Am crushed to hear about this. Film music fans may know The Roches from their contributions to the Crossing Delancey soundtrack, in which sister Suzzy also had an acting role.

I've been off-line all day, so to boot up tonight and discover this shocking, sad news is ... well, shocking, and sad. Through mutual friends, the Roches and I have crossed paths a fews times over the years. I'll be grateful that their records, music videos and soundtrack contributions will survive, but I'll miss being able to see and hear them performing on stage. Alas, they never did record their a capella rendition of "By the Waters of Babylon," but I'll always remember how beautiful it was the one time I heard it.

Thanks for posting this.

Peace,

PNJ

I only had a chance to see them once in concert but it was a memorable experience because I was writing for the campus newspaper at the time and was able to do a phone interview and then hang out with them after the concert. The concert was in an intimate bar and performance space in the student union that seated about a hundred and fifty people (a perfect venue for their kind of music) and we were in the first row right next to the stage.

I remember having that ultra-short Crossing Delancey soundtrack years ago because I was curious about Paul Chihara's score.

I ultimately sold it.

Wow. How does it feel to have blood on your hands?

They were my favorite musical group throughout my twenties and saw them twice in concert. Maggie was a jewel. For a taste of her utterly unique talent at its purest, check out her early collaboration with sister Terre called "Seductive Reasoning," made just before Suzzy joined them for the first Roches album. Maggie wrote all the songs and plays a lot more piano on it than she did in later years, and the voice is utterly unique. She was one of a kind and I miss her already.

I don't know. You tell me.
