 In the summer of 2004, Heloise began experimenting with a backup band on a few songs.The original three band members were James Bellizia (stunt guitar, member of Pooloop and Sweet Ass Pussy), Jason Cooley (bass, member of Burlington-based Led Loco and James Kochalka Superstar) and Luke Hughett (drums, x Qatsi and the Shipwreckers).The current lineup features Rob O'Dea on bass and electronics.
