. The four-track EP Fuzz Face was recorded in Moginie's small home studio with Oils' producer Nick Launay and released in 1996, with fellow Oils guitarist Martin Rotsey contributing under the psuedonym 'The Family Dog' - a term that Moginie would later use for his live band.

"Alas Folkloric" (2006) is Moginie's first full-length solo album and first release post-Oils. The album features contributions from Martin Rotsey and Rob Hirst, as well as Paul Dempsey (Something for Kate) on the track "Halfway Home", and was released through the Virgin Music label.

Produced Melbourne band The Fauves latest LP "When Good Times Go Good" released september 2008
