alternative rock band in the 1990s. The band, from Vancouver, consisted of vocalistKristy Thirsk ,guitar ist Richard Maranda, bassist Judd Cochrane anddrum mer Steve van der Woerd.Career
Their musical style merged elements of the
shoegazing scene with ethereal vocals in the style ofSarah McLachlan and theCocteau 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 theNettwerk label. "Shiver" went on to win aJuno Award in 1995 for Best Alternative Album.Thirsk subsequently contributed vocals to the
Delerium album "Semantic Spaces ".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 Redekop to complete one new song, which was added to the forthcoming album. The followup 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.Group Members
