Parachute Club was a Canadian band formed in Toronto in 1983.
The band consisted of Lorraine Segato on vocals and guitar, Lauri Conger on keyboards and vocals, Billy Bryans on drums, Margo Davidson on saxophone and vocals, Julie Masi on percussion and vocals, Steve Webster on bass and Dave Gray on guitar. Their first album was produced by Daniel Lanois. The song "Rise Up" from that album won a Canadian Juno Award for Single of the Year.
Steve Webster left to perform with Billy Idol and Keir Brownstone replaced Webster on their second album At the Feet of the Moon in 1985. They received a Juno Award for Group of the Year the same year.
In 1986, they released their third album Small Victories. The album included the song "Love is Fire" featuring Segato singing a duet with John Oates of Hall & Oates. Oates also produced the album.
The band members went their separate ways in 1989.
On May 14, 2005, the band are scheduled to perform a reunion show in Toronto, co-headlining with Martha and the Muffins.
