One part theatrical pop, one part post-punk revival, New York's electro-rock outfit Heloise & the Savior Faire are fronted by charismatic peroxide-blonde singer Heloise Williams. Ever the showboat, she grew up in a small town in Minnesota with a penchant for performing, starting when she was just a child singing in the mirror while watching Solid Gold episodes. While attending Middlebury College in Vermont, she sang and played flute with an 11-piece jazz band for four years. After school, she moved out to New York City with dancers Joe Shepard and Sara Sweet Rabidoux and big dreams of stardom. Early club gigs involved the three dancing in front of a laptop computer in outrageous costumes, inspired by Peaches, whom Heloise had briefly worked for as a roadie. Over time, she decided to bring in some live musicians and invited her boyfriend, guitarist James Bellizia to join, along with drummer Luke Hughett and bassist Jason Diamond. Ultimately the band's breakthrough success came from a few chance celebrity encounters. Actor Elijah Wood gave them a deal on his up-and-coming record label, Simian Records, boasting the opportunity for complete artistic freedom.

Imagine if new wave went down on glam while being double penetrated by pop and rock. Imagine a front man who was a cross between Prince, Lou Reed and Captain Jack Sparrow. Imagine if every day was a good hair day. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us...at the Unisex Salon. Featuring Spacehog's Royston Langdon and Jonny Cragg.

"Mike Grubbs could speak for each and every one of us when he pulls at our heartstrings with tales of lost love and broken spirits. But he's more than just another poetic, tortured soul. Grubbs' combines some beautifully played piano with a voice so striking it resonates around the room galvanising everybody within earshot - both painful and beautiful in equal measure."
- Joel Crane, NME
