HEZUS (He's•us) formed in San Diego, CA in 2008; comprised of husband and wife duo Ian (Drums/Vox/Guitar/Bass/Sounds) and Doreen (Keys/Vox/Sounds/Perc).  The two first met while working at an all-ages concert venue and discovering a shared affection for psychedelia-infused rock, they (along with Tiffany Huang) formed in January 2005 under the name of War&Cinema.  The trio grew into a quintet (adding members Alan Del Rosario and Dano Sanchez) and began playing around town, opening for Dengue Fever, Gris Gris, and Akron/Family.  With an ever-changing lineup and differing (musical) directions, War&Cinema dissolved in late 2008.  
 
The name HEZUS - pronounced He's•us - represents the belief that they are just vessels for the music created by God; though they are quick to point out that they are not a Christian band or a religious/ritualistic group associated with some sort of Christian counter-culture music scene, but rather a couple of down to earth, Christ-minded people who just so happen to be musicians.  They are currently a duo and desire to eventually expand, as long as they can find musicians who are like-minded.  While they are most influenced by 60's & 70's underground, improv, psychedelic, pop, jazz, rock, funk, harmonious soul, library records, and film scores their sound can't quite be pinned down to a particular genre.  Their output jumps from one style to another; reinforcing HEZUS' goal to simply play what they want to hear, have fun, and positively affect people in the process.
