Helms Alee on tour! Helms Alee on tour! A tour like this is like winning the lottery! Not only do we get to see them (tomorrow!)...but so do a whole boatload of folks in cities across the US. Their totally undefinable debut 2008 album "Night Terror" was one of those fiercely loved but under noticed albums...the type of record that makes us want to be a better label, and the type of album that makes other amazing bands want to take them on the road. It's nice to see both coming to fruition...the Helms Alee trio will be sharing the stage with Boris, Red Sparowes, Young Widows, Akimbo, Narrows and others between now and mid September. And if we're all good and eat our vegetables we'll get a new album (produced by Matt Bayles again!) from these guys by the end of the year....which means we get to spread our wings and shine with a whole slab of fresh indefinability in 2011!
