節錄自wiki 網主親自亂咁翻譯，若文法、意思譯錯或詞句不通，請多多包涵 Rice was originally in the band Juniper, a rock band which released the singles "The World Is Dead" and "Weatherman". On the eve of recording their first full album for Polygram in 1999, Rice became disenchanted with the commercial label and quit. His Juniper band mates became Bell X1. He moved to rural Italy where he played acoustic guitar, wrote songs, and busked around Europe until he was able to form a band and get coffee shop gigs in the Dublin area. Exploiting a lucky connection to David Arnold, his second cousin, Rice was able to record O, for which he won the Shortlist Music Prize in 2003. The members of his band are cellist Vyvienne Long; percussionist Tom Osander (aka Tomo), a member of the 1990s jam band God Street Wine; and bassist Shane Fitzsimons. Rice recently decided that his professional relationship with Lisa Hannigan, who performed vocals and occasionally the guitar and bass, "has run its creative course." As a result, Hannigan will not be appearing at any of his upcoming live shows. She is embarking on her own artistic endeavours and there are no plans for them to work together in the foreseeable future." Rice 在起初的搖滾樂隊Juniper，曾發表過單曲《The World Is Dead》和《Weatherman》。 在錄製樂隊的第一張唱片《Polygram》(1999) 前，因為Rice 對商業標籤感到不滿意而退出。而Juniper 樂隊的其他成員組成了Bell X1。 之後Rice 搬到意大利的農村，他在那裡演奏acoustic guitar、創作音樂，並在歐洲到處賣藝，直到他能組樂隊，和在都柏林接到一些咖啡館的演出。 他利用與他堂兄弟David Arnold的巧合的關係，Rice 能錄製那張贏得2003 年Shortlist Music Prize 的唱片《O》。 他的樂隊的成員，包括大提琴演奏者Vyvienne Long、打擊樂器演奏者Tom Osander (又稱Tomo)、一位90 年代jam band 成員God Street Wine、低音樂器演奏者Shane Fitzsimons， 以及負責演唱、偶爾負責吉他和低音樂器的Lisa Hannigan。 Rice recorded an old Juniper track, "Crosseyed Bear" (originally titled "Jewellery Box"), for the new War Child album. He spent 2004 and 2005 recording the follow-up to O. His latest album, 9, was released on November 3 in Ireland, 2006, on November 6, 2006 in Europe and the rest of the world, except for North America, where it was released on November 14, 2006. Rice's songs have been featured several times on popular films and television shows. "The Blower's Daughter" and "Cold Water" featured prominently in the 2004 film Closer. "Cold Water" was also featured in the 2003 film I am David, the HBO film The Girl in the Cafe, and on the NBC dramas ER and The Black Donnellys. "Cannonball" also featured in The Black Donnellys and the 2004 film In Good Company. "Delicate" was featured on the ABC dramas Alias, Lost, and the Fox drama House. "Older Chests" was featured on the NBC drama Crossing Jordan and in CBS science-fiction drama Jericho. His song "9 Crimes" was featured during the episode "From a Whisper to a Scream" on the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy. "Grey Room" was featured on One Tree Hill, in an episode of Criminal Minds, and on an episode of House. Most recently, "The Blower's Daughter" could be heard in the Fox criminal drama Bones and segments of his single 9 Crimes were featured in the major motion picture Shrek the Third. Rice 的音樂經常被一些受歡迎的電影和電視節目所使用。 在電影《Closer 誘心人》(2004) 當中，歌曲"The Blower's Daughter" 和"Cold Water" 擔當著重要的角色。 "Cold Water" 亦出現在多部電影之中，包括《I Am David》(2003)、HBO的電影《The Girl in the Cafe》，以及NBC 電視台的劇集《ER》和《The Black Donnellys》。 "Cannonball" 出現在《The Black Donnellys》和《In Good Company》(2004)。 "Delicate" 出現在ABC 電視台的劇集《Alias》、《Lost》以及Fox 電視台的劇集《House》。 "Older Chests" 出現在NBC 電視台的《Crossing Jordan》和的CBS 科幻小說劇集《Jericho》。 "9 Crimes" 出現在ABC 電視台的醫術劇集《Grey's Anatomy》的一季《From a Whisper to a Scream》 。 "Grey Room" 出現在劇集《One Tree Hill》的一季《Criminal Minds》和在《House》其中一季之中。 而最近，"The Blower's Daughter" 出在Fox 電視台的犯罪劇集《Bones》， 而"9 Crimes" 則出現在大電影《Shrek the Third》入面。 In recent years, with the increase of digital cameras and mobile phone cameras, Rice has stopped mid-song to ask the audience members to simply watch the concert rather than record it. At a gig in Toronto in 2006, he changed the lyrics of his song, "I Remember" from "I remember it well, taxied out of a storm, to watch you perform, and my ships were sailing" to "I remember it well, when we used to watch concerts, not through a camera, please turn them off please". 在近年，由於數碼相機和流動電話普及化，所以Rice 在演唱歌曲途中，請求觀眾純粹看演出，聽音樂而不是去紀錄它。 在2006 年，在多倫多的一場演出上，他改變"I Remember" 的歌詞。 Rice recorded a live session at Abbey Road Studios in October 2006 for Live From Abbey Road. HIs performance was screened in an episode alongside those of Jamiroquai and the Goo Goo Dolls. |
