It consists of vocalist Barbara Schoblocher, lead guitarist András Szajkó, bassist Gábor Jancsó, guitarist László Mózner, drummer Ádám Juhász and keyboardist Máté Pénzes.

As of February 2023, the band released 22 music videos, 4 studio albums and 2 EPs.
Its name refers to Hungarian actress and singer Blaha Lujza (1850-1926).
Two members, Barbara and Gábor first met in university in 2012. In one week, the current formation (without keyboardist Máté Pénzes) was together. The first started writing songs in English. Their first single, The Wanderer led the local charts for 3 weeks. In their first 1,5 years, they had about 50 concerts including one of Hungary's biggest festivals, VOLT. Their first EP, Tales of Blahalouisiana came out in 2013 and it received good response from critics. Its lead single, My Baby Wants To Leave This City was played in daily rotation in local radios.
Inspired by the 60s and American music producers, using blues and country elements the band released its first music video in the winter of 2013 for their song Tonight I'll Dress in Blue.
