Shudder to Think was an American indie rock group. Formed in 1986, they released three albums on the Washington, D.C.-based label Dischord Records and were a post-hardcore band, although they drew upon a wide range of stylistic influences, including pop. ==History== The band's first lineup was Craig Wedren (vocals and guitar), Chris Matthews (guitar), Stuart Hill (bass) and Mike Russell (drums). In this incarnation, the band released one song on the Fetal Records compilation F-R-5 in1987 ("Too little, too late"), two singles and one album (''Curse, Spells, Voodoo, Mooses'', 1989) before being signed by the Dischord label. Three albums were then released (''Ten-Spot'', 1990, ''Funeral at the Movies'', 1991, and ''Get Your Goat'', 1992), before the band gained greater exposure by touring with Fugazi and the Smashing Pumpkins; with their May 7, 1992 show in Albig, Germany being released by Tobby Holzinger as Your Choice Live Series Vol.21.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shudder to Think : Your Choice Live SEries )〕 Swiz ex-bassist Nathan Larson (guitars) and ex-Jawbox drummer Adam Wade replaced Matthews and Russell in 1992 (while the specific dates for the line up change are unknown, it's certain that Nathan Larson was gigging with the band prior to the release of Get Your Goat; the 1992 Live at Dobbs DVD bootleg has Craig Wedren quoting that Get Your Goat is 'out in May' and Nathan Larson is clearly the guitarist at that time). The band subsequently signed to Epic, with whom ''Pony Express Record'' was released in 1994. The album's angular, mathematical post-modernism earned it a devoted cult following. Over the next few years, Wedren successfully battled Hodgkin's Disease, Larson recorded an album with side project band Mind Science of the Mind, and Wade left the group. He was replaced by Kevin March, formerly drummer with Dambuilders. They released another album, ''50,000 B.C.'', in 1997. The band also worked on music for soundtracks including ''First Love, Last Rites'' and ''High Art''. In 1998, the band wrote and performed two songs for the film ''Velvet Goldmine''. However, 1998 marked Larson's departure and the end of the group. Wedren has pursued a solo career, including an appearance on the ''Down to You'' soundtrack with ''Didn't Mean to Do You Harm'', and contributed backing vocals to Verve Pipe's 1999 eponymous album. Both Larson and Wedren have gone on to create highly regarded music for films. David Wain, founder of comedy troupe ''The State'', was a high-school friend of Wedren's, and Wedren's music has appeared in many television series and films stemming from the troupe and its alumni, such as ''Reno 911'' and ''Wet Hot American Summer''. Wedren also makes solo music, and released his debut album, ''Lapland'', in 2005. Larson has formed a new band called Hot One. 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「Shudder to Think」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
