Rosie and the Goldbug are a British indie-rock trio.〔Lester, Paul (2008-06-10). ("No 330: Rosie and the Goldbug. Today's new band are a techno-ish, keyboard-enhanced trio whose music is a (Transvision) vamp through the Blondie catalogue" ), ''The Guardian''〕 ==History== The band are from Cornwall, UK.〔McKeown, Rory (2008-03-27). (Electro-pop Goldbugs set for Bar 27 ), ''Bridgwater Mercury''〕 They formed in 2007, after lead singer and keyboard player Rosie Vanier had completed her music studies at Roehampton University and returned home, eager to form a band.〔〔〔Meikle, Ash (2009-02-06). (Track of the Day – Rosie & the Goldbug ), ''Q Magazine''〕 The "Goldbug" in the name refers to a story by Edgar Allan Poe.〔 According to ''The Guardian'', Vanier grew up in Bodmin Moor "on a plot of land with no electricity, no heat, no TV, just a piano."〔 Her mother and part-Native American father used to go on cycle tours in Europe, playing folk ballads along the way to entertain passers-by.〔 The bass player and guitarist, Lee "Pixie" Matthews, is the "son of hippie-surfer parents who spent his childhood in a beachside caravan."〔 The drummer, Sarah "Plums" Morgan, had previously played with a Japanese drumming ensemble.〔 Matthews and Morgan knew each other from being university students in Exmouth; and had played in a band together before joining Vanier.〔〔 Rosie and the Goldbug have built up a reputation as a live band in Cornwall and started to attract wider attention.〔Staff (2008-05-30). (Rosie and the Goldbug ), ''BBC'' Cornwall〕 They toured Europe with Cyndi Lauper for most of 2008.〔Staff. (Rosie and the Goldbug ), ''culturedeluxe''〕〔Staff (2009-02-09). (New Rosie single ), interview on ''BBC'' Cornwall〕 The band released their music on their manager's label, Lover Records. They said that going it alone was an easy decision to make; according to the ''BBC'', they wanted "to make it purely on talent alone and stay true to their roots" and were hoping that without relying on the support of a major label, people would be "more honest and raw about them."〔 They entered into writing partnerships with Marcella Detroit and Glaswegian band El Presidente on some of the tracks of their debut album.〔 Their first EP and album were produced by Jim Eliot of electropop duo Kish Mauve.〔 Despite positive response from the music press, a management dispute temporarily derailed the project.〔()〕 and on 14 August 2009, the band announced via their MySpace site that "Rosie and the Goldbug are over". The band members voiced regret, but did not go into any detail as to what had caused their decision.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thank you for the last two years xx )〕 The band had planned to record a second album in the U.S., with new management.〔 Vanier subsequently embarked on a solo project; she completed a debut solo EP in November 2010.〔Staff (2010-11-04). (Rosie Vanier finishes debut solo EP ), DIY〕 Vanier and bassist Lee "Pixie" Matthews continued to work with each other, touring (with guitarist Rich Searby and drummer Joseph "Bubs" Taylor) as "Rosie and the Vandals" in 2013 and releasing the ''Bad in Love'' EP as a trio with Taylor in 2014, under the band name Lightknife.〔Cornish Guardian (10 July 2014). ("Surely EP signifies it's finally Rosie's time?" ), ''The Cornishman''. Retrieved 19 October 2014.〕 Vanier subsequently stated despite the changing name, the Rosie and The Goldbug project was never completely abandoned. She told West Briton, "They were all Rosie and the Goldbug in disguise. I definitely felt like a suppressed artist for a while."〔 After signing a new deal with Public Records towards the end of 2014, a renewed Rosie and Goldbug - now consisting of Vanier, Matthews on bass and Taylor on drums - are once again recording and releasing new music. Single 'Running In The Dark', recorded at The Cube studio near Truro and produced by Gareth Young, is due for release on 4 May 2015. Further singles and an EP are planned for later in 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rosie and the Goldbug」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
