"Black Helium are the new doom beat pop sensation to hit the streets! This London based foursome create a kaleidoscopic whirlpool of bubblegum noise, sexy-low end riffs, cave-man beats and catchy metalized pop melodies.
Obsessed with all things interstellar and sleazy, Black Helium believe it to be rock year zero. And have assigned themselves the job of spreading their infectious slime-ball, junk rubbing vibrations throughout the universe… via your crotch!
But don't be put off by songs about murder, Satan, delirium tremors, sex stalkers and Space coffins... Black Helium are a party band, and everyone at school will think you are cool if you like them."
THE PLAYGROUND presents Filthy Electro Trash on Saturday 14th Novmber. Come along and celebrate with:
Punks Jump Up (KITSUNE)// Punx Soundcheck (KITSUNE)// Steed Lord// Gobsausage// Glass Diamond// TOY TOY// The Education// Mr. Beasley// Ben Osborne// DJ Darkorse// Circa Burlesque- Little Bo Freak// Chrys Columbine// Slinky Sparkles and Straightola (VJ Set)
Yo BLACK HELIUMasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
