DESCRIPTION: The foundation of what would become MAUSOLEUM started in the mid 2000's when singer/ bassist Richard Forbes and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Joseph Elaschuk met at an abandoned brick factory in Toronto. "This place was a haven for young misfits, with slim police surveillance, mass attendance and light arson. I met some of my closest friends at The Brickworks!" recalls Rich. A few years later they found themselves living together in what would be known on the streets as 'rat house'. With little interference from the slumlords and junkie neighbors, the two would stay up all night making obscure noise and throwing the occasional rave.
