The Mommyheads
A leading light in the mid-1990s indie rock scene, the Mommyheads were formed in 1987 while Brooklyn-born singer Adam Elk (née Cohen) attended New York City's prestigious High School of Music and Art. The original line-up included the late Jan Kotík on drums and Matt Patrick on bass. The trio released a Wharton Tiers-produced EP, Magumbo Meatpie, on the tiny Sit and Spin label and made a favorable impression on discerning downtown audiences. Within two years, Elk and company released their full-length debut -- the layered, complex, and lo-fi Acorn -- on Fang Records. Soon after, keyboard player Mike Holt and drummer Dan Fisherman unofficially joined the band for their numerous live shows, and the new lineup went on one of many national tours. In 1990, the Mommyheads relocated to San Francisco, and eventually recorded Coming Into Beauty, their eclectic second album and first Simple Machines release.
