The Lost Faculties was formed when we realised that a surprising number of faculty and staff at the University of Waterloo's School of Optometry had experience as musicians and stage performers.

Skit Night, the School's annual “talent showcase”, was a natural venue for a faculty/staff rock band to make its debut performance, and in 2000 The Lost Faculties took the Skit Night by storm.

The high-energy set electrified the audience. The students were surprised and thrilled to see their previously mild-mannered professors suddenly transformed into "rock stars with attitude"! The night was a roaring success and the Lost Faculties haven't looked back since.

Boasting an impressive roster of eight musicians, the impact of a Lost Faculties show comes not only from the “wall of sound” that a large band can produce, but also from the versatility of its individual members.
