The Mommyheads are an American indie pop band who played from around 1987 through 1998, disbanded for a decade, and then reformed in 2008. Starting in New York City as the brainchild of singer Adam Cohen (who later changed his name to Adam Elk to avoid confusion with Leonard Cohen's son, a musician also named Adam), the band produced a string of quirky and highly inventive releases on various independent labels, most notably Simple Machines. Their music has been compared to XTC. They relocated to San Francisco in 1990. The band signed to Geffen Records in 1997, producing a single album for the label before breaking up in 1998. They reunited to record a new CD in 2008. Jan Kotik, the original drummer for the Mommyheads, died on December 13, 2007, after being ill with cancer for three years. ==Members== *Adam Cohen (later Adam Elk)--guitar, vocal, plus occasional mandolin, melodica, autoharp, piano (1987–1998, 2008) *Matt Devin Patrick—bass, vocals (1987–1993) *Jan Kotik—drums, percussion, marimba (1987-1989 or 1990) *Michael Holt—keyboards, vocals, occasional guitar (1990–1998, 2008) *Dan "Oy" Fisherman—drums, harmony vocals (1990–1998, 2008) *Jeff Palmer—bass, (1993–1998, 2008) also: *Jude (name unlisted )—guitar, dulcimer (1987-8) *Tom (name unlisted )—bass (1987-8) (these two appear only on the "Magumbo Meatpie" EP and its "Antipop" LP re-release.) *Eric Bonerz—drums (circa 1990 or 1991) *Gary Wertz—guitar, vocals (circa 1990 or 1991) (these two appear only on the live ''Thirsty Ears'' compilation.) *Rick Wilson—bass (1993) (may only have been on recordings) *Jason McNair-bass (2010-current) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mommyheads」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
