Judith

Judith (Band)

Christopher David gained notoriety with Requiem in White in the early 1990s, making him one of goth rock's rising stars around his native New York City. In 1995, he joined up with guitarist Mark Wagner, bass player Damian James and drummer Brian Veit for a new project, a darkwave experimental group they called Judith. They made their debut that April at a CBGB annual event, Night of Misanthropy, and Judith's first album Föhn was out by December. Since goth rock was still cult and fan-based throughout America, Judith challenged European audiences. Judith's infectious post-punk sound of lush choruses, heavy bass lines, and worldbeat percussion was strikingly similar to the likes of Die Krupps and Rosetta Stone. A deal with Neue Aesthetik was set by 1998 and Judith released their 2nd record La Reveuse. Monica Richards and William Faith of Faith & the Muse invited Judith to play the Blackout A.D. tour in 1999; this was Judith's first major tour of North America and dates in the U.K. and Germany followed the next summer. Having spent the latter '90s on the road and recording, David, Wagner, James, and Veit took a well-deserved break before writing for a third album. Play of Light which was released in the fall of 2001.

The band has since been featured on numerous American and European gothic rock compilation albums.
