Yes, Terre Roche is one of The Roches.  Fripp produced The Roches first
two releases, "The Roches" and "Keep on Doing".  They are a funny, goofy
folk group from New York that started on acoustic guitars but now one of
them plays keyboard, another electric guitar and the third only sings. 
Two of them sang as a backup group to Paul Simon in the early 70's.  The
non-Fripp-produced releases are much more "pop" sounding -- they have
schlocky keyboards, electric guitars and drums, all things which don't
appear in force when they tour live and make most of the music sound
dorky.  They are very awesome live.  Their latest CD "Speak" is really
good.
