Heloise and the Savoir Faire + Bright Light Bright Light + Audra Isadora

Local electropop dynamo Heloise has a soul diva's voice and a sassy tongue in her cheek. She and her band step out behind last year's rousing Diamond Dust, with help from Welsh singer-songwriter Rod Thomas (a.k.a. Bright Light Bright Light), who combines devastating lyrics and mournful melodies with euphoric dance-floor beats.
