Oh, good. That's what we really need. A 2D projection. Let's get it right. Yeah, a 2D projection, man. Hologram is like the Duff Punk kind of terminology we wanna use. It's more sci-fi, I think. It's a little more dystopian to have a hologram than a, what did they call it? A 2D. It's a 2D projection. 2D projection. 2D projection. 2D projection. On like a, I don't know, I was reading the thing. It was like a, it was a glass, like a glass wall. Yeah. I mean, you could see it during the day. Something like a glass tube or something. Yeah, something like that. Something weird like that. So, hey, Helios Creed is gonna call in a couple few minutes, so we're gonna get ready here. He's got the number. Yeah, he got the number. Hopefully, he's gonna come through right now. But anyways, listen, if you guys are listening to the show right now, if you call, call us. Maybe we can put you in, if you wanna ask a couple questions to Helios Creed. Yeah. We'll give you like maybe 20 seconds on air. You know, ask him a question. 20 seconds. Yeah. 20 seconds. 20 seconds. All right. So, okay. Do we have a caller? Yeah. Yeah. Who's this? Hello? Yes. This is Helios. Hey, Helios. How you doing, man? This is Lee. I'm here with your boy. Hi. Okay. I'm doing fine. How are you doing? We're doing just fine, dude. I mean, it's been a talk of the town about this little interview we're gonna do with you. Ask a couple questions. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, thank you for calling here, Pinata Hour. We're on skillroadstudios.com, LA best DIY station. We're doing it on the net because that's how it should be done right now. It's underground. Yeah, it's underground. How you doing, Helios? I'm doing great. Very good. Did you go surfing this morning, Helios? No. No? No. No. The weather has got to warm up just a little bit. But it looks like it's gonna be... It's gonna be a warm summer here, so... Yeah, I... Crazy. I have to get doing some of that. Hey, Helios, people wanted to know this morning, it's like, I wonder what Helios is having for breakfast right now. Really? Yeah. Well, cereal, usually. What's your favorite cereal? Well, this morning I had hard-boiled eggs. Well, that's healthy. Yeah. So, how you doing, my friend? I mean, you... You've been around. I did a little research on the Helios Creed and the Chrome deal here, and it looked like you guys did a lot of impact in the music. Yeah, we were an item back in 77, 78 when we did, you know, the first couple records, and I guess I'm still around. I don't know. But I'm... I'm still around. Well, yes, sir, you're still here. I mean, you're calling right now. I mean, like... Yeah. Have you ever done a podcast before, like a show like this? Been done where? Have you ever done a show like this? We did... He's asking if we've ever done, like, an internet radio podcast. Yeah. We did at SaveKUSF.org last week on Easter. We were up there with a friend of his, and we did... That's where he made an announcement of the nature of what we're up to. And so we're making the rounds a bit. But this is internet. You know, it's underground. It's pretty cool. Right. Great, great. I'm into it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we did stuff like that. It's just that I've done a lot of stuff, so my memory is exactly what... You've been eating a lot of cereal? Is that what you've been doing? Huh? You've been eating a lot of cereal? Oh, well, I... Not a lot, you know. It's a cornerstone of the creative... Yeah. The cornerstone of a healthy breakfast. Yes. So, always grains. Wheaties, breakfast of champions. Yeah. Yeah. I make sure that he's well-fed, and he does the same for me, you know. I didn't have a hard... I didn't have an egg this morning. I just... I had some eggs, too. Yeah. I have wake and bake. Oh, yeah. Wake and bake. Yeah. I have those with two eggs. I usually have a breakfast, and I bake. Baked goods in the morning. I've been baking since I was... Since I was 12. So, that's a good... That's a lot of toasting. Sounds about right. That's a lot of fucking toasting. Well, you know, it takes a lot of bread to be that kind of guy. That hasn't killed me yet, so I figure it must not be too bad for you. It preserves you. Yeah. It preserves us all. I'll tell you why, Helios. It's a good team. I mean, it's all good here. Mm-hmm. You know, I mean... I mean, what... Yeah, I got arthritis in one of my elbows, and for some reason, I like to... You know, maybe I'm a little masochistic, but I like to feel the pain from it, you know? It does. Like, where's this coming from? You ever do that? Yeah. A lot of us in this room don't have that problem. I mean, it's not bad pain. It's just kind of a numb, weird thing, you know? Yeah. Well, I was playing basketball once with one of my friends, and I injured my knee. And it was bad already before. And... And since then, it's getting, you know, getting the pain there, it comes and goes, but... Yeah, knees can be a problem. Yeah. They're very... Those knees, they're very complicated mechanisms. Well, you know what? It supports all your weight, you know? I know. And also, you're a guitarist, so I know guitarists, sometimes they go through this shoulder problem, too. Like, the shoulder blades. Yeah, if you got a heavy guitar, yeah. Yeah. That's why I don't play... Less Paul, because they're just too damn heavy for my shoulders. Is that how you start with? What was one of your first guitars you ever, like, started? Oh, I used Melody Maker to start out with, a Gibson Melody Maker. Right. And now I still... I got a Melody Maker SG Combo and a Fender guitar, Fender Strat. Right. And I have a bass, an Epi bass. It's a cheapo, but, you know. What do you think of those new machines and new pedals? New stuff that are, you know, keep coming out. It makes it easier for anybody just to buy one of those, get a guitar, and make some noise that, you know, a guy like you were doing it, you know, a couple of years. Yeah, it's great, you know. When I have something like that, I like to know that every switch and every button and knob does something, you know what I mean? Right. I hate it when you have something, you're turning the knob, and you go, what does this fucking do? Right. I don't hear nothing. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Do you go after a sound? Do you look? Do you search for it? Yeah, yeah. I mean, right now, I'm in the middle of experimenting with new effects to try to find something new, you know, besides my old, you know, staple sound of the micro synth, you know. Mm-hmm. There's a lot more to it than that, though, you know. The sides are made. He's got, you know, if you don't mind, he's got the, he pulled out the amp for me. He's like, this is the Chrome app. And he turned it on, and I'm just listening to Chrome all of a sudden. Right. But, you know, I'm right down the street, so I have all my stuff down there, too. And we've been kind of throwing our gear into a big pile and seeing what happens. Great. What band are you in? The host or me, Helio? Yeah, your solo or? Oh, well, Lee here. Yeah, I'm the host. This is Lee, Piñata, the guy with an accent. Yeah, yeah, I saw your show. Yeah. He was in a great band called Bastidas, which is how I met these great people. And they stayed with me in the mountains. Yeah, if you want to trip, if you want to, like, trip, really trip, like, trip on it, like, trip big time. Yeah, check out Bastidas. I'll play them for you when I get back. Send me a link, you know. Oh, hell yeah. They're like a company. Yeah, put him on his Facebook. He likes to check out my music. Yeah, my Facebook. Yeah, definitely check it out. Yeah. One of the guitarists is here, too. He's also a great guy. Really? Yeah, he's been tripping out. You know, it's how funny we met Keith, because one thing about Keith is, like, this guy understands. Yeah, Keith's a good guy. Yeah. Yeah, he's a good guitar player, too. Oh, yeah, he is. He's on it. Thank you, guys. I'm impressed. How do you guys meet? I want to know, like, how did this happen? Well, I was walking down the street, and then all of a sudden I heard somebody say, Hey, Helios! And you're like, oh, no. Did you start running, Helios? Yeah. Yeah, let me out of here. No, no. We started hanging out, and he said he played music. I go, how did you know who I was? I knew because, you know, I had a band. We were heavily influenced by Chrome and the guitar playing style that you have. And so I knew a little bit. I'm like, huh? This is interesting that this would just happen. So it needs to be pursued, you know? Yeah, he pursued. Hey, Helios, what's cooking right now for you? Like, what are you doing right now? Are you planning to come and do some shows out here in L.A.? Or, you know, what's your plans right now? Well, we're in the middle of making a Chrome album right now. And when that's done, I would like to tour. Do some heavy touring everywhere. That should be no problem. Yeah, I miss that. It's been a while. But I had to put out a new Helios album and a new Chrome album. Wow. Then we could go out. Have you been in demand? Like, people have been calling you, asking you, bothering you to be? Yeah, yeah. It seems to be more interest than before. Right. You know, comes and goes, you know. Yeah, well, I'm glad you're here, you know. I'm doing a show here with you. Well, thank you. I'm glad to be here. We're going to be playing more of your music from Chrome and also some Helios Creed as well. All right. Yeah. So. Great. And what do you have up there? We got some more half-machine lit moves. Oh, yeah. You know, that was called the top 100 records that set the world on fire. That's pretty cool. So where are you originally from? I'm from Long Beach, California. I was born in Long Beach. Right. Right near where you're at. Yeah, not too far. Yeah, we're not too far. Well, I was raised in San Pedro, next door. Where were you raised? Yeah. San Pedro. Okay. In the neighborhood. Yeah. With Watt. Yeah, right on. Oh, yeah. By the way, you're a good friend of Mike Watt, right? Yeah, yeah. Mike Watt's a close friend. He just played here recently and he didn't make this show. Remember? Yeah. But I have been making his shows as much as possible. We went down the street in the middle of this storm because I came home and I'm like, Hey, dude, Watt's down the street. We got to go down there. And then the show was long over. Yeah, we were a little late. Yeah. We got so drenched. Yeah, Mike Watt's been here in this show, Piña Tower. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, he's a great guy. I'm in a couple times in San Pedro. Yeah, he's a hard worker, boy. He's been touring ever since I can remember. And then, you know... You know, after a show, he's not into hanging out, man. He's into loading up and splitting. He's just... Professional. Yeah, yeah. Come on, Mike. Hang out, you know? What's the hurry? We'll get him next time, then. Yeah. He's a busy boy. Have you ever... Have you ever YouTube played together? Like, jammed together? Yeah, yeah. I came up and jammed with him in New York City and... To about 700 of his fans. And... Yeah, his fans were really cool with me. And they were happy to see me. And I was happy, you know? He's got some good fans. Also, I noticed also, you know, on the net, I saw a couple videos of you hanging out with the kids from MG&T, this indie band. Yeah, yeah. I opened for them at the Greek Theater in L.A. How was that experience? That was really a trip because, like, you know, we don't get too many opportunities to open up. We don't get too many opportunities to open up for super bands and... You know, I mean, I guess the kids are really digging on them. They're really good kids, too. I really like them, you know? Yeah. Really good kids. It's how amazing how your music and the style, everything, the chrome and you still doing it are, you know, are in influence, young musicians. And they're coming out with their own sound, I guess. Yeah, that seems to be my job, to influence people that really make it, you know, big. Right. You know? Sure. Rather than me, myself, you know? Oh. But I'm okay. I'm happy, you know? Well, I'll tell you what, dude. I mean, like, it's for, let's say, from my point of view here, I see when you make music, you just make it, you know, like, I mean, you don't want to go big, like a big pop star, which you can make that kind of music. No, no. I don't even know if I could do that. Yeah, but exactly. But see, what you did is something that I will like, it will last forever and it will influence and it will spread it. Yeah, that's the way I feel. You know? Yeah. It's good stuff. And it's a good thing you encountered this young boy here. Yeah, cool. Yeah, you're in good hands. You know, we really, really want to see you play more. Oh, yeah. We're going to play a lot, you know? Yeah. As soon as my band rests up. Tommy has a band far, far away. They're playing in the Netherlands. Yeah. And they just got back from Europe. He's my keyboard player and his bass player. They just got back from Europe. So they'll be resting up a while and we'll probably put together some shows and finish this Chrome album. So how do you like Santa Cruz? I like it, you know? It's not far from the city, which is good. And it's, you know, it's a little town. It's not a, you know, kind of humble little town. And, you know, there's a lot of pretty girls here and, you know, in the summer. How far are you from Steamers Lane? From where? Isn't Steamers Lane up there? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. How far are we from Steamers Lane? It's like a quarter of a mile. All right. Oh, okay. So we walk up there for a break. I used to surf there all the time. Is that right? Yeah. By the lighthouse, yeah? Yeah. Yeah. I was in a surfing contest, longboard surfing. Right on, man. Yeah. Oh, really? You're a surfer? Yeah. I've been... My name is Travis, by the way. I'm co-hosting the show with... Yeah, he's my friend. Travis here co-hosting with us. The man with the accent. Great. Oh, I just got a word that we're trying to promote a show that might be happening in June. Okay. Helios, are you aware of this? Helios? Yeah, yeah. I've been catching some... Some... Some... Some... Some... Some knowledge about it. Yeah, so apparently, I just got from Monet, June 8th, possibly, at the Echoplex in Los Angeles. Oh. Echoplex, huh? Fascinating. Oh, cool. That should be good. Oh, yeah, Echoplex, right here down the street. For the amphetamine reptile label. Yeah, it's an am-rep thing. Yeah, yeah. So what's the story? Give us a bit on that, homie. Well, that used to be my label, and according to Tom, they're firing back up again, and I think am-rep put out some of the best American rock and roll. I mean, I like their stuff better than the grunge scene. Didn't make it that big, but I thought it was really great music, like the cows and the god bullies and... Oh, here comes the next phase of it, yeah? Yeah, I loved all these bands that were on am-rep. I still do. I listen to them a lot, even today. I really hope Tom does fire back up. Yeah. I wanna see him up the old record label and get it going again, because I think that music really says something, you know? So we're talking, okay, I'm getting this all from Anet here, era of noise rock for am-rep, which is Melvins. Excuse me, my heart trembles when I speak the name Melvins. Yeah, those guys used to open up for us when we were small. Yeah, I mean, this is all, it's a scene we're talking about of these people. What do they call it in that thing? Helios the retardist? But, you know, this is all sort of, it's all still happening. And here's the show where it's going to be happening at the Echoplex June 8th. It's pretty far out. June 8th. Yeah, yeah. That will be cool. Helios Creed. Yeah, he wants the whole band. Yeah, well. We'll do it. It's just been enough. So we're, details coming together. Yeah. It's an exciting time. Anything for the Tom. Yeah. We'll do it now. Yeah. Maybe he'll put it all back together, huh? Mm-hmm. That'll be wonderful. I love the Amrep. I love Amrep shit. How about you? Do you enjoy the Amrep label? Oh, I honestly, I never heard. Oh, you ought to check some of it out. I will. My favorites were the God Bullies and the Cows. Those are my two favorite bands. The Cows. From that label. Wow. And a couple others. What are they all from? Are they? Huh? Where are they from? Yeah. Minneapolis. Oh, I see. Mini No Place. Mini No Place. I like that. Yeah, I remember that. That's what they like to call it up there. That sounds good. That's about right. But they like the snow up there. They like to make snowmen in the winter and shit. Sick. They crazy noise rock while they're in it. Yeah. Yeah, noise rock. It looks like it's been back for a while. And new bands keep popping out, you know, bringing their own. It's some, you know, some noise punk. Have you heard new stuff lately around here in Los Angeles? Have you heard what? Have you heard any good stuff lately? Besides the bands that you just told us. I brought you some stuff. Oh, I'm always trying to check out, you know, new stuff. Yeah, we, I brought a whole bunch. Yeah. My son is actually a musician and an artist. And he's doing an art show in North Carolina. And he also had a band called the Meganox. Now he's going to be doing his solo stuff. So I just wanted to pump him because he's really talented, too. Yeah. Send him our way. We'll be here on the West. Yeah. The force is with him. Yeah, I will send him your way. I think you're going to like him because he's also like he's an expert with turntables. Oh, I see. And eventually I want to put him in my band. But he doesn't do it traditionally. I mean, he plays the turntables like I play guitar, you know, just way out there. And he's got the knack, I think. I'm really proud of him. That's nice. Yeah, his name is Eric Heltley. That's my son. Yeah, you send in our way. Me and his mom never got married. So he's got the Heltley name. Us hippies didn't believe in it back then, even though I wasn't really a hippie. What were you, Helios? I don't really know. A disgruntled postal worker. Just got another bit of information for an upcoming Helios Creed gig headlining Space Hippies Festival. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's happening. September 28th through 30th. Dripping Springs, Texas. Yeah, yeah. We're all going to go do that. It's, uh, yeah. Everybody should be on some kind of psychedelic, I'm sure. Oh, yeah. So it is Tejas. Yeah, that's been getting pretty popular, the space hippie thing. What is that? Who's playing in it? I don't know. You know, I really don't know. I know. All I know is we're headlining, and I don't really know that much. That should give you an idea. It's some pretty far out stuff, it must be. If they were talking about space hippies, they must listen to some really wild music. Yeah, I'm going to wear a Hendrix wig, and I'm going to do, um, you know, uh... Are you going to dress in purple? Yeah. You know, uh... What do you call that song? Purple Haze? No, you know... Mm-mm. Oh, say can you... Star Spangled Banner. Oh, yeah. Yeah. How do you call that song? I like that song. Yeah. That was a good one. Very good. I'll put it on a Jimmy Higgins. Do it. We'll send you along with a spare guitar. I think I could get it down pretty good. Yeah, you ought to try it. Banner. Yeah, I'm going to try it. I don't want to try it. That's it before I get back. It's going to take me a while to get it down. I'll see you tomorrow when you're just writing on it. Somebody has to do it. I'm a drummer. I don't know how... For a guitar. Is that an easy song? Is it a hard song? Is it... What song is that? Star Spangled Banner. Oh, that's more of a solo. Yeah, it's an extended solo. Yeah, he just does a Star Spangled Banner and he makes bombing sounds and explosions on his guitar. It's pretty cool. I could do that with a Fender Strat. We'll send you with an extra one so that you can light it on fire. Yeah, he did that. Hey, Hillius, what do you think of society right now with all this that's going on here in the country? In the United States? I don't know, man. It's pretty crazy shit. Really? Yeah. I don't know, man. The world's pretty complicated right now. And when you make music... Planet just doesn't seem to be big enough for all these creeps. Well, there's like, what, seven billion plus? Yeah, seven billion is the latest I heard. That's a lot of people. That's a lot of toilet paper. Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of demand. That's a lot of piss, too. A lot of piss. Shit. Yeah. Well, you're going to be all right. He knows that ultimately we're good. We need to keep doing our thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. When you two guys get together and start jamming out, how do you guys start your jam session? What do you guys do first? Oh, you mean when we play? Yeah. Sometimes we have an intro that we do first. Yeah, that really blows people away. And then we usually start out with the Descent or, you know, start out with the early Helios Creed records and work our way up to the newer stuff, you know? Right. Yeah. But we do give a full show, you know, with as much, you know, goody effects as possible. Hey, another question is, I had a friend of mine that asked me, is asking me if, when you play guitar, do you really follow a beat or when you just play guitar and pretty much a drummer will follow you or are you really picky with your drummers? Well, I've been pretty lucky with the band. I mean, it just seems like we all fit together, you know? We seem to know what kind of music we want to make and, you know, I love my rhythm section. These guys are great, you know? I feel like I'm with the right people, you know? Cool. And we're still growing and, you know, I like the solo record we made together and, you know, it's nice to continue onward. Continuing onward. Yeah. You know? That's cool. But yeah, now we're working on a Chrome record. Yeah, I can't wait. Do you have any idea when we'll be out? Well, I'd like it to be done in a few months. Right. Three to four months from now, I think it should be done. You know, it's moving along and, yeah, it's sounding really good. And how are you guys doing it? Are you guys doing it through... We got a computer, you know, recorder. It's about a $5,000, you know, recorder. And we also have a reel-to-reel task... Reel-to-reel... Reel-to-reel... 8-track... with a Mackie 1604 board. Ooh. Yeah. We're also looking at some potential locations to do some bigger tracking sessions and finding the right room, right vibe and all of it. But it's all start... It's very... You know, it's pieced together as we go along here. So I do have all the tape I need and with the computer recording set up and my 8-track, I have... I have just about everything I need, you know, for me. I mean, Chrome isn't like, you know, the highest tech band in the world. We like to keep it a little garage, but still we like to have, you know, good quality sound. We just, you know... We sort of want to get back to our roots on this record a little bit. Now that you... Yeah, now that you say roots, there's a story that you... When you guys were making music together, it was kind of hard for... You guys never thought that it was going to be accepted as you guys thought it, but before you know it, it was like, oh, wow, looks like people really like what we're doing here. Yeah, I remember after we were done with Half Machine Lip Moves, I was putting it on and I go, people aren't going to like this shit, man. This is fucked, you know. And fucking lo and behold, it turned out to be our most popular record. You know, so... You can't really... You can't really... Even if you made the music yourself, you still don't know what it's going to do. And you've got a... You've got Galactic Octopi going right now, Helios. Mm-hmm. Yeah, Galactic just came out not so long ago. The actual 30th album, right? Mm-hmm. Wow. Yeah. Amazing. Are you guys releasing it on records also? Oh, this is out on vinyl currently. Yeah? Yeah, it's on vinyl, CD, and yeah, I think that's it. It's a real package, though, this vinyl. It's not a single LP, right? No, it's a definitely full LP. Double? It's a double, too. Yeah, double LP. How many songs in it? Huh? How many songs? Oh, gee. Eight numbers. Yeah. 13, 14? I don't know. It's really... It's got to be more than that. Yeah, it's got all these movements and everything. It's really far out. It's... I didn't write that down on my list. What's the Galactic Octopi, like, a principle or concept? Like, what? Extrapolate, for one. Well, all right. Here's the idea I had. Well, you got a galaxy, right? Galactic. Well, kind of looks like an octopus, you know? Kind of spinning, you know? Yeah. You take an octopus, whenever you see him spinning their eight legs, kind of make a galaxy shape, and that's why I call it Galactic Octopi, because the center of the octopi is the intelligent part, the head, and they say, galaxies have more, you know, higher vibrations toward the center than toward... Like, we're at the outskirts of our galaxy, you know? Toward the center, there's supposed to be more going on. Who knows what? Bigger parties, you know? Bigger invitations. Well, it's gotten... This record's gotten a lot of reviews. It's really making the rounds. Okay. And so... Yeah, I'm glad people are starting to get into it. While you wait for the new Chrome album, you can... Yeah, yeah. It's sort of a good thing to have. Do we have that ready? Do we have it here? Floating around to get people ready for that, you know? But he'll be posting Galactic Octopi and other selections. If you're on Facebook, you can find Helios Creed, and it's almost like he's got a radio station going on his Facebook page, because he'll post music for you, dude. Hey, Helios, do you have your own page on Facebook? Yeah, I do. All right. Did you look into yourself, or do you like Facebook? Yeah, it's all right. It's all right. I'm able to keep track of a lot of my friends, and, you know, write my girlfriend, and it's very convenient, you know? Right. Send videos off to people, you know? People send me videos. A lot of times I go, wow, I haven't heard this song in years. Like, a friend of mine just sent me Men in Black by the Stranglers, and I forgot about that song, you know? I go, wow, it's great to hear that again. Yeah, so much music. It's a stupid thing. It's a stupid thing. It's a stupid thing. It's a stupid thing. It's a stupid thing. It's a stupid thing. It's a stupid thing. It's a studio version. I think it's more of a live version or something. But it was good to hear again. Actually, that song inspired me a lot back in the early Chrome days, you know, because they used vocal effects on it, and it was about alien kind of men, you know, and they were all, I just thought it was kind of cool back in the day, you know? Did you also work with Bulkhole Surfers too as well? Huh? Yeah. Yeah, I played on Independent Worm Saloon, if you didn't know. No, no. I did Clean It Up Bitch and the Annoying Song. Of course, Paul got all the credit. They forgot to put my name on the record. Yeah, I go, hey, Paul, you didn't put my name on the record. He goes, yeah, now everybody's going to think it's me. I go, fucker. But they didn't know. It's okay. You played together after that, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We were, you know, yeah, I wanted to make, I want to make the best, you know, I wanted to make the weirdest guitar players from the, you know, from the last 30 years. I wanted Ted Falcone, Paul Leary, a lot of different people on it, you know? And I've been able to get everybody, but Paul has been kind of dragging his feet. So if you ever get to talk to him, say, hey, man, you got to make a song or make a track for Helios. Yeah, I'm going to call him tomorrow morning. Yeah, tell him, yeah, I'm waiting for a track from him for the best guitar players of, you know, the last 30 years. You know, he's definitely one of them. Right. You know? Him and Ted, I really love Ted Falcone from Flipper. I love that band. Oh, Flipper, yeah. Yeah, I love Flipper. Who doesn't? Ted's a friend of mine. Yeah. And yeah, I want to get him on it, too. So I really got to get on this thing because I really think people are going to like it, you know? Yeah. Because it's going to be all these, you know, flip, I want to get Thor from the Cows. I want to get, you know, my friend from the, you know, God Bullies on there, you know? It's going to be great. You mentioned all these bands, so I'm going to play them later in the show. Yeah, yeah, write them down. So, you know, people are listening to the show, they're getting ideas, what, you know, what it's all about. Yeah, yeah. From the scene back in the day. That's a lot of AMREP bands that we're talking about. Yeah, a lot of AMREP bands. So hopefully Tom will fire up the label again, you know? Yeah, well, in June, apparently. Yeah. You can count with us. Yeah, we'll come back. We'll do this again. We'll get this, I was telling him, you know, about the steel door and the whole thing hinged on getting this door installed. It's pretty cool. For security purposes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was very never-ending drama about the steel door. Yeah, but once that door was there. Now I gotta get permission from the owners to be able to do this. Oh, boy. Yeah, it's always something, you know. Yeah, so my, I got ripped off once. I didn't have the steel door. So, yeah, I don't want to go through that again. Yeah, me either. Welcome to the club. It's part of being a musician. You got ripped off, too. Both myself and my buddy have. I got my co-host got robbed at his house. You know, you don't really fucking L.A. When you have to replace that gear, you really start to care. Yeah. I hate thieves, man. I really do. Yeah. They have no business on this planet. I stole, I stole a bike tube from Rite Aid. Actually, it was thrifties when I was when I was 12 years, when I was 12 years old. And that, that was a lot. My mom took me to church and made me fucking say prayers. And that was the last thing I stole in my whole fucking life. Well, that's great. My story is very similar. You know, it worked. Yeah. I really, you know, I knew when I turned 18, my stealing days was going to be over. But we never stole from individuals. We only took from corporations. There you go. Yeah. Because, you know, that was our. Yeah. I just can't steal, period. I suck at it. So. Yeah, I suck at it, too. It was my brother's idea. They put me up to it. Oh, of course. So. So. But no, we all got out of it when we reached that age. We would just do things like steal lumber and stuff. Yeah, yeah. I stole. I take it back. I stole lumber. God, there was so much money back in Antigua. Well. Yeah, we were the original American pickers. The American. There you go. So we got a few minutes left. I just wanted to, you know, drop a couple of things, which is Helios Creed, June 8th, Echo Plex for Amphetamine Reptiles. All the kids will be there. The Melvins and everything. That will be. Hammerhead. That will be sold out in a second. Sounds great. I'm very into it. And then in September, we got Dripping Springs Space Hippies Festival, September 21st. Yeah, that's in Texas near Austin. So be there. Yeah, it's going to be. Wow. It's going to be a whole lot of fun. Well, Helios, I really want to thank you for calling us and giving us the chance.

They're both in Echo Park. Yeah. But yeah, so... What Lekeg show did you go to? Oh, I went... There was a dude... I was down there. It was like four or five years ago. This dude with the banjo jumping around. And then Basidas played. Oh, that was Tim. That's gotta be Tim. Yeah, he was great. He was cool. It was... Oh, my God. He was cool. Yeah, that was a fun show. You guys showed me a real slice of L.A. Yeah, Lekeg. Cutting edge art music shows. It was fun. I miss it. I miss it. We were at both of them. Rest in peace. The one under the bridge and the one... It caught on fire. Yeah, that one too. I watched it from my bedroom window burn down. And it's weird how it moved each time. It was at the bridge and then it moved. Yeah. And then it moved again. And then it moved into Black Triangle. Oh, yeah. Black Triangle. It just moved down that street. It's kind of like how the smell has always moved around. Well, only once, really. But... Yeah. That's still going, isn't it? Yeah. Awesome. All right. Let's hear some more of you, dude. Can you want to hear like a live song? Yeah, go ahead. Okay. You want to play with a...

No, that was like a MySpace widget, like choose from a list of things. Yeah. So those are the things that I chose from like one through three. But yeah, but I wouldn't make those words up myself except death rock. Yeah. Yeah, I claim death rock. Talking about death rock. Listen, if you're in a boat. We dress like Jedi. We dress like Jedi and we fuck for money. We're the new daughters of Los Angeles. We don't eat cereal. We burn it. Put yourself in this situation right now. You're in a boat, right? You're in the ocean right now. Okay. And you're in a boat. With you? No, it's just you. Just you in the boat, right? Just you and me. And then you look on the water, right? You have to save just one person. And you look down in the water and you can only save one person and you can only save one person in the boat. Like, you rescue them. Is everybody in the boat? No, it's just you right now on the boat, right? But who would you save? I mean, in the water you will look at Black Francis. And it's also Axe Rose in the water. Which one would you save? You have to pick only one. Yeah. Which one would you pick? Black Francis. Frank Black, yeah. Yeah? Yeah. What do you guys think? I think you're right. Yeah. Yeah. Because, um... Axel, yeah. He's not... Well, whatever happened... So how was... Did anyone get from end to end of Chinese democracy? What do you think? Yeah, yeah. I tried to listen to it. Like, it's not a bad record, but it's... But... Well, it is a bad record. Yeah. But it's not like, uh... Like, you can't listen to it. I think it was probably pretty heartfelt. I think maybe he believed it. Mm-hmm. I think he just doesn't care anymore. And that, um... It's a combination. Mm-hmm. Um... Once you go to cornrows, you never go back. Yeah. Are you... Are you... Are you listening to three different labels right now? I noticed you're in Burger Records, too. Magic Monster. I never heard of Magic Monster, but who's that? Well, that's... They actually run an internet, like, a radio that's based in L.A. Oh, okay. But it broadcasts on the internet, and, um... Oh, yeah. I'm a DJ on there. Like, a lot of people that you probably, like, know are DJs on there. What's her name? The girl? She has a show there, too. Carissa? Who? Carissa? I think so. Or she's a lady that... Yeah, Carissa and Seth. But there's lots of girls with shows there and boys with shows. What did you release with Burger Records? Tapes? There's a tape that's... that we've been talking about for... Like, we both wanted to do a tape for about, like, a year and a half, and then I'm in... Like, within the two months, I'm gonna turn it into that movie. So it's coming out by, like, August for sure. That's the latest it'll come out. Cool. And you always play around here in L.A.? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Do you play with any other groups as a guitar player? Um... Oh, I just played for Blue Jungle as a bassist for a long time. I was listening to their tape. That was really fun, yeah. Yeah. I love Blue Jungle. Who do they have now? They have a girl there. Yeah, they're the best band in Los Angeles. They came up and played in Santa Cruz, and it was like... It's the Niles. I was like, wow. Yeah, they asked me, like, hey, Lee, we're going up north. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I know this guy, Keith. Yeah, see, anyone that you send me, I'm like, this must be good. I sent a couple, a few bands there. That was great. Yeah, I found that and went to the Burger Boogaloo at the Parkside, San Francisco, and I saw the tape. I was like, give me the tape. Give me the Blue Jungle tape. Yeah. So good. They play Red Riding Hood. So I noticed you always play with a lot of people. You even play with this guy right here with Travis, too. Yeah, I play with Travis. He was great. He's still great. He's over here. And he's still actually in the band still. Yeah. Yeah. In parentheses, yeah. How many bands? How many people in it right now so far? Well, there's really like three that if I do a show with a whole band, then that means I'm playing with Colin and Rocio, but we just added Greg this weekend, and Greg's going to kind of play a little bit of everything in our live shows. Do you have any releases lately? Are you going to release a couple stuff? Okay, there's a burger thing that's coming out by August, and that's a cassette. But some of the tapes are, like some of the songs were taped back in like 94. Yeah. And then it's going all the way to stuff I did that I taped a couple weeks ago. So it just spans a lot of time and it just jumps around. But Sean and Lee made a program and it sounds really good. And then there's Curses that's coming out on Magic Monster, and that's all songs that are newer that I haven't taped yet. And then on Homo Town Records. Yeah, you know what? I've been checking out Homo Town Records. That's a band called Pan. Yeah. Yeah, it's a thing. I like this band. I like the nation. So he just said that we could be on a comp if we wanted to. Cool. And Bernard Records is on there too.
