Биография "This Ascension"
<< Вернуться к списку всех песен "This Ascension"
This Ascension is a gothic/ethereal band from Southern California that formed in 1988. They have released four albums on their own label Tess Records from 1989 to 1999 to major acclaim and growing popularity.
This Ascension toured the United States three times and the west coast prolifically, sharing the stage with bands including Clan of Xymox, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Chris Isaak, The Wolfgang Press and Pixies.
After Tess Records collapsed, the band signed to Projekt Records in 2001. Their back catalogue was re-released and the band split soon afterwards. The group re-formed with bassist Cindy Coulter for a few shows in 2004 and are currently making plans to write and record new material in 2011.
Vocalist Dru has gone on to sing for the neo-classical project Mirabilis as well as ethereal/electronic act Falling You. Former Bassist Charlie re-joined his former band Nerf Herder and guitarist Kevin Serra runs the music review site Kevchino.
Former (and now current) bassist Cindy Coulter went on to become the touring bassist for Faith & the Muse from 1999 — 2007. This Ascension’s cover of the song «Carol Of The Bells» was featured on ABC TV show Brothers and Sisters episode «Cold Turkey» which aired on December 12, 2010.
