For the bulk of its career, the band consisted of Edwards, Jean-Yves Tola, and Pascal Humbert, the latter two formerly of the French band Passion Fodder.
Edwards, along with Jean-Yves Tola and Pascal Humbert (together as 16 Horsepower) performs on the soundtrack to the Jim White inspired film Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, playing the traditional "Wayfarin' Stranger." He also appears in the film, playing a fragment of "Phyllis Ruth," a 16 Horsepower song from 1997's Low Estate.
Humbert and Cantat were also part of a collaborative project for Lebanese-Quebec artist Wajdi Mouawad in Le Cycle des Femmes: Trois histoires de Sophocle (known as Femmes trilogy) within the context of Festival d'Avignon.
