Rose Chronicles was a Canadian alternative rock band in the 1990s. The band, from Vancouver, consisted of vocalist Kristy Thirsk, guitarist Richard Maranda, bassist Judd Cochrane and drummer Steve van der Woerd.〔"You're not supposed to win: Rose Chronicles enjoying sweet smell of Junos". ''The Province'', April 9, 1995.〕 Their musical style merged elements of the shoegazing scene — they cited Curve as one of their key influences — with ethereal dream pop vocals in the style of Sarah McLachlan and the Cocteau Twins. ==Career== The band was first formed in 1992 by Maranda, Hand, and Van Der Woerd, with Thirsk and Cochrane joining soon afterward after responding to a classified advertisement in ''The Georgia Straight''.〔 By the end of the year, they had signed to Nettwerk after only their third live show.〔 The band released their debut EP, ''Dead and Gone to Heaven'', in 1993.〔"A smashing affair". ''The Province'', October 8, 1993.〕 Their debut full-length album, ''Shiver'', was released in 1994, and scored a significant modern rock hit with "Awaiting Eternity". The band toured Canada as a supporting act for Toad the Wet Sprocket and Jesus Jones,〔"Look". ''Victoria Times-Colonist'', February 17, 1994.〕 as a headlining act with openers Acid Test〔 and Treble Charger,〔"Distinctive young pop band won't give up independence". ''Ottawa Citizen'', April 14, 1994.〕 and at some Canadian dates on the Lollapalooza festival circuit.〔"At long last, Lollapalooza!". ''The Gazette'', June 11, 1994.〕 ''Shiver'' went on to win a Juno Award in 1995 for Best Alternative Album.〔 Thirsk subsequently contributed vocals to tracks on several of Delerium's albums from ''Semantic Spaces'' (1994) onwards.〔"Pop-rocker Kristy Thirsk launches first solo album". ''The Province'', March 11, 2004.〕 In 1996, Cochrane and van der Woerd had finished the followup to ''Shiver'', but left the band amidst infighting and uncertainty about Nettwerk's intentions for the band. Maranda and Thirsk regrouped with drummer Trevor Grant and bassist Howard Redekopp to complete one new song, which was added to the forthcoming album. The follow-up album ''Happily Ever After'' was released in 1996, but Thirsk and Maranda's partnership had dissolved prior to its release. The break-up announcement came after the album's release. The single "Voice in Jail" was moderately successful. Their song "Dwelling", from ''Shiver'', was included in the soundtrack to the 1996 film ''Foxfire''.〔"From stem to Stern, it's a who's-who of hard rock". ''The Province'', March 13, 1997.〕 Thirsk went on to release her debut album as a solo artist, ''Souvenir'', in 2004.〔 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「Rose Chronicles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
