''The Province'', March 7, 1999.〕 Originally formed in Montreal in 1996 by Andrew Rodriguez and Sam Goldberg,〔"Bodega is bouncing back". ''Kingston Whig-Standard'', October 10, 1998.〕 the duo recruited drummer Kim Temple and moved to Toronto to record ''Bring Yourself Up'', which was released in 1997 on independent label Vibra Cobra Records.〔 The band then signed to London Records, which remixed and rereleased ''Bring Yourself Up'' internationally in 1998.〔 Following that label's acquisition by Universal Music Group later the same year, however, the band were left largely unpromoted in the upheaval; they were offered the opportunity to move to Sire Records, but declined.〔"Bigger, brighter, more upbeat ; Bodegas unleash new CD tonight at the Rivoli".

''Toronto Star'', April 21, 2007.〕 Rodriguez subsequently opted to retire the band name, releasing ''Here Comes the Light'' in 2007 as a solo album rather than a third Bodega album.〔"High expectation an elusive target; Andrew Rodriguez has high hopes for third CD, but there is more to come".
