Me Mom and Morgentaler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Me Mom and Morgentaler were a 1990s Canadian third wave ska band from Montreal, Quebec.

They were one of the most popular and influential alternative rock bands on the live music scene in Canada of their era, although they only released one studio album, 1993's Shiva Space Machine. The band members included Gus Corandioli (also known as Gus van Go), Kim Bingham, John Jordan, Adam "Bix" Berger, Kasia Hering, Sid Zanforlin, Matt Lipscombe and John Britton. Following Shiva Space Machine, the band broke up. They subsequently played a reunion show at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 1999.

They gained renowned for their elaborate live performances - spectacles of vaudevillian-styled performance art with decidedly leftist leanings.

The name "Morgentaler" refers to the Canadian doctor, Dr. Henry Morgentaler, an abortion activist.
