The band, from Vancouver , consisted of vocalist Kristy Thirsk , guitar ist Richard Maranda, bass guitar|bassist Judd Cochrane and drum mer Steve van der Woerd.
Career
Their musical style merged elements of the shoegazing scene with ethereal vocals in the style of Sarah McLachlan and the Cocteau Twins .
The band released their debut extended play|EP , Dead And Gone To Heaven , in 1993, scoring a significant chart hit with "Awaiting Eternity". Their debut full-length album, Shiver (Rose Chronicles 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 followup album Happily Ever After (Rose Chronicles 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.
