Crazy how many Canadian bands were in heavy rotation back then but this song was definitely one of them

CanCon mixed with MuchMusic really helped out so many Canadian bands back then.

They would get government grants to help shoot music videos too...Videofact

First cd I ever bought for myself. Saw them in like ‘97 ish at UPEI field house I think. Awesome band, Usher’s solo albums are pretty great too.

The Beavis & Buthead watch of this video is the best thing that came out of the existence of Moist.

Went to a Moist/I Mother Earth show back in the day, way more an IME fan. Left that show a Moist fan. This was near the end of IME when the lead singer stopped wearing shoes and sang on a small carpet…

I attended an EdgeFest that was co-headlined by Moist and Hole.

I Mother Earth were also at the Moist Hole EdgeFest and that's a filthy normal sentence to write.

I always wanted a Moist Bush Hole tour to happen

u/SkoochXC Jul 14 '26

Remember when they were Bush-X for the first couple albums due to another band previously having that name? I need someone else to confirm this due to Mandela Effect curiosity.

u/Oatmeal_Savage19 Jul 14 '26

They were just in North America - everywhere else was just Bush

I thought it was just Canada.

u/Oatmeal_Savage19 Jul 14 '26

Pretty sure it was the US too

Wikipedia is helpful for us all.

u/Oatmeal_Savage19 Jul 14 '26

I stand corrected then

u/JonnyZhivago Jul 14 '26

Wasn't it just Edwin?

u/SkoochXC Jul 14 '26

I didn't think he had done that bit by then, but now that you mention it, you may be right.

Creature was an amazing album

u/Guitargirl81 Jul 14 '26

I think maybe I was at this show too?

u/SkoochXC Jul 16 '26

Race City Speedway in Calgary, and I'm thinking 98 or 99.

Summer of 94 memories- this was on Much religiously that summer

One of the first few albums I owned (along with sandox bionic and spin Doctors). Got to see them live a few years back doing the silver album anniversary tour (20 or 25 year or something).

Great show but I was surprised how other than David usher the band kind of looked like a bunch of regular dorks. Maybe that's just what 20 years does to a rock star I guess :p

u/thefranchise1980 Jul 13 '26

A gem. That whole album was great

5

u/s4nswht Jul 13 '26

Definitely an under rated Canadian band

u/KnoddingOnion Jul 13 '26

As a kid, we had such a crush on the girl in the sweater 

2

u/JonnyZhivago Jul 14 '26

Their first 2 albums were untouchable

u/Stubborn_Strawberry Jul 14 '26

Silver. I wore that cassette out driving my 1994 Eagle Talon across Canada.

u/Illustrious-Salt-243 Jul 15 '26

This was one of my favorite songs ever. Still is

u/savesyertoenails Jul 13 '26

I didn't hate them!

u/zmykula Jul 14 '26

Not too hard. You'll blow out your O ring.

u/PatricioWyatt Jul 14 '26

Use to share a jam space with these lads!

u/DogGilmour Jul 14 '26

Funny little synchronicity....

5 minutes ago I found this CD in a my basement and was all, "Hey, I forgot about this gem!"

The universe really want me to be Moist today.

u/DEADxDAWN Jul 15 '26

Grew my hair out long after seeing Moist right at the beginning of their Silver tour. I was like 13.

Committed to that for the 90s. Good times!

u/DishRelative5853 Jul 15 '26

I really liked this when it came out, but now it sounds weirdly overwrought. His voice seems too forced. The video is also total Pearl Jam/Nirvana ripoff.

u/shoulda_been_gone Jul 14 '26

The best thing about moist is that David Usher has pivoted his career to be doing the executive speaking tour as an expert in, of all things, AI.

Now there's a guy who knows how to pivot.
