The Pop-Rock act Mr. Mister was conceived in 1981 after two session musicians,
lead vocalist+bassist Richard Page and keyboardist Steve George, decided
to form a proper band; it was 1982 when the two began auditions, they
then met guitarist Steve Farris, drummer Pat Mastelotto was the last to
join; Mr. Mister's birth was a fact in spring of that same year.
By June the quartet signed to RCA, they started to record their material
and the first album was finished by the end of the next year. "I
Wear The Face" was finally released in early 1984, it reached the
#170 on The Billboard 200 Albums chart and the main single, "Hunters
Of The Night", became a moderate hit climbing to #55 on The Billboard
Hot 100.
in May 1985, Mr. Mister released their sophomore album, "Welcome
To The Real World", which soared to #1 on The Billboard Top 200 chart
and spawned three smash singles, the first of which, "Broken Wings",
hit #1 on The Billboard Hot 100 and the #4 on The Mainstream Rock Tracks
list, the follow-up single cut, "Kyrie", peaked at #1 slots
in the same charts and "Is It Love" reached the #8 and #17 respectively
on Billboard's Hot 100 and Mainstream Rock charts.
The band retutned in September 1987 with their third album, "Go On...",
unfortunately, this album didn't receive the attention that it deserved
and stalled at #55 in U.S. Top 200 chart; only one single, "Something
Real (Inside Me/Inside You)" reached the top 30 of The Billboard
Hot 100.
During the promotional tour irritation and jealousy grew between Page
and Farris, they were constantly argueing about who was supposed to be
the band's leader; Farris eventually left the Misters in the summer of
1988.
Mr. Mister finally decided to break up.
