Eric’s Trip

Something of the same Eastern Canada indie rock community which also gave rise towards the outstanding Jale and Sloan, the noise-pop quartet Eric’s Trip shaped in Moncton, New Brunswick in 1990. The group, which required their name from a Sonic Youngsters song, brought collectively several longtime veterans from the Moncton picture: drummer Tag Gaudet 1st surfaced within the middle-1970s as an associate of Crimson Knight and later on performed using the Whoremoans no Description, while vocalist/guitarist Rick White colored and guitarist Chris Thompson debuted in 1984 as users of, respectively, Bloodstain and Dang. In 1989 White colored and Thompson teamed within the Forest, which recruited vocalist/bassist Julie Doiron-Claytor the next 12 months; when Gaudet became a member of some months later on, Eric’s Trip was created. The music group debuted having a self-titled 1990 cassette; using the floodgates duly opened up, a massive quantity of materials followed, stretching over the 1991 tapes Caterpillars and Drowning, the 1992 EPs Warm Woman and Belong, and 1993’s Peter. After getting the very first Canadian designer authorized to Sub Pop, Eric’s Trip released the EP Tunes About Chris, accompanied by Julie as well as the Porthole to Dimentia (documented for the small Sappy label), before finally shutting out 1993 making use of their full-length Sub Pop debut Like Tara. After 1994’s Gordon Road Haunting EP as well as the Forever Once again LP, Doiron-Claytor’s being pregnant pressured the group right into a hiatus; pursuing 1996’s Crimson Blue, Eric’s Trip announced their separation. White quickly resurfaced in Elevator to Hell, while Doiron-Claytor continuing performing beneath the name Broken Woman; Gaudet became a member of the reformed Crimson Knight, and Thompson made an appearance in Moonsocket.
