Marissa Moore grew up an unusually bright, precocious and charismatic child in shelton, washington. She played trumpet in the marching band in middle school and high school, was vice president of the Rifle Club, and was a competitive swimmer before getting a bunch of scholarships and moving to Bellingham to pursue an art degree.

She has made all kinds of amazing things, starting with comics (like the ones on the trucks cd cover), and more recently videos (like the trucks interview with courtney love). She dabbled in street performance with her xylophone before the trucks formed, making enough money some nights for a beer and a slice of pizza, but more importantly making friends.
She insists she was always painfully shy before the truck's third show, when in the middle of the set she felt her destiny's calling wash over her and spontaneously started doing her now trademark dances, "the wiggle" and "the twitch." She likes to ride bikes and tell long funny stories and be around people who adore her. She is at the moment too selfish and busy for making romantic relationships a priority, but, like everyone, she hopes for a true love, so feel free to send your phone number on a $50 bill for her consideration.

Second generation singer/songwriter Kristin Allen-Zito was raised with the idea that being a musician can be a viable day job. Daughter to Folk Singer Linda Allen, Kristin grew up singing and writing songs in the foggy grey of Bellingham Washington. With a family deeply insconsed in the folk music scene she quickly took to the stage. Either playing solo, with her sister, her mother, or both, she quickly caught the attention of the folk audiences she played for. At an early age she started rubbing elbows with assorted folk music royalty. Utah Phillips, a close family friend, would often “crash” at there house on his way through town.

Time passes, girls grow up. By the time she was old enough to drink she had already shared the stage with Greg Brown and opened for Mary Lou Lord. As the Lead vocalist for two indie rock bands from Bellingham, Assymetry and The Trucks, scores of northwest gigs and a west coast tour found her on stage with Pedro the Lion, Anna Oxygen, and Death Cab for Cutie.

Her debut album, “helium” on Clickpop Records, is a departure from her folk music roots into a realm that could best be described better with words like electric, indie, pop, and straight up rockin. With great song writing at the core of her music, her brief stint in the world of rock and roll shows and smokey bars has given her music an edge and an often times brutal honesty. At times quaint, sometimes brash, helium is a melding of roots, rock and pop. Irresistably hooky pop melodies turn unexpected corners. The sounds of a theremin drift quietly behind an acoustic balad. A saw solo, a wash of guitar and drum timbres, a range of vocal style and technique that is as refreshing as it is intoxicating.
