Biography

In a reference book of the Moncton music scene, Mood Cadillac would be one of the chapters that links the much-loved Monoxides to their beligerent offspring, Iron Giant, with reference to the newly-formed, Blood Royal. Rising from the ashes of several bands in the always incestuous local scene, Mood Cadillac was a big ol' dirty chunk of fuzz with an obvious love of Black Sabbath. The band originally consisted of Mark (Gunther) Richard on vocals, Jody Perry (currently of Blood Royal) on guitar, Dan Dupuis on bass and (Iron Giant vocalist) Chris Lewis on drums.

Recording/Releases

They released a cassette only demo, "Big Ol' Dirty". Recorded and mixed in seven hours, for a chunk of hash and a pizza, by Rick White (who did the artwork as well), "Big 'Ol Dirty" tried hard to capture all the sludgy-goodness of this fuzzy four-piece. After the addition of Russ Payne on second guitar (just to make things even thicker), Mood Cadillac left themselves at the mercy of the lo-fi gods with Rick White, who once again lent his hand to the albums recording, as well as the sleeve art. This produced their self-titled CD. Unfortunately this was early in the days of CD burners and many of the whopping fifty CDs ever released (independently of course) are practically unlistenable. Some of these tracks are now available on myspace.

Line-up Changes and Reunion

Before the release of the the self-titled disk, Dan Dupius departs, and is replaced by none other than PJ Dunphy (Monoxides/ Iron Giant) who plays a big part in getting the disk out (although he doesn't even appear on it) only because he too is a fan of the dirtiness. This line-up continued on for another year, but then fell apart with nothing to blame but sheer laziness for some and lack of ambition for others. As of Nov. 06, almost 10 years from its conception, Mood Cadillac reunited. Their self-titled album was re-released by The Van Door in October 2008.
