[edit] Biography

Sometime in the mid-1990s, the Godfrey brothers (DJ Paul Godfrey and multi-instrumentalist Ross Godfrey) recruited Skye Edwards as vocalist, during a chance meeting at a party in which both brothers were introduced to Skye. This led to formation of Morcheeba. The band's name means "the way of marijuana."[citation needed]

Five albums later in 2003, Edwards parted ways with Morcheeba.

In 2005 they recorded another album, The Antidote, and recruited Daisy Martey (formerly of the band Noonday Underground) to replace Edwards on vocals. Martey left the band soon after. Later, the Godfrey brothers replaced Martey with another singer - Jody Sternberg - for their live performances, but their tour in support of Dive Deep was with French singer, Manda, on lead vocals.

Their latest studio album Dive Deep was released in February 2008 in Europe and the UK. This album, produced by Paul and Ross Godfrey, featured several guest vocalists including Judie Tzuke, Thomas Dybdahl, Cool Calm Pete, and Manda.
