   About The Help Desk

MySpace Layouts

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Green - Image Hosting

The Help Desk infuses the pulp of pop with the essence of soul, rock, blues, and jazz in a tornado of hooks and blitzkrieg of harmonies, reclaiming pop from the basement of guilty pleasure. With the rhythmic sense of the dustiest Motown record; gritty guitars that cut solos like Ginsu; plush harmonies that tuck you in at night; and lead vocals richly reminding the listener how good a marriage of melody and meaning can be. This isn't just pop music...its diversapop!

Played one of your tracks a few weeks back, which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that about 17% of humans are left-handed. The same is true of chimpanzees and gorillas.


Check the blog for more info.

Hey there – Just stopping by with a quick reminder about this Saturday’s show at the Park West, our only hometown performance of the Winter/Spring in fact! The night begins with an opening set from Land of Atlantis, followed by co-headlining sets from FGC and Hot Buttered Rum (FGC plays first!).
Hope to see you there!

4) Feel free to tell me how all of your holidays went.

5) Advanced apologies from yours truly for the generic nature of this Comment; it'll take me awhile to catch up with everyone, plus school and whatnot are coming around again.
