Rose Chronicles
Rose Chronicles was an alternative rock band from Vancouver, Canada, active in the 1990s. The group consisted of vocalist Kristy Thirsk, guitarist Richard Maranda, bassist Judd Cochrane and drummer Steve van der Woerd.
Their musical style merged elements of the shoegaze scene with ethereal vocals in the style of Sarah McLachlan and the Cocteau Twins.
The band released their debut EP, "Dead and Gone to Heaven", in 1993, scoring a significant chart hit with "Awaiting Eternity". Their debut full-length album, "Shiver", was released in 1994 under the Nettwerk label. "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.
In 1996, founding members Judd Cochrane and Steve van der Woerd had finished the followup to "Shiver", but left the band amidst a hailstorm of in-fighting and uncertainty with Nettwerk's intentions. 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. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
