Career

Gus van Go (born Gustavo Coriandoli) began his musical career as lead-singer/guitarist for the Montreal indie-band Me Mom & Morgentaler. The band established a following in the early 90s, and was known for its extravagant and theatrical live shows. Most notably, in 1999, over 10,000 attended the band's farewell concert in Quebec City.

In 1996, he moved to New York City, where he met musician and producer Werner F, who had previously worked with Paul Westerberg, Bob Mould, Hall & Oates, Cactus and many others. The two worked together as a production team, and built The Boiler Room Studio in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. After the success of The Stills’ 2003 debut album Logic Will Break Your Heart, they co-produced and mixed many albums, helping to create a strong link between the music scenes of New York, Toronto and Montreal. He now divides his time between his Brooklyn and Montreal studios.
