After a string of bad luck, My Sister's Machine split up in 1994. Just a couple months after releasing the album, Elektra Entertainment folded the Chameleon division dropping all bands that were signed leaving the album and band unpromoted. They toured the United States with King's X. In 1993, they moved to Chameleon a division of Elektra Entertainment and released Wallflower in 1993. They also co-headlined a tour with Pantera. They did in-studio interviews on Headbangers Ball promoting their video on MTV for their single, I'm Sorry. They toured the United States and Europe. Over the next year they did a tour with Pantera and White Zombie. The band later thanked Friend for his support in the liner notes of their next album Wallflower. He also wore their shirt for two weeks on the show. Still, Lonn Friend (editor of the heavy metal/rock music magazine RIP) who did a weekly segment called "Friend at Large" on Headbangers Ball on MTV, talked about how much he loved Diva. Steve Kurutz of AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars, calling it "a surprisingly strong record." Mike Boehm of Los Angeles Times opined, " Diva moves at a more rapid gait than either Alice in Chains or Soundgarden, and it dispenses with the leaden grunge that characterized the Seattle sound until a year or so ago (recent efforts out of the city, including, 'Diva,' tend to be far more melodic and better written)." Jim Washburn (also of Los Angeles Times) described the band as "more melodic and propulsive than its Seattle soul mates Alice in Chains" when discussing the album, but was far less enthused when he saw them onstage, writing "those qualities flattened out into a lank-haired generic grunge that prompted much of the audience to exit long before the hourlong show had concluded." In 1992, they released their debut album, Diva to much critical acclaim. They continued to garner much interest from the major record labels but ultimately chose to sign with a smaller label Caroline Records. In 1991, My Sister's Machine received the "Best New Group" award from the Northwest Music Association. Since none of the other members had ever been a lead singer, Pollock got the job by default as he was also their primary lyricist. Formation, Diva, and Wallflower (1989–1994) Īfter the demise of their previous bands, Pollock joined Wright and Gohde to form My Sister's Machine along with bassist Chris Ivanovich. The band recorded two demos and toured throughout the Seattle area for roughly one year before they broke up on friendly terms in 1987. Meanwhile, Nick Pollock played guitar in a glam metal band called Alice N' Chains, a precursor to Alice in Chains that also included Layne Staley on vocals. This band did an extensive amount of touring before they broke up in 1988. They recorded one album called Spin the World, which was released on CD in 2009 by Heart of Steel Records.
