Mauro Pezzente is a Canadian musician. He is best known as being co-founder of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Pezzente, along with Efrim Menuck and Mike Moya, founded Godspeed You! Black Emperor in 1994.[1] Along with Thierry Amar, Pezzente plays the bass guitar for the band.[1]
Pezzente has the distinction of being the first to live and perform within the Hotel2Tango.[2] Christening it the Gallery Quiva, Pezzente and his girlfriend played infrequent shows there until exhaust and carbon monoxide from the garage below the loft caused them to move out.[2] Efrim Menuck soon moved in and renamed it.[2]
