Artist History Heidi began in the mind of singer Jilly B. She was working as a bike messenger around Downtown Boston one day when the name Heidi popped into her head, and she thought it would be a cool name for an all-girl rock band. At the time, Jilly and her friend Lisa P. were playing trumpet and sax for a popular local funk/soul band. Even though they liked playing horns, they knew they had to rock, so when the band broke up, it was time to start Heidi.Lisa already knew how to play drums, so she made Jilly be the singer. They recruited their friend Sandy to play bass. Heidi began playing out and recording using various fill-in guitarists. At a show in August of ‘99, Jilly announced that Heidi was looking for a permanent guitar player. Janet was at that show and was blown away by Heidi’s songs and stage presence. She knew this was the band for her. She got a copy of the 10-song demo recorded in a friend’s basement that Heidi had just released, and asked them if she could join. Heidi played more shows around the Northeast and began recording with Scott Riebling in the Spring of 2000, and has since graced the covers of Soundcheck Magazine, The Boston Phoenix and The Noise. They also had a full-color spread in the Improper Bostonian when a photo-journalist followed Heidi around at a show from start to finish. The highlight of the year was playing the WBCN River Rave at Foxboro Stadium with their friends Darkbuster, Scissorfight, Godsmack, Powerman 5000 and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones!New bassist Susan (ex- 3&1/2 Girls, Box Car Betty) joined in September 2000, and Heidi is psyched to release their EP "Can’t Wait" this Fall!
