The mix of Lauren Mayberry’s crystalline\, emotive vocals and the sweeping synths of Iain Cook and Martin Doherty on 2013's bittersweet yet anthemic debut a lbum The Bones of What You Believe bridged the gap between the classic syn th pop of Depeche Mode and New Order and the brash\, EDM-influenced so unds of the early 2010s\, influencing countless contemporaries along the w ay. Later\, Chvrches brought an extra sheen to their music without sacrifi cing any of its depth. They went all in on their pop leanings on 2018's Lo ve Is Dead\, where their collaborators ranged from pop producer Greg Kurs tin to the National's Matt Berninger. On 2021's Screen Violence\, Chvrch es sharpened the edges and hooks of their songs as they reaffirmed their p lace as synth pop standard-bearers.\nBefore Chvrches formed\, keyboardist/ vocalist Iain Cook and keyboardist/vocalist Martin Doherty became friends in 2003 while studying at Glasgow's University of Strathclyde. The pair fo rged their musical partnership when Doherty asked Cook to produce his band Julia Thirteen. Though little came of the sessions\, they continued to wo rk together\, and became members of the band Aereogramme. By 2007\, they had left that group\, with Doherty joining the Twilight Sad as a touring member and Cook becoming a composer for film and television. Seeking a ch ange from alternative rock\, they founded their own experimental synth pro ject. In September 2011\, the pair invited vocalist Lauren Mayberry\, who' d previously played with the band Blue Sky Archives and holds a law degree as well as a Master's degree in journalism\, to sing on some demos. The s essions went so well that the trio christened itself Chvrches -- spelling it with a "v" instead of a "u" to differentiate themselves in internet sea rches -- and began writing songs inspired by Prince\, Depeche Mode\, and  Kate Bush.\nIn May 2012\, Chvrches posted their first song "Lies" online . It quickly became a viral hit and received airplay on BBC Radio 1. The b and’s official debut single\, "The Mother We Share\," appeared in Novemb er 2012 and was also an online hit. Late that year\, Chvrches were among t he acts selected for the BBC's Sound of 2013\, ultimately finishing fifth. In January 2013\, the band signed with Glassnote and soon embarked on a n international tour that included a performance at that year's South by S outhwest Festival in Austin\, Texas. That March saw the release of the Rec over EP\, and Chvrches' debut album The Bones of What You Believe appeared that September. Recorded in Glasgow's Alucard Studio with a handful synth s including a Minimoog Voyager\, the album debuted at number nine on the U .K. albums chart and was later certified gold in the U.K. It also entered the Top 20 on the charts in Canada\, Australia\, and the United States\, a mong other countries. "The Mother We Share" also charted in the U.S.\, Jap an\, Belgium\, and the U.K.\, where it was a Top 40 hit\; in July 2014\, t he song was featured in the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Later in the year\, the band contributed the track "Get Away" to the re-scored soundtrack to Nicolas Winding Refn’s influential 2011 fil m Drive\, and covered Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead" for the movie Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters.\nIn January 2015\, Chvrches began working on new material at Alucard Studios\, which they were able to upgrade thanks to th e success of The Bones of What You Believe. Taking inspiration from Quinc y Jones' lean yet massive-sounding production style\, their second album\, Every Open Eye\, appeared in September 2015. The album debuted at number four in the U.K.\, reached number eight on the Billboard 200 Albums chart in the U.S.\, and also became a Top Ten hit in Australia\, Ireland\, Scotl and\, and New Zealand. Every Open Eye's singles included a version of "Bur y It" that featured Paramore's Hayley Williams.\nIn 2016\, Chvrches perf ormed at Royal Albert Hall for the first time and collaborated with Solar Fields on "Warning Call\," which appeared in the video game Mirror's Edg e Catalyst. The following year\, the band contributed a cover of Tegan an d Sara's "Call It Off" to the tenth anniversary edition of the duo's album The Con\, and went into the studio with producer Greg Kurstin and colla borator Dave Stewart to work on their third album. Boasting a bigger\, m ore straightforward sound than their previous releases\, 2018's Love Is De ad included the singles "Get Out" and "My Enemy\," a duet with the Nation al's Matt Berninger. The album debuted at number seven in the U.K. and top ped Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts in the State s. Late that year\, Chvrches released the Hansa Session EP. Named after th e Berlin studio where it was recorded (and which also hosted David Bowie  and Nick Cave\, among other artists)\, it featured acoustic and string- driven arrangements of several of Love Is Dead songs. In 2019\, the band p erformed with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to commemorate the lau nch of the BBC Scotland television channel\; they appeared on Marshmello' s "Here with Me" and contributed the single "Death Stranding" to the album Death Stranding: Timefall\, a set of songs inspired by the action video g ame of the same name. Early in 2020\, Chvrches started recording album num ber four\, with Doherty and Mayberry in Los Angeles and Cook in Glasgow. F eaturing a darker sound as well as a collaboration with the Cure's Rober t Smith\, Screen Violence appeared in August 2021. ~ Heather Phares\, Rovi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.jointherevolution.net/wp-content/upl oads/2022/03/chvches-1-02.png CATEGORIES:All Ages,Concerts LOCATION:Revolution Live\, 100 SW 3rd Ave.\, Fort Lauderdale\, FL\, 33312\, United States GEO:26.121358;-80.1461974 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=100 SW 3rd Ave.\, Fort Laud erdale\, FL\, 33312\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Revolution Live:geo:26.121358,-80.1461974 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20220313T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
