WWSP emerged from the great local music scene in Chicago. We evolved out of the Black Forest Theater Company, a fringe theater in Chicago. We started incorporating live music into our theatrical productions a few years ago and we began to build a set of original songs from there. Our band started out as a duo and has now blossomed into a full band with occasional guests. Many of our performances incorporate a multi-media approach, mixing music, video and dance.
From a review at Broken Hearted Toy by Terry Flamm
"White Wolf Sonic Princess is comprised of Carla Hayden and Jimmy Moeller who also founded the avant garde theater group Black Forest some years ago. In live performances, they’re often backed by other musicians, but on This Car Available, it’s pretty much Carla on vocals and percussion, and Jimmy on vocals, guitar, bass, and percussion. They drift through 9 indie rock songs like a couple of hipsters.
In many ways, White Wolf Sonic Princess is a natural progression from the duo’s theater group. In recent years, Black Forest’s shows have morphed into multi-media affairs that combine drama with live music and film. Even when you weren’t sure what was going on in a Black Forest production, Carla and Jimmy’s engaging stage presence and clever dialogue pulled you in.
This Car Available likewise offers consistently fun and imaginative word play, usually set to slinky, sparse arrangements. Carla does most of the singing, affecting a seductive drawl on Architectural Weave, while crooning beautifully on the acoustic “Surfer Boy From Illinois,” which also features Bacchus Blue on harmonica. Jimmy sings lead on the Hollywood satire “Elston Gunn Is Banished From Eden,” a song taken from a Black Forest play. “Behind Closed Eyes” is the most theatrical track on This Car Available, spinning spiritual imagery via Carla’s spoken word delivery and a jazz arrangement."
