Biography

MOEV is a synth-pop band based in Vancouver, Canada. It was founded in 1981 by [a=Tom Ferris] (keyboards, percussion) and [a=Cal Stephenson] (keyboards, vocals). They were joined by [a=Madeleine Morris] (vocals) and [a=Mark Jowett] (guitar) later that year. MOEV's debut album, "[Link]," appeared in 1982. After their first label (San Francisco based "[l=Go! Records]") went broke in early 1983, band member [a=Mark Jowett] and manager [a=Terry McBride] formed [l=Nettwerk] Records in early 1984 to release MOEV material. Singer [a=Madeleine Morris] departed, leaving [a=Cal Stephenson] to fill in temporarily. [a=Christine Jones] was recruited to provide vocals for the 1984 singles "[Link]" and "[Link]." In January 1985 [a=Michela Arrichiello] became the new vocalist in collaboration with Cal. After signing with [l=Profile Records] of New York in September 1985, "[Link]" was released. At this point, [a=Mark Jowett] left to concentrate on his managerial duties at [l=Nettwerk], [a=Cal Stephenson] returned to school, and [a=Michela Arrichiello] left as well.... A new lineup for MOEV would take shape: joining [a=Tom Ferris] were [a=Kelly Cook] (bass, drums, vocals), [a=Dean Russell] (vocals) and [a=Anthony Valcic] (keyboards, percussion) (briefly). Two successful 12" singles followed, "[Link]" and "[Link]," and MOEV were picked up by [l=Atlantic Records] for the next album "[Link]". In early 1990, MOEV began recording with producer [a=John Fryer] on their third album "[Link]," with [a=Sarah McLachlan] providing background vocals. The release of the 1991 compilation album "[Link]" appeared to be MOEV's last. Singer [a=Dean Russell] passed away in 1994 after a lengthy illness. [a=Tom Ferris] worked in various other projects until 1998, when he and Julie, his wife and new vocalist, decided to re-animate the band, recording songs they had written in the intervening years. Founding member [a=Cal Stephenson] co-wrote some songs. [a=Kelly Cook] re-joined the band. Finally [a=Drew Maxwell] (guitar player for Redshift) was added to the lineup. Perhaps there is more in store from MOEV....

LYRICS

It's a serious hunger
That can lead you around
Like a farmer leads a bull
To the butcher in town
And you never know when
Your time's gonna come
And you can't settle down

And you couldn't stop now
Even if you were able
And you wouldn't settle down
At a simple table

Yeah, whatever makes you happy
yeah, whatever makes it happen

It's a system of beliefs
That makes you look down
At the whole human race
From a comfortable cloud
And you'll never come down

And you won't come around
Yeah and you'll never come down

Yeah, whatever makes you happy
yeah, whatever makes it happen

Have you been a slave to sin?
Have you seen what's happening?
Will you ever see enough?
Wash away the history
Have you seen what's happening?
Will it ever be enough?

Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
yeah, whatever makes it happen

Have you been a slave to sin?
Have you seen what's happening?
Will you ever see enough?
Wash away the history
Have you seen what's happening?
Will it ever be enough?
