History

Background (1984–1989)

Before the formation of My Sister's Machine, guitarist Owen Wright and drummer Chris Gohde were involved in a band called MISTRUST in 1984; this band also included former CULPRIT singer Jeff L'Heureux & ex-ROTTWEILLER guitarist Michael Winston. They recorded one album called 'Spin The World', which was released through C.O.M.A. Records in 1986. This band did an extensive amount of touring with the likes of ALICE COOPER, STRYPER, and LOUDNESS, however, the record failed to sell well enough and things began to fall apart, culminating in Winston's departure from the group in 1987.
Former Culprit/TKO guitarist Kjartan Kristofferson took his place for a brief period and the group continued performing shows and writing music but eventually they decided to call it quits in 1988.
'Spin The World' was re-released in 2022 by NW Metalworx Music with five additional demo songs as 'Spin The World: The Expanded Edition'.
Meanwhile, Nick Pollock played guitar in a glam metal band called ALICE N' CHAINS, a precursor to ALICE IN CHAINS which also included Layne Staley on vocals. The band recorded two demo tapes and toured throughout the state for roughly one year before breaking up on friendly terms in 1987.

Formation, Diva, & Wallflower (1989–1994)

After the demise of their previous 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.
In 1991, My Sister's Machine received the Best New Group award from the Northwest Music Association. They continued to garner much interest from the major record labels but ultimately chose to sign with a smaller label Caroline Records.
In 1992, they released their debut album, 'Diva' to much critical acclaim. Steve Kurutz of AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars, calling it "a surprisingly strong record." Mike Boehm ofthe Los Angeles Times opined, "Diva moves at a more rapid gait than either Alice in Chains or SOUNDGARDEN, and it dispenses with the leaden grunge that characterized the Seattle sound until a year or so ago (recent efforts out of the city, including, 'Diva,' tend to be far more melodic and better written)." Jim Washburn (also of The Los Angeles Times) described the band as "more melodic and propulsive than its Seattle soul mates Alice in Chains" when discussing the album, but was far less enthused when he saw them onstage, writing "those qualities flattened out into a lank-haired generic grunge that prompted much of the audience to exit long before the hourlong show had concluded."
Lonn Friend (editor of RIP magazine) who did a weekly segment on MTV's 'Headbangers Ball' talked about how much he loved 'Diva' & wore their shirt for the next two weeks on the show. The band later thanked Friend for his support in the liner notes of their next album 'Wallflower'.
Over the next year MSM toured the United Stated with PANTERA and WHITE ZOMBIE & supported SUICIDAL TENDENCIES on their tour across Europe. They did in-studio interviews on 'Headbangers Ball' promoting their single, 'I'm Sorry' & co-headlined a tour with PANTERA.
In 1993, they moved to Chameleon Records, a division of Elektra, and released 'Wallflower' later in the year before touring the United States with KINGS X. Just a couple months after releasing the album, Elektra Entertainment folded the Chameleon division, dropping the label's entire roster & leaving the album and band unpromoted. After a string of bad luck, My Sister's Machine split up in 1994.

Post-break-up (1994–present)

Since the break-up of My Sister's Machine, Nick Pollock has fronted the bands TANKS OF ZEN and SOULBENDER; the latter also features longtime QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist Michael Wilton. Meanwhile, Wright has played guitar in a band called OLD LADY LITTERBUG and Gohde has played drums for a band called HOT-ROD LUNATICS & CALL FOR THE PRIEST, the latter a JUDAS PRIEST cover band.

Reunion (2010–present)

On June 4, 2010, The Layne Staley Fund announced that My Sister's Machine would be reuniting for 'The Layne Staley Tribute', held on August 21 of that year. My Sister's Machine continued to play shows into the 2010's.
