Mr. Mister was an American
pop rock band most popular in the 1980s. The band's name came from an
inside joke about a
Weather Report album called
Mr. Gone where they referred to each other as "Mister This" or "Mister That", and eventually selected "Mr. Mister." Mr. Mister may be considered as representative of the melodic sound of 1980s
pop rock. The band consisted of
Richard Page on lead vocals and bass guitar,
Steve George on keyboards/backing vocals,
Pat Mastelotto on acoustic and electronic drums/percussion and Steve Farris on guitars/backing vocals. Mr. Mister was the successor to the band
Pages, fronted by Page and George from 1978 to 1981.
