The Helium Tapes mix rock, exotica, and pop music, but don't tell them that. These days that word "pop" seems to make people run for the hills (or at least the free jazz section of your local record shop), but the brand of pop The Helium Tapes play can't be too easily pinned down.
Guitarist Tim Lohmann played around the St. Louis punk and garage scene for many (and I mean MANY) years and somehow emerged with a buzzing twelve string and a pair of bongos. Six string still included.
Sunyatta Marshall may have cut her teeth on the underground folk scene, but eventually emerged with the sheared scalp of a new wave spitfire and the sultry wink of a Bollywood starlet.
Drummer Joe Stulce spent years bashing out garage punk in some of the filthiest basements and keg parties before landing at the back of the stage with The Helium Tapes, marshmallow sticks intact.
While not handling dangerous parasites, Brandon Mason can be found hunched over his keyboards (analogue and digital) devising new plans for world domination. Until Recently, Brandon also handled bass duties.
