Those Moffatts are 22 today

I had never heard of them until I saw it was their birthday (the triplets). Very interesting story. Were they marketed as a religous group or semi-religous like the Osmonds?

Moffatts sounds like a play on a dirty word.

The Moffatts were a four brother band composed of Scott, Clint, Bob and Dave Moffatt. Eldest brother Scott was born on March 30, 1983 in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Less than a year later, the family moved south to Vancouver where, on March 8, 1984, triplets Bob, Clint and Dave were born. Although born on the same date, Bob and Clint are identical twins while Dave is a fraternal triplet.

Break-up
In October 2001, the group broke up. This happened after a year of exhaustive touring for the Submodalities release and coincided with Dave Moffatt's coming out of the closet to his family. Dave left home and reported that he did not speak to his father-manager for over a year.

I actually saw them play at a local music festival. I didn't like them (that was my only exposure to them), but they swore a lot on stage for a band that was marketed as a teeny-bopper pop band, so that was kind of amusing. Meh, at least they played their own instruments.
