The band was formed in 2001 with the intention of exploring connections between jazz, psychedelic rock, hip hop, punk rock, folk and electronic music.

The name Tetrix is derived from the popular computer game Tetris and the fractal Sierpinski triangle.

Themes of freedom (philosophy), mathematics and mysticism appear throughout the band's music.

The band has released 17 full-length albums on Calgary's Odin Audio label and a 12" compilation LP on Belgium's MeWe Le Disque Label.

Tetrix has been featured in numerous publications including Fast Forward Weekly, Beatroute and Gauntlet in Canada, Trax magazine in France and Voxer magazine across Europe.
