Biography

1) Moist was a five-piece Canadian alternative rock band that was popular in the mid-to-late-1990s. The band was led by singer David Usher. Other members of the band were Mark Makoway (guitars), Jeff Pearce (bass), Kevin Young (keyboards) and Paul Wilcox (drums).

Moist formed in the early 1990s and eventually released an independent cassette in 1993. The cassette caught the attention of EMI, who released their first full-length studio CD, Silver, in 1994. Producer Terry Brown (Rush, Blue Rodeo) was brought in to work on a few of the band’s songs, and the album went on to sell 400,000 copies in Canada on the strength of hard-hitting singles like Push, Silver and Believe Me. The follow up, Creature, was released in 1996 to even greater success, with the band’s sound maturing and fostering its softer side. A final studio album titled Mercedes 5 And Dime was released in 1999 which was softer and more melancholic than previous releases.

Moist are currently on an indefinite hiatus and show no signs of a reunion. David Usher has pursued a successful solo career.


2) After a life-long love affair with music, songwriter and producer, David Elfström Lilja, began releasing his own music under the name Moist in 2008. In Moist, he began his dream project, in which he writes, produces and play most instruments.
