Mercury Rev is an United States|American rock music musical band|group, formed in the late 1980s in Buffalo, New York. Original personnel were David Baker (singer)|David Baker (Singer|vocals), Jonathan Donahue (vocals, guitars), Sean Mackowiak, a.k.a. "Grasshopper (musician)|Grasshopper" (guitars, clarinet), Suzanne Thorpe (flute), Dave Fridmann (bass guitar|bass) and Jimy Chambers (drums).
With their early records, Mercury Rev offered experimental, psychedelic rock, which gradually shifted to a melodic, ornate sound. Mercury Rev are often compared to The Flaming Lips, and in fact have close ties: Soon after the band's formation, Donahue also joined the Flaming Lips as second guitarist and appeared on two of their albums. Furthermore, since the 1990 album ''In a Priest Driven Ambulance'', Dave Fridmann has co-produced every Flaming Lips studio album to date except 1993's ''Transmissions from the Satellite Heart''.
Despite considerable critical acclaim, their early releases never gave Mercury Rev more than cult following|cult popularity, though they appeared on the smaller second stage at some 1993 Lollapalooza stops. Baker left after their second record, ''Boces'' (1993), citing musical and personal disputes; he later recorded an album as Shady. With his departure, the darker, more experimental and less accessible features of their music began to disappear.
