About this concert
Helicon formed in 2012 and have released quite a body of work in their time as a band. The Eps have long sold out. All 3 Helicon albums and their Fuzz Club session have multiple vinyl presses which is a testament to their exponential growth in popularity. Recently the band have had multiple plays on BBC 6 Music which has given them a new audience.
The band will be travelling back to Scotland with sitar and pedal boards in hand from their Fuzz Club show in Eindhoven. Helicon create some of the finest Psych Rock to grace the earth. The rock solid rhythm section of this band gives the guitars and synths the space to colour the sound. The band are old friends of the venue and are giving the lions share of the door tonight to Hot Box as they are fully aware we have been on a knife edge in terms of survival.
Support will be added. Early tickets are strongly recommended for this evening as it will be busy. Doors at 7
All ages under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.

Helicon (Glasgow) Biography
Cinematic psychedelia, from East Kilbride, Glasgow, on Fuzz Club. Formed by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes, Helicon have become a mythical force in the UK underground. Over the last 10 years they've released 3 x singles, 9 x EPs, 2 x studio albums and 1 x Fuzz Club live session album.
Channeling the cosmic noise of their Scottish homeland (see The Jesus & Mary Chain, Mogwai etc.) and sitar-led, opium-tainted sounds of India with the neo-psychedelic swoons of 90s San Francisco, the band signed to Fuzz Club records in 2017.
Having toured UK and Europe extensively, Helicon have developed an international following with regular airplay on radio stations in UK, Ireland, Germany, USA, Australia, New Zealand and more
Their self-titled debut album was recorded and produced by Tony Doogan at Mogwai's Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow. More recently the band collaborated with Will Carruthers (ex-Spacemen 3 , Spiritualized, Dead Skeletons) for the hilarious, profoundly mind-melting single 'Im More English Than You, You Cunt!'.
The band are currently working on their 3rd album out early 2023 on Fuzz Club. The new lineup includes Mike Hastings on guitar (Trembling Bells, Peter Daltrey's Kaleidoscope UK, Mike Heron - Incredible String Band, Mike & Solveig) and Billy Docherty on bass (Filth Spector, St John's Ambience, Dead Temple).
