Jellyfishbabies were an alternative rock band in Canada, active from 1986 to 1993. Although the band never attained mainstream success, they were one of the major influences on the "Halifax Pop Explosion" scene of the early 1990s.〔Michael Barclay, Ian A.D. Jack and Jason Schneider, ''Have Not Been the Same: The Can-Rock Renaissance 1985-1995''. ECW Press. ISBN 978-1-55022-992-9.〕 Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, the band consisted of vocalist Scott Kendall, guitarist Peter Arsenault, bassist Dave Schellenberg and drummer Colleen Britton. The original lineup released an independent self-titled album in 1986, which hit No. 1 on local radio station CKDU-FM just three days after its release.〔(Jellyfishbabies ) at the Canadian Pop Encyclopedia.〕 The band were also prominently featured on ''Out of the Fog'', a 1986 compilation of Halifax-area bands which was also credited with launching the career of Sarah McLachlan.〔("Making a scene" ). ''The Coast'', March 30, 2006.〕 By 1989, the band had decided to move to Toronto in hopes of landing a recording contract.〔 Britton declined to make the move, however, and was replaced by Mike Belitsky. Once in Toronto, the band released the album ''The Unkind Truth About Rome'' in 1990. Their single, "The Erlking", was featured on the ''Highway 61'' soundtrack, and the band recorded a cover of "Call it Democracy" for the Bruce Cockburn tribute album, ''Kick at the Darkness''. They followed up with ''The Swan and the City'' in 1992, although Arsenault had by this time left the band to join the Doughboys. However, the band had limited commercial success, and broke up sometime following ''The Swan and the City''. Sloan named their 2003 album ''Action Pact'' for the Jellyfishbabies song "Youth Action Pact".〔(New record: "Action Pact" ). sloanmusic.com, June 14, 2003. 〕 ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jellyfishbabies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
