My Sister's Machine

My Sister’s Machine

Active: 1989 - 1994

Members: Chris Gohde, Chris Ivanovich, Nick Pollock, Owen Wright

Before the formation of My Sister's Machine, guitarist Owen Wright and drummer Chris Gohde were in Mistrust in 1984 with former Culprit singer Jeff L'Heureux, recording and touring until they broke up in '88. Meanwhile, Nick Pollock played guitar in a glam metal band called Alice N' Chains, a precursor to Alice in Chains included Layne Staley on vocals. After the demise of their bands, Pollock joined Wright and Gohde to form My Sister's Machine along with bassist Chris Ivanovich. Since none of the other members had ever been a lead singer, Pollock got the job by default as he was also their primary lyricist until their demise in '94.
