Biography

Xiu Xiu
In 2003, McElroy met her long-lost cousin, Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu. He needed a multi-instrumentalist, so she auditioned and joined Xiu Xiu during their Fabulous Muscles tour in 2004.[1] McElroy left Xiu Xiu in May 2009.[3]
Cold Cave
In February 2009, Caralee joined the band Cold Cave. She left in early 2010.
