History


Eric's Trip formed in 1990 when musicians Rick White (musician)|Rick White and Chris Thompson (Canadian musician)|Chris Thompson of The Forest (band)|The Forest joined Julie Doiron and Ed Vaughan (who was later replaced by Mark Gaudet of Purple Knight ). They took their name from a Sonic Youth songcite web|url= http://throwawaystyle.blogspot.com/2006/08/what-ride.html |title=Throwaway Style: What A Ride& #33; |publisher=Throwawaystyle.blogspot.com |date=2006-08-13 |accessdate=2012-04-02 and emulated the distorted guitar of Dinosaur Jr. , the folk leanings of Neil Young , and the lo-fi aesthetic of Sebadoh . Rick White described their sound as "sappy melodic pop music on top of thick distortion." Gaudet's description was more succinct: "dreamy punk".Citation needed|date=April 2010

Julie Doiron currently has a successful solo career; in 1999, she recorded an album Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars with the Ottawa band Wooden Stars which won a Juno award for best album of the year, http://www.junoawards.ca/archive_results.php dead link|date=April 2012 and from 2003 to 2007 she performed with Shotgun & Jaybird . Rick White and Mark Gaudet play in Elevator (band)|Elevator , and White has also released three solo albums under the name Rick White Album, The Rick White Album , Memoreaper and 137 (Rick White Album album)|137 . Chris Thompson enjoyed some fame as Moon Socket , and currently plays in The Memories Attack with Ron Bates of Moncton band Orange Glass .

White produced Doiron's solo albums Woke Myself Up (2007) and I Can Wonder What You Did with Your Day (2009). Woke Myself Up features three tracks on which the entire Eric's Trip lineup contributed to the recording, their first studio collaboration since the band's 1996 breakup, while I Can Wonder has been described by critics as directly revisiting the sound and style of Eric's Trip for the first time in Doiron's solo career.
