[net.music] The Roches

tugs (04/02/83)

The little I know is this. They are sisters (obviously) who began in the
Greenwich Village folkie-type scene. Maggie and Terre released an album
as a duo before Suzzy joined up with them - I've been searchng used record
stores for it. If you want to hear Terre Roche doing some decidedly
different singing, try and pick up the album "Exposure" by Robert Fripp.
It's in the delete bins - and it also has Pete Hamill, Darryl Hall (!)
and Peter Gabriel on it...

The Roches also have a brother who's now performing, though independently
of his sisters.

There has been some discussion as to whether or not the
a cappella version of Hallelujah Chorus sung by the Roches
(not Roaches, but pronounced the same) was recorded on any
of their albums.  It is on their album "Keep On Doing" released
in late 1982.  I hope this helps the person who originally
inquired about it!!
