NYC's electro-erotic mutant-disco diva
Heloise comes with her own two-member 1980s-MTV dance squad. Don't tell anyone, but the backup duo are actually members of the painfully sexy Somerville modern-dance group Hoi Polloi. Did we say painfully sexy? Maybe dangerously sexy: of late, they're so sexy they've needed to acquire their own secret-service protection. Or, as Heloise's press agent puts it oh-so-modestly, "Heloise and the Savoir Faire blend ‘the now’ and ‘the then’ into this third indescribable thing that bristles and bucks and makes you want to rip your clothes off." Yes, that's about it. Tonight they're at the Middle East, 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge.
