After moving from Atlanta to San Diego in 1984, she eventually formed a jazz duo after meeting keyboardist Joey Guevara in a local piano bar. They were joined by Guevara's bandmates from Operator X, Stephen Rey (bass) and Brian Cantrell (drums). Rounding out the band are two guitarists, Isaiah Mitchell and Nathan Beale (of Dirty Sweet), as well as Joey's brother Dan Guevara on horns.
The band won two 2007 San Diego Music Awards, for Best Blues and Best Blues Album, as well as landing Best Blues again in 2008. They earned another Best Blues Album award in September 2009.
As of 2009, they're signed with Hi-Speed Soul Records, a label launched by local music store M-Theory Record. (San Diego Reader)
Summary: DJ Pound and DJ Cleancut have been working the SD beat battle scene for a good time now, and when they approached EL Do to put together a show with Mono/Poly, we got super excited. Live beat mixing from the likes of DJ Pound and the totally fresh experimental sounds from Mono/Poly are sure to be a pleasure to those of you who are deep into the musical experience. This show is not for beginners, so if you are looking for some common place top 40 tunes, turn the other way, because this show is going to be no where near ordinary.
