Melissa Auf der Maur (born March 17, 1972) is a Canadian rock musician who currently resides in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Auf der Maur became friends with Billy Corgan after apologizing for a friend who threw a beer bottle at him during one of The Smashing Pumpkins’ Canadian concert dates. Her band, Tinker, opened for The Smashing Pumpkins in Montreal in 1993. In 1994, when Hole was in need of a new bassist following the death of Kristen Pfaff, Corgan recommended Auf der Maur to Courtney Love. Auf der Maur initially turned the job down, but reconsidered on advice from her father. She joined Hole two weeks before the Reading Festival, and stayed through the album Celebrity Skin, leaving on October 20, 1999.
In 1999, she joined The Smashing Pumpkins after the departure of D’Arcy Wretzky, and remained with the band until they disbanded in 2000.
In 2001, she sang on Rufus Wainwright’s album, Poses.
In 2002, she sang with Nicola Sirkis on the French band Indochine’s song “Le Grand Secret”.
In 2004, she released her debut album, Auf Der Maur. The singles “Followed the Waves”, “Real A Lie” and “Taste You” garnered significant airplay on modern rock radio.
A follow up to that album is now in production and will include collaborations with Billy Corgan.
