Mothers Against Sex Association was a Finnish band. It was founded in Turku at October 1994. The founding members were Ville Mäntynen (vocals), Raimo Pesonen (drums), Olli "Opa" Nikoskelainen (guitars) and Pirjo Kesseli (bass and backing vocals). The idea of the band was to play "some noise". The songs were written by the whole band except the lyrics, which were written by Ville, the leader of the band. Ville's lyrics were highly influenced by decadent and absurd literature. The band toured hard in Europe and in Finnish clubs such as Tavastia. When Kesseli left the band in February 1996, Annmari Vänskä was hired as a new backing vocalist, and Tommi Saha of Vox Flatus joined in as a new bassist. Later alto violinist Paulina Ahokas joined in, and Opa Nikoskelainen was replaced by Toni Stranius, former guitarist of Xysma. Eventually Pesonen was replaced by Sami Puustinen, Paulina Ahokas left the band and Santtu Jokinen joined in as a keyboard player. The latter line-up made the band's last record, yet unreleased ''Same, same but different''. The style of the band was in constant turmoil. The rough guitar walls of original line-up were replaced with Paulina Ahokas' more violin-based sound, and eventually the band played very atmospheric and emotional music. Mothers Against Sex Association quit in 2002 after the vocalist Ville Mäntynen died. Toni Stranius died in February 2006. ==Discography== * ''Estonian Karaoke'' (7" EP) (Crawfish FISH-004) (1996) * ''Shut up and Look Stupid'' (mini-CD) (Crawfish FISH-007) (1997) * ''Pause / I'll be Your Sister'' (7" single) (Hiljaiset Levyt HIKS-047) (1998) * ''Same, Same But Different'' (yet unreleased) (2000) Also the track "One second" is found on the compilation "Cabaret Nocturno vol III" (2002, Zerga).
