Biography

Heavy issues aside, Artificial Joy Club sounds large, strong and melodic -- and intellectually accessible in both their music and lyrics. Their Interscope debut Melt turns out music both blunt and poignant, music that's emotive. Imported from Ottawa, Canada, Sal, guitarist Leslie Howe, bassist Tim Dupont, guitarist Michael Goyette and drummer Andrew Lamarche are not only great musicians, but outspoken and unapologetic. True to their heritage, however, they are funny and wryly observant. Drawn to junk/pop culture, urban folklore, and psychological introspection, Melt is strewn with references such as Vulcans, Kevorkian, gerbils, Forrest Gump, pogo sticks, cheeky monkeys and Pete Best. ~ Amanda Nusbaum, All Music Guide

Artificial Joy Club was a Canadian alternative rock band.

The group formed in 1993 when Louise Reny and Leslie Howe, formerly of the pop group One to One, joined with guitarist Michael Goyette, bassist Tim Dupont and drummer Andrew Lamarche. Initially taking the name Sal's Birdland, the group released its debut album, So Very Happy, in 1994. In 1995, the group reworked So Very Happy with production assistance from Michael James and released Nude Photos Inside to the North American market. ("Sal" was Reny's stage name in the band.)

In 1997, the band changed its name to Artificial Joy Club. They had a #17 Billboard Modern Rock Tracks hit that year with "Sick and Beautiful", and appeared on the second stage bill at the Lollapalooza festival.

The band broke up in 1999.
