在卫斯里昂大学的电子、独立、舞曲、摇滚音乐专业。他们过去曾因，包括如“the management”在内的不成熟和大放厥词的歌曲为人们所知道。 他们只用iPod和一些话麦的表演方式最为著名。他们曾经（据闻）在卫斯理大学教堂战斗上帝。这是ruckus（音乐下载网站）的极端。
作为MGMT成员之一的 Andrew VanWyngarden *期与of Montreal成员Kevin Barnes录音，并计划2007年发行专辑 《Blikk Fang》。MGMT于2005年末与Of Montreal巡回演出，VanWyngarden在of Montreal06夏季巡回期间已登台演出。
Finding an unlikely middle point between Suicide's hostile proto-electro punk art noise and the sardonic, studied, but ultimately pop-friendly sound of the Flaming Lips, MGMT started as electroclash musical terrorists but quickly transmogrified into an eclectic, brainy pop group with heavy psychedelic overtones. MGMT first formed in 2002, during Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden's freshman year as art students at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT. At first the band was known as the Management, and its shows consisted mostly of backing tapes, synthesizers, and prerecorded vocals playing as Goldwasser and Van Wyngarden engaged the audience in a manner somewhere between performance art and good old-fashioned punky hostility. By their senior year, things had toned down considerably on-stage and the duo was augmenting its live sound with backing musicians. Upon graduating, the duo released an electro-rock EP, Time to Pretend, on the tiny indie Cantora Records in 2005. Good reviews, especially for the title track, and extensive touring brought the duo to the attention of British producer Steve Lillywhite in his role as an A&R executive for Columbia Records, which signed the band for a major long-term deal in 2006. Regrouping in Brooklyn, the duo enlisted producer Dave Fridmann to create the entirely different-sounding Oracular Spectacular, a far more musically expansive album. MGMT were Of Montreal's opening act for their extensive 2007 tour, during which Van Wyngarden and Of Montreal leader Kevin Barnes began sketching out ideas for a new collaboration called Blikk Fang.
