Eric's Trip So Happy Together

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) September 17, 2007 2:30 pm
Seminal or otherwise, there's no denying that Eric's Trip were nothing if not unique during the modern rock "salad days" of the early '90s. The band offered a seasonal blend of grunge and psychedelia and used the relationship of band bedfellows Rick White and Julie Doiron as a conduit to tell a tale of sordid Maritimes angst. Eric's...

One Scene To Another Compilation

in
By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) April 5, 2005 9:46 am
A compilation featuring 16 Motor City bands re-interpreting Canadian indie classics, One Scene To Another is decidedly listless for a project supposedly driven by fan-like enthusiasm. Tiny Steps takes a spirited shot at The Super Friendz’s "10 Lbs" and Mood Elevator channels the rave-up energy of Sloan’s "Money City Maniacs"...

Julie Doiron Doing Three Things At Once This Month

in
By Shannon Webb-Campbell (CHARTattack) September 10, 2007 6:00 pm
"Eric's Trip" from Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation opens with the line "I hate the past." Nothing could be further from the truth for Eric's Trip, New Brunswick's nostalgic, scrappy, early '90s experimental outfit named after the Youth song. Over the years, group principals Julie Doiron and Rick White have formed other bands...

40. SIANSPHERIC Somnium (Sonic Unyon) 1995 Like a velvet glove dipped in iron, they knew exactly when to punch and when to stroke. Armed with a sinewy intellect and their own brand of gaseous post-rock prescience, they burned a path through the sonic stratosphere. The waves of gentle turbulence and ethereal beauty are still as hypnotic and...

Elevator To Hell: The Soapy Saga Of Eric's Trip And Elevator To Hell

in
By Chris Murphy (CHARTattack) March 1, 1998 1:01 pm
The best bands have a story to tell. If Elevator To Hell's story were a movie then it would be a sequel. The first "movie" was called Eric's Trip. Perhaps this is oversimplifying, but it's as if Eric's Trip was the story of a "family" that goes through a divorce, while ETH is the story of a divorced family in remarriage. Eric's Trip was very much...
