Biography
Glasgow, United Kingdom (2011 – present)
Previously, Mayberry was vocalist for Blue Sky Archives. Cook was a member of Aereogramme and The Unwinding Hours. Doherty was a live member of The Twilight Sad. Mayberry did a four-year law degree, followed by a Masters in journalism. She’s also a trained drummer.
The band started in October 2011 as a studio project between the long time friends Iain Cook and Martin Doherty. Cook already knew Lauren Mayberry from working with her other band and suggested her as a potential vocalist for the project.
CHVRCHES were influenced by acts such as Prince, Tubeway Army, Robyn, Depeche Mode, Kate Bush, and Laurie Anderson. The band write, record, mix and master everything in a basement studio in Glasgow.
In 2012, they released the singles “Lies” and “The Mother We Share”. In the same year, CHVRCHES toured with Passion Pit, as the opening band for their concerts and also toured on their own.
“Lies” ranked at number 28 on NME’s Best Tracks of 2012. They also came fifth on the BBC’s Sound of 2013 list.
In March 2013, they released Recover EP.

Blue Sky Archives (Mayberry's old band) are brilliant. Love how a synth pop group has come out of the Glasgow post rock scene. I hope Mogwai do a synth pop side project with Aidan Moffot on vocals
