  • Bio

    Born in Grangemouth, Scotland UK on August 29th 1963 Liz is the vocalist and lyricist in Cocteau Twins, and co-founded the group in Scotland in 1981 with her long-time companion Robin Guthrie and their friend Will Heggie. Her unique vocal stylings and mysterious, indecipherable lyrics have generated much debate over the years, but she has often been taciturn on the matter when asked about it. Robin Guthrie, Will Heggie and Elizabeth Fraser, the Cocteau Twins have always been a threesome. In 1983, Will Heggie departed the band and, in 1984, Simon Raymonde joined Robin and Liz. This lineup would be the de-facto Cocteau Twins until their breakup in 1998. Robin is a co-founder of Cocteau Twins, and is one of the principal songwriters and musicians. Robin's unique style of guitar-playing and songwriting—not to mention his deft production skills in the recording studio—have earned him the respect of musicians throughout the world. Simon, along with Robin, is a principal songwriter and musician in Cocteau Twins. Having joined Liz and Robin in 1984, Simon has helped shape the signature "Cocteau sound" since then—primarily with bass, guitar, and piano. Simon was the first of the trio to release a solo work, entitled Blame Someone Else, in 1997, which was widely praised by critics and fans alike. The Cocteau Twins quietly disbanded while working on an uncompleted follow-up; the posthumous BBC Sessions appeared in 1999. In January 2005 Cocteau Twins Reunite!. Reports are that they will play a one off concert at this years Coachella Valley Festival. They are set to perform on the opening day of the festival, 30th April 2005. No new material will be played, and there is no news of any new material to be released. This has all been confirmed by Robin Guthrie. In June 2006 Both Milk & Kisses and Four Calendar Cafe have been remastered by Robin Guthrie, released by Universal Records. Some hidden gems of Liz's vocals can now be more clearly heard. In 2008, having never won any awards in their 16 years together, Cocteau Twins were honored at this year's Q Magazine Awards in the category "Inspiration." All three former band members were on-hand to accept the award and Robin, Liz and Simon each offered a few words of thanks. .......... .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....
