Skindive are an Irish Electro/rock band formed in the late 1990s in Dublin. The band incorporates electronic sounds into often harsh and atmospheric music and comparisons are often drawn to the band Garbage because of the juxtaposition of heavily distorted guitars and clean female vocals. ==Formation== ''Skindive'' was formed in 1999 by Gerry Owens. Owens had previously been living in London playing with a series of groups which met with little or no success. Once returning to Dublin, Owens began working on writing his own music which eventually formed into the creation of the band.() Owens found his bassist (Alan Lee) and drummer (Ger Farrell) during the first four months of recruiting but found it tougher to pick the right voice to go with his music and lyrics. After lots of auditioning, Owens got a recommendation to try out Danielle Harrison who was living in Los Angeles at the time. Inevitably, Danielle was the voice Owens was searching for and she moved to Dublin to join them. Gerry Owens said on creating the band: ''"I've been in several bands at this stage, and they all implode because of the personalities involved. It was very important to me to think in the long-term for Skindive. It took a long time to put the right people together"''() Over the next year, the newly formed ''Skindive'', would play gigs in and around Dublin and perfect their stage performance. During this time, the band journeyed to America in pursuit of a record deal with Chris Blackwell's Palm Records. After Blackwell had heard the band's demo, he traveled to Ireland to watch them in concert. He immediately signed the band to Palm Records and they began working on recording their first album entitled ''Skindive''.()() 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「Skindive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
