Heloise and the Savoir Faire

Heloise and the Savoir Faire are an American punk outfit based in Brooklyn, New York, United States. Fronted by Heloise Williams (ex-viperHouse songwriter, and lead vocalist), the band's live lineup was originally composed of Williams singing over a pre-recorded track and was accompanied by the dance stylings of Joe "Juge" Shepard and Sara Sweet Rabidoux. 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. Guest performers have included Pamela Jintana Racine of Gogol Bordello and Tracy Murphy of Opti-Grab
