In the biography section, it is stated that the founders "recruited Juan Alderete on bass" when forming the band.

This is false. They actually started out with a female bassist called Eva Gardner in 2001, replaced her with old friend Ralph Jasso in 2002, recruited Flea (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) for the bass playing on the first album in 2003 and THEN got the Racer-X bassist on board for touring and recording after that point.

Other details to be added to the profile include the addition of three players:

Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez (brother of Omar, the guitarist) on percussion
Adrian Terrazas Gonzalez on flute, tenor sax, bass clarinet and add. percussion
Paul Hinojos (former At The Drive-In bassist and Sparta guitarist) on sound manipulation
