Any New York Helmet fans?

Sign in to disble this ad
I was just wondering if anyone here from the New York City-ish area was into the rock band Helmet. Of course I bring it up some what as a promotion sort of thing as I will be opening with my band (Hydrovibe) at the show on Oct. 19th. Its a Saw 3 promo show sort of deal for us bands on the soundtrack. Just wondering if anyone has heard about it or was going to be attending. We maybe could talk some bass if you're there?? (Obviously I'm a bass geek as I've been on here for so many years now!)

Now I await my bashing :-(

Some people like to talk a lot of trash so you never know! I think one of Helmet's guitar players actually ended up going over to Biohazard. I'm not that good with my Helmet history though. Here's the press release:
HELMET, THE SMASHUP & HYDROVIBE HEADLINE A MUSICAL EVENING INSPIRED BY THE SOUNDTRACK OF SAW 3. HOSTED BY SAW STAR SHAWNEE SMITH AND FEATURING MEMORABILIA AND PROPS FROM THE FIRST THREE SAW MOVIES.

In anticipation of the opening of SAW III, which hits theaters October 27th, the SAW franchise teams up with WARCON RECORDS to begin pulling out all the stops with a show at Webster Hall in New York City, October 19th. The show focuses on the musical side of SAW.

The evening combines appearances by bands featured on the SAW III soundtrack, to be released October 24th, via Artist Addiction, WARCON Enterprises & Fontana Distribution. The night will be headlined by the infamous HELMET, The Smashup and other artists to be announced. The show will be hosted by Shawnee Smith (who stars as Amanda in all three SAW films). Special guests from the SAW franchise will also make appearances.

The show will also feature a SAW museum that includes: torture devices, headgear, set pieces and even Jigsaw's infamous puppet "Billie" as well as other authentic props from the SAW franchise. All on exhibition for the first and only time ever.

As an added bonus, true SAW devotees will be able to join the CIRCLE OF BLOOD Circle of Blood participants will gain early access to the venue for a private meet and greet autograph session with Shawnee Smith,the bands, and members of the cast and will take home a commemorative bag of SAW merchandise.

For ticket information to participate in this special event, and to find out how to take part in the Circle of Blood... CLICK HERE

SInce the links won't work you can go to www.saw3tour.com if interested in any info. Our band is Hydrovibe....we obviously all hope this show sells well enough to not be cancelled. Helmet hasn't been doing so well in recent years.
