Lineup and details for Helmet on Tuesday 3rd April 2012
HELMET are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of LP 'Meantime' by heading to Europe for a handful of dates, and the Manchester leg is right here!
Support comes from FIGHTING WITH WIRE.
Helmet are pleased to announce a European Meantime 20th Anniversary tour in March/April 2012. The band will be playing their iconic 1992 Meantime album in full, plus a host of other Helmet classics, as well as songs from their latest album, Seeing Eye Dog.
Billed as the thinking mans metal band, Helmet provided an alternative to the grunge bands coming out of the US at the time with their clean cut aesthetic and raw, unrelenting, propulsive sound. Meantime gave the band their first taste of mainstream success - debuting at 68 on the Billboards Top 200. Singles Unsung and In The Meantime went on to become hard rock radio classics and paved the way for many other alt rock bands to come. The album sold 2 million copies worldwide and remains a rock music staple.
Last year Helmet returned with their critically acclaimed 7th studio album Seeing Eye Dog The albums 10 tracks include the title cut, Welcome To Algiers, White City, the mostly instrumental Morphing and a cover of the Beatles And Your Bird Can Sing.
