Me Mom and Morgentaler were a Canadianthird wave ska band based in Montreal, Quebec.[1][2] The band members included Gus "Van Go" Coriandoli, Kim Bingham, John Jordan, Adam "Baltimore Bix" Berger, Kasia Hering, Sid Zanforlin, Matt Lipscombe, Noah Green, Diane White,[3] and John "JB" Britton. They were known for their elaborate live performances, spectacles of vaudevillian-styled performance art with leftist leanings.[1][4] They sang in both English and French.[5]
The band formed in 1988. They chose their name, with its reference to Henry Morgentaler, a doctor and pro-choice activist, before performing at a talent show at Marianopolis College where nuns worked.[citation needed]
In 1991 the band released an EP, Clown Heaven & Hell.[6] In 1993 they released a studio album, Shiva Space Machine,[1][7] and in 1994 a live album, We Are Revolting, was released.
The band broke up in 1996.[1][5] Green went on to join NYC-based nerdcore hip hop band 2 Skinnee J's, taking the stage name J Guevara. Coriandoli also moved to New York, where he became involved in rock music production and opened a studio in Brooklyn.[7][8] Bingham went on to a solo career, releasing an EP as Mudgirl before reverting to her own name for future releases.
Reunionsedit
The band played a one-off reunion show at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 1999,[9] and later reunited in late 2007 for a series of four Montreal shows in support of the re-release of Shiva Space Machine.[1][10] The new CD offered re-ordered, remixed versions of the band's classics, along with three unreleased live tracks.
Awardsedit
In 2007 Me Mom and Morgentaler was presented with a Tribute Award at the Quebec Independent Music Awards.[5]
